It's a stabbing pain that radiates from your belly button to your right side. at least that's what it felt like for me. Easy to diagnose. stand up, jump 8" off the ground, when you hit the ground, if you slump to the floor in agony (like I did in the ER) it's Appendicitis.

Royale with Cheese Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Tore my groin. Entire leg was black and blue all the way down to my ankles....gravity pushed the bruising down. Doc told me to not even stretch it for at least 6 weeks because I could re-tear the muscle fibers that are trying to heal. After about 12 weeks, I could start walking without a noticeable limp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surgeon came in finally, said you want it out or another MRI?? I said out please. done deal. They said it was ready to burst.

billsfan5121 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Doing electrical work, had a high voltage panel blow up in my face and hand. Blew the skin off my hand between my thumb and index finger, and 3rd degree burns up my arm toward my elbow. As dumb as it sounds, that didn’t really hurt. What hurt is it also burnt my eyeballs. For about 24 hours, it felt like someone was dumping salt into my eyes. Went to the ER, and they numbed my eyes. That helped. I broke my fibula when I was 20. Not across, but up. I jumped off a roof and landed wrong. That hurt, but the real pain was getting the cast off and walking again for the first time. I went to work the day after, and was on my feet for 10 hours. The pain in my heal was unreal. Can’t even describe it. But the worst pain? For me, it was gall stones. Absolutely unbearable. I like to think I can handle pain. I had the surgery and didn’t use pain meds and went to work the very next day. I can handle it. But the pain from the gallstones themselves? I’d rather die than go through that again.

BillsFanNC Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I was involved in a serious car accident 12 years ago. The initial pain of many of the injuries I suffered was pretty bad, but the pain that ruled them all didn't happen until a week after the accident. I needed surgery to repair a tibial plateau fracture of my left knee so back to the hospital I went for surgery. Realign bone, insert screws and done...well when I woke up after that surgery I was in pain that words cannot describe. I was flailing around on the bed screaming. The nurse asked me for my pain score on a 1-10 scale and I screamed 20 at her. They were able to get some more meds on board pretty quickly, but the five minutes it took felt like hours. At my follow ups the doc kept asking if I wanted the screws out......Never! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bad thing about kidney stones is while they are extremely painful, they aren't going to kill you - so when you're sitting in the emergency room in agony (enough pain to make you puke), lots of people get seen before you do. When I finally got to see doc he put in an IV, said he would send me for scans to see how big the stone was and left. About an hour later a nurse came by and asked how i was doing - I said I could really use something for the pain and he answer was "well, even though you're big guy, I'm not sure we can give much more morphine" to which I exclaimed "I'm already ON MORPHINE???!!!"

Gugny Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 1. I never went to the doctor, but I'm sure I broke my tailbone in 1996. Drunk. Slipped on the ice on my way into a bar. But it was right after I made out with my lesbian friend, which I still consider one of my greatest accomplishments, ever. Anyway, it's been over 20 years and if I sit too long, it still hurts. 2. I know this isn't technically an "injury," per se, but I had a vasectomy last October. I don't know if just having local anesthesia is normal these days (doc seems pretty old school), but I can honestly say - without a doubt - that it was the worst, most excruciating pain I've ever had to endure. It was nearly an hour of absolute, pure hell and the list of people I'd wish that kind of pain upon is very, very short (no one on this site - yes, even @DC Tom).

Gray Beard Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 In ninth grade I hit my head on the ice while skating. Threw up a couple hours later. Saw flashing lights and had headaches many times over the next few weeks. I’m pretty sure it was a concussion. My mom took me to a neurologist a few days later, but there wasn’t really anything he could do or say other than I should rest for a week or two.

Fadingpain Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I honestly think the most pain I have ever felt and one of the worst types of pain you can feel, is an internal pressure on your organs. Like severe gas pains/cramps or being severely constipated if you ever have been. That type of thing hurts a hell of a lot more than taking deep cuts with stitches, breaking bones, or other things that sound more dramatic.

Mark80 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 ACL. Never got it fixed so I am super cautious about it now. This was 17 years ago. It has probably given out 4 or 5 more times since then when I stepped wrong or slipped on something. When that happens it is so painful that I get nauseous and almost vomit and start sweating profusely. Funny thing is, when it happened the first time it didn't really hurt that bad...until the next day when the swelling really kicked in. That was a B.
