Your Most Painful Injury

[Buf-Phoon]

another few to add. I had a squamouus cell carncinoma on my left lower left eye lash. Plastic surgeon removed it under general.

Was ready to go for Xmas beers afterwards as I was feeling ok, missus said NFW.

Anyhoo , wake up next morning , stitches weeping blood and my eye the size of a cricket ball thinking WTF, this hurts.Bad.

Ring plastic surgeon and ask if this is normal.... Response "what do you think we did with your eye ball during surgery"

This happened to a primary school chum,he experienced a discomfort around the eye of his old fella. Further inspection revealed

a large well fed tick blocking any chance of a successful piss Mummy was called, and off to the Doc.It was never spoken of again.

:wacko:

Not cool on the tick thing.

Reminds me of those parasitic fish that swim right up your urine stream if you take a leak in the amazon river or whatever...I hope that's a myth!

Can't say I have had any injurys to go up against anyones here!

I must admit pain I have had that been good is some dental pain!

other than that some f*cker at a party decided to hit me in the nads while I was pissed really ahrd 3 times in a row! been pissed I couldn't defend myself!

*beep* was lucky I got my jimmybar confiscated cause I was gonna wrap it round his head!

I'm at home in bed as I just had my wisdom teeth pulled and all I can say is that has nothing on the pain I've been reading about... In general over the last 10 years of working in the health industry if its a guy with a bad injury it was a motorbike if its a girl it was netball

Nerve pain (most back pain) tops the list for symptomatic pain.

@ black F6 that's heavy and sent a shiver down my spine, as I love riding motocross bikes but always have the danger thoughts at the back of my head.

I had my tonsils out a few years ago, I was 28.

Apparently it is the 2nd most painful operation, the 1st being a historecomy (removing a uterus).

I was off work for 2 weeks and 24hrs after the op, I sneezed. I thought I was going to die, it hurt like nothing I had experienced. They gave me morphine which made me spew up blood everywhere.

I then rejected pain killers and went cold turkey for 4 days until I could swallow soluble panadol. I could not eat anything for over a week as well, then just soup.

Had mine out when I was 4, don't remember it really so idk if that counts for me, nothing to serious so far for me. (phew)

had the usual stacks etc

The worst ever though was getting chicken pox at 32 , after a week of going nuts with it spreading over skin it decided inside my body was a better place to hide , I really can't describe the pain the same thing you see on the skin had covered my lungs , throat , kidneys ,bladder ,stomach and any other sweet spot it could find inside my body .

So cant pee , crap , eat or drink guess what they do for that jam little hoses into near every opening in your body to try and force everything in and out of where it should be (even though semi unconsious half the time I did not let them do this easily)

To make you feel even better they isolate you and assign you 3 medical staff who are scared sh*tless looking at you because they think their going to catch it too.

So 2 weeks after entering hospital start to come around to normality and can't remember half of the past time in hospital , go to move and don't have the strength to lift my head , went in 102kg left 3 weeks later at 68 kg weak as a baby.

Lesson to all don't fk with chicken pox if your an adult . get medical help straight away

I Highsided my Wr400 when I was 15 doing roughly 110km/h, along a track a rode everyday. Used my Left leg and a tree to slow myself down

The result was 3 operations, all the cartilage removed after stitching failed. Most of my hamstring was sliced away and used to replace cruciat and other ligaments, and also hold some of the bones together. My kneecap was in 3 pieces and sitting on my shin too. Also was a 1 1/2 hour drive to the hospital up a country qld road (Rough as f*ck) a few weeks in hospital, 14 weeks total in bed, and 12 months total on crutches :(

Also crashed my KE70 padock basher into a tree a few months ago. Was a sad day, it was I little gem with a 1.3 and 5 speed (someone had put the 5 speed in no idea why)

Had a piece of steel go through my right eye and nearly sever my optic nerve when I was labouring.

Result was 7 x operations to my right eye, detached retina (now re-attached), artificial lens, 8 months off work and 60% permanent loss of vision to my right eye. And I thought I just had a bit of sh1t in my eye and tried to wash it out with water.

2004 - Had ( yeah had ) a Honda CBR292 fireblade... A woman in a 4wd pulled out in front of me and I hit her head on at 80Kph. One testicle the size of a small childs head, and a 1. dislocated wrist, the dislocation wasn't that bad, but because I had broken the other bone in my arm wright near my wrist, this meant that the broken bit of bone was on the outside.

last year I had 12 weeks off work.

I had a Duodenal ulcer (ulcer on the tube between your stomach and bowel) rupture at work. It felt like I swallowed a fishing hook and then tried to digest it. That hurt. what hurt more was it took them 2 days to figure out what the problem was, meanwhile my body was pumping sh*t (literally) in and around my internal organs so my body went septic. They operated and one organ at a time removed them, scrubed them down, drenched them in betadine and wacked them back in when I woke up my gut was still open, as my body had swelled up... needless to say I panicked and they put me back to sleep.

will post pics of my arm when I get home

Broke two of my coccygeal vertabrae and compressed the same with the lower vertabrae starting to overtake the one above it and crushed several discs while compressing the fifth sacral nerve and the sciatic nerve, I then had surgery to have the coccyx removed and the muscles reattached to other locations but could not relieve the pressure on the nerves, also at this stage I could have several smaller fractures in the hip. Been off work for 5 1/2 months and counting... The only saving grace for me is this a work injury so I havn't had to sell my house to survive although it takes them 3 months to organise an x-ray etc etc etc.....
