Worst Pain Of Your Life (son of MuFu svt thread)

Holy *!@*& digitalwanderer :)

I hope you dont mind me asking but how did you manage to get half your face ripped off ?!

My parents-in-law lives in Australia for a few years and a friend of theirs was a lumberjack out there. He was walking back down a hill when a tree being dragged my a steel cable became stuck, the hook around the trunk dislodged and came flying back down the hill hitting him in the face. Bag of bolts is the best way to describe the effect.

Heart-attack without a doubt.

Not only do they really, really hurt; but it's a brand-new shiny kind of pain that you've never ever felt before which adds to the novelty/intensity of it along with the whole "am I gonna die?" stuff flashing thru your brain.

Before that it was probably getting half me face ripped off, but the ripping it off bit didn't hurt half as much as the re-assembly/healing bit did.

Idiocy. Me and some buddies decided to drive down to Purdue LaFayette for a party and got really wasted and then decided to drive the 100 miles home, we made it about 85 miles before I crashed.

I pushed a rearview mirror thru the windshield with me right eye at 85mph. My penchant for getting shatter-proof safety lenses in my glasses saved my right eye, but the lense sliced off my right eyelids pretty cleanly and the windshield took off a good bit of my face going thru it.

I had like HUNDREDS of stitches in my face and was bandaged up like the elephant man for about 6 weeks, and I still remember sitting in the doctors office with my Mom when they unwrapped my face and she just started crying looking at me....I looked like a fucking mutant or hollywood extra with my face stitched back together and all deformed and puffy.

Fortunately stuff like that just looks really, REALLY horrible while it's healing and it all healed up fine in under half a year....but for half a year I understood what it was like to be truly repulsive and it's an experience I will never forget.

Oh, all this happened in 1985 btw....if I take my glasses of and try and show you the scars where they put my eyelids back on you might be able to see them. ;) And yes I was driving intoxicated and it was a fucking stupid thing to do that I regret the hell out of and my only consolation is that at least I didn't kill/mame anyone except for me and I got better. I lost my license for a decade and was sentenced to a year in Michigan City...which the judge suspended in lew of probation 2 minutes later, but it was probably two of the longest minutes of my life. (BTW-I do have a valid drivers license again, and I don't drink and drive EVER.)

No, but I sure was for a while...it's one of the reasons I'm so comfortable/secure with my appearances, I know how ugly I was!
 
A tie between getting a 106 degree fever from infected tonsils and having to be placed in a tub full of ice in order to stabilize my temperature to 103, or the two weeks after having my tonsils removed completely.

Me too, it even gets better: I totally trashed me life and bottomed out and ended up living homeless under a bridge.

Boredom and hopelessness are actually a fuckload harder to deal with than any physical pain I've ever experienced....truth.

Which hurt more? The tonsils or the cold of the ice?
 
Smashing into a tree on my bike, hurt my nuts real bad.
Putting my hand on a stove (glowing red), hurt real bad.
Passing a Kidney stone, hurt real bad.

Watching my daughter recover from her tonsillectomy, unbearable. :cry:

Heh, I can hear ya... my face had an encounter with volcanic rocks on a mountain bike tour last year, really sharp cutting stuff... I could stick my tongue out under my lower lip and my whole face was cut, but it didn't really hurt until the docs and nurses started to clean the wounds/stitch it. The moment the really attractive young nurse exclaimed "Madre de dios!" when she first looked at the wounds I knew the visit to the hospital wouldn't be as pleasurable as I had hoped ;)

But the face accident and 2 broken arms and some other sport accidents combined weren't half as bad as hearing the sound that the bones in a friends shins made when he suffered a "spiralbruch" (spiral break? both bones in his left lower leg broke because of too much torsion because he twisted his foot) in his left leg. Every time the leg would be moved just an inch it sounded like someone walking on gravel. My mind instantly formed the image of the guy who gets shot in the knees in the end of "once upon a time in mexico".

