Your Most Painful Injury

[Tim]

Some of these are pretty bad with some people luck to be alive.

My worst pain has probably been an infected wisdom tooth. Had to wait 2 days to see a dentist. After he tried to numb it up with the injection it still hurt when he tried to pull it. He sent me home with antibiotics and told me to come back in 3 days. It was this experience that made me in favour of euthanasia. If people have to put up with the pain of terminal disease they should be able to end it.

I broke a hand once in a bike Mt bike crash. Had to ride home and only had the rear brake which is the hand I broke. So it was either use the brake or crash again.

got another. back in High School had a 26 inch treadly with motor cross handle bars and goose neck , had gearing that it would cruise alongside the school bus, with the odd latch on for a free tow.

Anyway with the moto x handlebars made it great for carrying a passenger

After a tow at ~ 60ks shot off down a side street pedalling like a demon down hill towards a bridge, probably

hitting about 80ks come the bottom of the hill.

Because of the passenger on the handle bars, I failed to see the massive pot hole, which was hit at full clip :banghead:

Handle bars complete with the weight of the passengers swung around and hit me fair in the right kidney.

Proceeded to slide approx 20m across the bitumen, getting some pretty major gravel rash on my whole left

hand side. The passengers elbow into the bone.

Woke up in the Doctors surgery. Pissed blood for about a week. Drinking water would generate

excrutiating pain and a sea of red.

Found on later in life that a few beers makes your wee clear

Well in 1991 I had a blood clot on the brain causing a host of problems including vomiting blood and the scull being drilled/cut up etc. Back in those days it was 50/50 so I was lucky to get out of that one alive! Hope no one ever has to go through something like that and eat hospital food for 6 weeks!!!!!

For me the worst is having an 'altercation' with a solid object (read tree) that jumped out in front of me doing close to 60km on an old xt500 dirt bike. Broken arm just below wrist, dislocated the wrist also, looked like a mango between hand and arm, cuts bruises, smashed up right knee, 1/3rd less knee cap now, had to dog tree pieces and bone fragments out, 160 odd internal stitches to re-attach all tendons/ligaments, learning to walk again, not being able to sit on the thunder box without having leg propped up level and with a zimmer splint on. worst part of that was seeing the mrs's looking like I was about to kick the bucket, best easter present ever haha!

dislocated wrist from being tripped whilst in ankle cuffs, hand cuffs and restraining belt training at work.

Also had appendix implode in front of nurses eyes, just before the doctor could remove it during surgery, after having my doctor (RIP Dr Ajam) get me on the bed and just gently put pressure on my stomach, my knees were over my shoulders in a flash! Broken collar bone and fire trail drive to hospital hurts like all hell too!

Talking at work the other night about worst injuries, one of the lads had a chemically sharpened fish hook through the left nut, standing on a break water, old mate fishing next to him pulls back to cast, hook lands between legs, WTF is tha.. yoink... fark!!!! Hook had to be pushed out partially, barbs trimmed off, then pushed back through the nut and goodie bag.

Same bloke was 16 and was on the boat immigrating from the UK, went to change his little brother's nappy, old towel fold up secured with a blunt safety pin, cleaned, changed his bro, folded him up, checked the tackle wasn't in the way, push the pin through, a bit of resistance, push a bit harder, all done, why is he screaming, mum comes back, clobbers him over the head, safety pin has gone through lillte bro's bell end! No wonder he was screaming, bill had visions of little mate going to the urinals and pissing in 3 directions at the same time for the rest of his life! package had folded neatly between folds of nappy not under the folds.

Many other work injuries from, PFO retaining walls, getting CS gassed whilst on the sh*tter (gas mask kept in the toilets now haha ) having a tower trap door fall and pin all 5 digits on a mates left hand and leave him hanging for 25min passed out, rebuilt hand, totally scarred now, broken wrists from falling whilst restrained with cuffs with/without restraining belt on also.

Well mines probaly not as traumatic as some I've read, but, anyways many years ago when I lived in Sydney I had a manicured lawn and garden and used to use a big set of shears (like really large scissors) to trim the edge of the lawn, between it and the garden, as it did the neatest/straightest edging and left no clippings in the garden.

Well one day I was trimming away, the ex was yapping to me, I grabbed a clump of grass and went "snip" and cut the top of my left index finger clean off. Ooooch!!!!

Man it wasn't a lot of skin and flesh, but sh*t it hurt like hell and took weeks to heal (couldn't pick me nose for ages )

And to make it worse, when I did it the ex thought it was a great joke, just stood there laughing at me (no wonder I divorced the b*tch)

[Plugg3r]

For me it would have to be my Achilles heel.. the mental pain was worse knowing id miss the Grant Final the next week... fun..

Havent played since, now about 50kg heavier.

I was walking round the back of a car and hit the tow bar with my shin right on the bone and took a small chunk of flesh with it I have never felt pain like it no one could speak to me till the pain subsided. The pain was worse than giving birth I reckon ...lol

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

I also had this done at 19, and ouch! I couldnt swallow for 3 days, so I had a spit bucket, because even though that was disgusting, and made some of my friends not come visit, it sure beat the hell out of swallowing spit. I woke up at 3am on a Friday morning with my throat bleeding, had to be rushed to hospital to get it checked to make sure I wasnt bleeding too bad, and that hurt even more. Was the worst 10 days of my life.

Aside from that, back pain is pretty bad. When I was younger I slipped exiting my shower, which has a 20cm step around it all, then a door-track runner. I landed right over this and on my lower back - has given my grief for years since and I have scoliosis.

Recently tore a chest muscle from coughin while sick, that's pretty nasty. My chest is in constant pain, and the only way to relieve it while coughing is to bend over and push on my chest, which makes me look like an idiot, but stops the pain.

I shot a nailgun into my foot.

When I was 18 I was driving golf buggy like an idiot. Flat out in reverse then a big hook on the wheel, had been doing this for 12 holes. 13th hole buggy flipped and crushed 3 lower vertebrae. My mate drags me to my feet saying "quick lets get buggy back on wheels before anyone sees it".

The pain was not too bad initially, but in 15 mins was shocking. Went to casualty at hospital waited (seated) 5 hours to be seen, doc pushed aroud area siad you need an x-ray. Results came back doc said I couldn't sit for 6 months (after one month laying down) only stand up or lay down. Having a turd was crippling. All better now luckily.

Also an apprentice at work was using a 9" grinder, in confinded area. The machine grabbed and kicked back. The force broke his jaw, and cheekbone and ground away 2 teeth and large chunk from his forehead. First aid man saw the injury and passed out. He recovered with only a small scar to his forehead.
