the most excruciating pains/accidents/injuries u have endured..

while reading about Brians dental pain, it got me thinking about the worst injuries ive had and subsequent pain that came with em. so i thought it be interesting to see what other ppl view as the most agonising episodes theyve endured..
..
i suppose the most traumatic injury ive had so far was some 22 years ago.
i fractured my skull after falling from the school climbing frame. obviously i remember little of it. i dont remember any pain tbh, despite the fact i could easily have died.
i remember being visited at Barnsley Oz by my classmates. the sympathy didnt last for long though when the frame was pulled down as a result of my accident. "its ur fault we ant got no climbing frame Andy" lol
but the painful part, was not being able to 'laik art' for 6 month. no footy, no Metrodome. no fun. not good when ur 7 year old. i lost my mam to cancer a couple of month later too so it wasnt the best time..
im sure im not alone in having gone thru some evil flu bugs as a kid too. boy they were bad. its because ur immune system is weak at that age, so ur first flu, ur first sore throat, ear-ache, are proper nasty. at least they were for me! lol
..
the next big accident was rather bizarre tbh. i used to play cricket on our driveway with a bin as the stumps. so id just bowl at it all day with a 'tennisy'. but then id bowl at the wrought-iron gate at the other end. well this one day, i had to retrieve the ball that bounced over or thru the gate and into the main road. but when id got it, i remember just deciding to bowl it as i ran back across the road to our drive.
in doing so, as i bowled it over-arm, my hand/wrist came down with force straight onto the fancy wrought-iron gate.. WOW. it hurts just thinking of it. id impaled my wrist on 1 of the sticky out bits, and i got flung to the ground but with my hand attached to the gate. i screamed like a banshee as my dad came to help from the conservatory. i was 13 i think. it amazingly didnt break owt. just bruising really, and the hole! but ive still got the inch wide scar to remind me..
the penultimate pain memory is after i was attacked and robbed of my mobile and cash about 4 year ago at a bus stop 1 nite. they knocked me to the floor and volleyed me about 10 times to the ribs.. i blacked out as i struggled for breath.
luckily i was found, and i woke up in AGONY in Oz with surgery about to take place. theyd broken 5 ribs, 1 a compound fracture where it stuck out my chest under my armpit. not a pretty sight. the bones are SO white! another rib had punctured my lung.
the pain lasted for 2 or 3 weeks. moving, sitting and sleeping was like being stabbed or sumat..
but the worst pain would have to be about 15 month ago when after feeling deathly as i woke up 1 nite, i was dripping with sweat like a shower, yet i was COLD. couldnt breathe. was vomiting violently. i foned 999, and managed to open my door before collapsing. it was a burst appendix, nearly died apparently.. and that for me was a nightmare episode

 

Reading your narcisstic ramblings

causes blinding headaches.

Eh, eh, only joking eh ?

 

Re: Reading your narcisstic ramblings

dont read em then.. eh eh? lol

 

dont paper cuts hurt...:wink:

 

My specialist subject lol.

Here's a few of mine:

Tearing shoulder tendons and then having to wait over a year to get it operated on.

A car crash where I've been pinned into the front seat (passenger btw) by the dashboard, vaguely remembering the ambulance guy saying "they'll not survive this one" before passing out but ultimately just breaking my jaw and several teeth. Oh, and a two inch scar under my chin which had to be re-done under local anaesthetic because the guy that stitched it in the saturday night emergency room must have been a mail-bag maker fresh out of prison - or ****ed.

Having my kneecap "explode" the day after having a cast taken off after its initial break 6 weeks previous - from a clash of knees playing football. Knee had swollen up to the point where I was on the gas & air and it was still killing me. The heat coming off it was unbelievable. Had 5 cortizone injections before they were to drain it. Then 5 nurses came in, two held my feet down, two on the hips and one on the chest as the doctor produced a syringe to drain it. "This may smart a bit" I thought. I wasn't wrong. They drained off two pints of a bloody fluid (after increasing the size of the needles several times) and the swelling was still the size of a football. Had to wait until the next day for the op because higher priority cases came in. Didn't do much sleeping that night I can tell you. Took my kneecap off and wired it together, then replaced it. Spent 3 months post-op in a rehabilitation center to get the severed tendons to stretch back to normal again.

Had a front (upper) tooth knocked back into my mouth playing cricket. Went to A&E where they put a bridge on to hold it temporarily in place before going to the dentist. He referred me to a specialist and by the time I had seen him, my body had been trying to reject the "foreign" tooth by sending some kind of acid (can't remember details now) to the area. Anyway, this turned the bone in the area into a pulp. Needed a "chemical bone" injected in the area. But the fun part was still to come. When the chemical bone had "taken" a couple of months later, the original tooth was to be anchored in this. To do this I had 13 injections in between the top front teeth - at which point he asked me if I wanted to watch the op on the telly above me btw!!!. They then cut between the teeth and peeled the gums back before fixing the tooth. Can't remember how many stitches, sure he said 30-odd. Oh, and a root canal. But hey ho, 2 and a half hours later and I'm also £1000 lighter in the pocket - which REALLY hurt.

But I still maintain to this day that tearing the cruciate ligament in my knee (playing football again!) was the worst pain I've ever had. It was horrendous.

And thats without even mentioning the Chinese burns i had in school

 

Playing in a five-a-side comp in my Dads work team in the early 80's. First game, a lad fractures his skull, competition delayed. Second game, lad stubs his foot, falls and cracks his head on floor, taken to hospital for 15 stitches in his head. Game 3 ..... we are on. I get crunched into the corner angle / wall and fall to the ground in agony. Poor ref thinks "fook me, another head injury" and runs over to me. Trying to keep me conscious he grabs both my arms to pull me to my feet. Trouble is, mine wasn't a head injury, I had clean fractured my wrist and he nearly pulled me fecking hand off.

That smarted a bit ..... from memory.

 

Meningitis c that's the worst pain I've had

 

In my first job over 20 odd years ago i fell on some gravel and took two finger nails clean off.

 

Snapped banjo string.

 

Agree with the Banjo string

Also the Brolly down the Japs is quite unpleasant too

 

Re: Agree with the Banjo string

while playin sunday league footy many years ago with no one around me i set off runnin and my big toe bent completely underneath my foot with my boots still on, now that hurt, ended up that i had broken 3 of the little bones in the foot, although at the time the manager asked me if i could run it off lol

 

Easy.

Getting blown by a bird who uses her teeth along the bell.
Not good.

Oh - and I had both my legs bitten off by a great white shark, whilst I was in a bath of sulphuric acid at the same time as a dwarf was sticking a red hot poker into my bum grapes.

 

i once ****ed in r'lass's make up bag....jeez did that accident hurt the next day!

 

Re: Agree with the Banjo string

Yep had that missen and it was not nice in fact it hurt like chuff.

 

Toothache.
Motorbike accident, broke both arms, and damaged my kneecap.
Getting a pole straight through my hand while I was in the army and the subsequent stitches.
Chipped an ankle bone.
Brolly down japs eye and the scrape back up.

Not in that order but all extremely painful. Bring a tear to my just thinking about them.

 

Re: Agree with the Banjo string

oh ar..
wow. makes me wince to think about it. its only for a couple of seconds like but jeez.. its just wrong, on many levels!

 

Re: Agree with the Banjo string

Ruptured Achilles tendon, hurts like bloody hell , broken ankle, well 8 breaks in the bones surrounding the ankle- again hurts like bloody hell,dislocated shoulder , hurts even more than bloody hell!!!!!
Worst one probably was having my hand stitched up without anesthetic, 12 stitches , now that really did HURT!!!!!!
