Ice bowl 67 Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 What was the worst pain you guys have felt? Has anyone ever broken any bones or worse like concussions or other organ injuries or major surgeries you have ever had? My Dad just went through Prostate surgery and Bladder surgery. He said it was painful but doing great now. Anyone have any stories?
Figster Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 you guys kicking our ass was mighty painful to watch If that counts. 2 1 2
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Broke my elbow chasing My Brother in the parking lot of Crystal Beach, 1977. Left elbow needed surgery, pin still in. Fell trying to hurdle the parking lot chains. Landed on grass. I knew I instantly broke it. Went back to the States to get it repaired. Good old days... When You went back to the car for lunch! 16 minutes ago, Figster said: you guys kicking our ass was mighty painful to watch If that counts. That too. 1

Soda Popinski Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Broken collar bone senior year returning an interception. Some big ole OT landed on me and it shattered into 4 different pieces. Not fun.
Shamrock Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 I’ve dislocated left elbow- snatching, arm went backwards, broken right collar bone, dislocated L knee thrice- football, have 45 stitches in L leg- fell from a cliff ledge, sutured cheek- glassed- pub work, forehead- pub work, lips- blacked out weightlifting, chin laceration and chipped chin- football, dental implant- glassed, pub work, fingers- broken- football, pubs and sutures- opened a glass bottle that the metal cap had stuck on and the cap and neck of the bottle snapped and went through hand, back sutures- stabbed in pub, L foot- smashed toe- crow bar. Was a ‘difficult’ youngster! Worse actual pain, watching my daughter being anaesthetised for a procedure, my 9 month old in ICU with hydrocephalus and again my daughter when born was in NICU- Bay 8 for 2 weeks. They were far worse for me!
sherpa Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 I was doing minor maintenance underneath my tractor. Not a small one, about 4000 pounds. The hydrostat transmission suddenly engaged, (long technical reason), and it started forward. Big tractor tires got my shirt in a split second and pinned me. The tractor ran over me, right across my chest. I was facing down. Anyway, broke 21 of my 24 ribs. Four hour surgery and four titanium pieces to reconnect ribs. 2

Gout is another one. Don’t even talk to me unless the weight of a cotton sheet on your big toe makes you want to cry in pain has ever happened to you. Or for those people that have experienced the pain of trigimina neuralgia. Up there with some of the worst pain ever. Ive had all 3 of these. They all come and go at different times. Well, the fissure is hopefully healing. Sure doesn’t feel like it tho. Trigiminal nueralgia and Gout make you want to punch someone or something.

The owner of my company sleeps with a kleenex box on his feet because of gout. Thought it was funny when i heard it, now not so much.
row_33 Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) my towel biting friend had pneumonia and didn't finish the prescription given to him, he got pneumonia back, plus the fissure.... people, finish your bacterial anti-biotics even if you feel fine after 7 of those 10 horse pills....

Tore mine in 2006, at work. First time experience with a "nerve block." Had the surgery, went home, was OK, till the freakin nerve block wore off, then indescribable pain. Couldn't lie in bed, had to wear this appliance, that resembled a love seat, around my neck, and rest my arm on. So I obviously got thru it. Have the same probs in bed, as you describe. 8 years later, went in to have some MRI confirmed bone chips removed. When I woke up, they told me it was a rotator cuff. Just wanted to end it all then! Since it was not a result of an injury, maybe just wore out, the recovery was a piece of cake. No love seat to wear, and very minor pain.

Seasons1992 Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 These stories make me happy I'm only slightly overweight and have never had anything major happen to me. God bless you all! 1

Didn't break it, and for whatever reason I don't remember it being terribly painful I just can't bend that finger backwards anymore. But i never really needed to. It was that stupid slider door Edited October 2, 2018 by Soda Popinski