I never ever want to suffer something like that :oops:
 
OUCH! :oops:

I've never really had to see my children/wife suffer, but watching them suffer would be the worst ever.

I take that back, I suddenly remember the 28 hours of labor me wife had with the birth of our first child...that SUCKED! :oops:
 
I had a muscle in my lower back pull and go into spasm once when playing hockey and then a few years later when in the gym. That was pretty bad. Guess I've been lucky though - can't think of much else apart from that. Getting SVT is not "painful" in the same kind of way. It's just very, very weird and disconcerting.

I ski quite a bit and the one thing that does give me nightmares (apart from dropping onto a rail with a leg either side) is rupturing my ACL. Of the three people that I know who have done this, two passed out instantly from the pain. :?
 
I really sympathize with Natoma. As I understand it, recovering from a tonsillectomy as an adult is worse than if one is a child. In my daughters case her throat was so sore that she would not even take pain medication (Advil or codeine) for few days. Post-op, over one 78 hour period (days 7-10 IIRC) all she consumed was two glasses of water.
 
Well having my daughter jump on my nuts a week after the chop is probably about as painful as it gets for me. :oops:

Although having a double whammy of influenza and Asthma Attack at the age of five ensured a run in with the after-life. Think I peaked at about 105 before my respiatory system and heart basically said "F**k you we're going on strike"
 
There is one good side to those run ins with the after-life, they give you that absolute confidence about something after this one that no one can take away from ya. :)

By "chop" I'm assuming you mean a vasectomy...was that painful? Did they put you under or did you watch? (I almost got one, but me wife's obstitrician saved me the grief as well as me wife's life a couple of times....I love Dr. Tracy Collins! )
 
Yep, a vasectomy. Well I was awake the whole time, not painful due to the anesthetic but just loads of tugging. It was just merely very uncomfortable for about a week then my 'darling' daughter decided to jump on daddy from the couch (I was lying on the floor at the time), then it REALLY hurt.

Well I figure I already gave the reaper his due so whatever happens in my 'second life' is just a freebie.

Still got a reflection which is a bit disappointing... :cry: :D
 
Woke up one morning with a horrible gut wrenching pain in my stomach.

I almost didn't make it out of bed and was staggering around until I got to the bathroom, the pain was so bad my body was going into shock and my eyes were losing vision.

10 Minutes after, I took a good shit and it was fine, I think I got e-coli or some shit from the day before(ate a particularly tasting good hamburger)
 
Breaking my leg. Well... not breaking it, but trying repeatedly to walk on it because the idiot "snack-counter employee playing Doctor" at the skating rink (when I was young) was sure it wasn't really broken and tried to convince me to walk it off. Was broken in four places. :rolleyes:


No... I take that back. The most painful experience was breaking my arm, not my leg. Well, not the initial break actually, but the subsequent re-break after more than three weeks of healing. Apparently the first doctor (who was fired soon after) thought it didn't need to be set. The second opinion I got three+ weeks later, after realizing that the unbearable pain was a bad sign, was that the 20 degree bend was not acceptable. :rolleyes:

Breaking a bone isn't too bad when you're not expecting it... it just kind of "happens" and then you go "shit, that hurt." But having a doctor take your arm, grip it tightly with two hands, slowly twist his hands in opposite directions really hard and then bending it until it snaps... well, THAT HURTS!
 
tie between a really bad bout of IBS (I went to the emergency room a couple of times, was balled over on the floor in pain. Really wondered if it was a kidney stone or something) and a ski accident in which my leg was twisted around backwards and I ended up with a two inch spiral fracture (was really really lucky that it re-set and didn't puncture the skin as it was a sharp break).

I just remember having my ski boot wrenched off my foot in the ER and nearly passing out from the pain. The next 3 hours after that were pretty fuzzy. They must have put me on some nice pain meds.

I was so hot I couldn't feel the cold from the ice. It was total pain from the fever.
