Having a hip replacement and crying for 24 hours because the damn orthopedic surgeon didn't want to give me additional pain meds.
I was run down by a car. Broke both legs & numerous other bones including a fractured skull.

Having a cortisone injection in my shoulder with a cardiac needle. After about the 4th or 5th advance through the shoulder joint, I passed out from the pain.
I’ve broken a few bones but none of that compared to a couple summers ago when I pinched a nerve in my neck. I’ve pinched neck nerves before too, but this particular one was AWFUL. I had been sleeping on a couch, I woke up, went to turn off the alarm on my phone, which was laying on the top of the back of the couch. I had my back to it, laying on my right side. I tried to reach across myself with my right arm, without sitting up. While I was all twisted up, I sneezed pretty hard, and immediately this sharp pain that felt like a bolt of lightning went down my spine. Ultimately, I needed to go to the emergency room, it was that bad. I had to drive myself there, and I was screaming out loud when I had to try to turn my neck to check for oncoming traffic at stop signs. Any time I aggravated the nerve, it would literally buckle my knees and drop me to the ground. It happened once when the triage nurse was checking me in, and then a few minutes later she asked me to do the 1-10 pain scale thing. I’m trying to be realistic and not dramatic, it’s not like a nail gun shot off into my eye or anything, lmao, so I’m like “I don’t know, maybe like a 6 or 7?” She says “honey, you are what a 10 looks like”😂 New high score, I guess?🤷♂️ Anyway, they couldn’t do much, they just gave me some Percocets, a neck collar, and a note to get off work for a few days. I didn’t end up taking the Percocets, I don’t like to fuck around with pills, so I just G’d through it, but it was real uncomfortable for a week or so, and I feel like it was maybe 9 months to a year before I had full range of neck motion without feeling any kind of twinge. Worst part was the same night I had to go out for drinks with a cousin I hadn’t seen since I was ten years old who was up visiting in my area, and I didn’t want to blow him off. Six Guinnesses took a little bit of the edge off though, lmao. But yeah, I was all jacked up, I hope I never get that kind of injury again🤞
I quite heavily drunk hen the bone on my heel snapped in two, it hurts so uch I just kept going unconscious, waking up immediately felt the pain again and turning lights off-cycle several times before ambulance arrived, thn spent 2 weeks at hospital bed as the swelling went back and forth to a level it was safe to screw whole again. What a strange surgery it was too. They turned off my body from waist down and chiseled, drilled and powertooled the heel bone into a solid one while I was awake, high af, but awake nevertheless. Then in the waking room I was like telling the nurse stuff like " it's not gay if it's your own knob" still pretty... damn... high... from the drugs that administered intravenously by the anesthesiologist..
It all happened some 22 years ago but I have these vivid memories of it all so, it was quit traumatic event overall. Since it's the only memory of those years in my life. And I had broke bones bones before it and after it, including on my face, but nothing has ever taken me to some strange twilight zone cycle I keep passing out from pain...
I was rear-ended by a drunk driver when I was a Sophomore in College. At the time I was driving a Honda Civic with a 5 speed stick, when he hit me the clutch pedal broke my left foot, but the worst was when the airbag went off it protected my head and face, but I got 3 broken ribs. My chest was technicolor for a couple weeks, and I didn't get a good night's sleep for a couple months. If I was up and moving around it was OK, but once I went to bed, every time I moved it was like someone stabbing me in the chest. Not fun, I wouldn't recommend it, but all good now.
Hmmm...
-jamming my lip from the monkey bar at 5 years old
-getting disciplined with the belt, shoe, and hot wheels racing track
-getting stung by Scorpions 🦂 5-6 times in my life
-having a needle jammed into me 10 times in different areas of my body just to find a vain.
-getting septoplasty, not being able to breathe through my nose. Along with a fever from the anesthesia wearing off for 10 days.
-getting jaw surgery and not being able to chew and eat for 2-3 weeks and losing 20 pounds
-and emotionally being lied to and used
I have experienced a lot of pain in my life but a couple weeks ago I had woke up in the middle of the night and both my legs are swollen I couldn't walk I thought they were going to explode and at the same time on another leg something felt like it's bone to bone in my knee the pain was crazy but that's where I learned there is a fine line between pain and pleasure because and no matter what it is in life everything completes the circle as I was laying there in pain I told myself I can't take much more of this and then I told myself I'm at the peak the pain in the moment I accepted that and I relaxed I'll pay my way I imagine that fine line for the pain back to pleasure and for two hours I was pain free
After a really, really bad motorcycle wreck on a side road (a lady turned in front of me) I was in a coma for nearly eight weeks, a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury), after a brachial plexus avulsion with my Right arm it no longer functions and my R femur was broken along with some major road rash on that R knee.
The previous year I blew my motor while practicing for a race at the local motorcycle club. My wreck was on a fiends bike and I didn't have my gear to wear, thankfully I never road fast in town, even on my own bike. It was a bad set of circumstances that led to the wreck; but I survived, despite the cronic pain, GOD blessed me to live and have a wonderful and blessed life.
Hard to say for me honestly. It could that time I got bitten by a spider 14 times in the crevices of my knees (8 bite on one, 6 on the other) and I'm allergic to spider venom... This activated a horrible case of spongiotic dermatitis that covered my body from the knees up. My skin would dry, crack, swell, bleed, the blood would crystalize and then fall off. I ended up having to claw off my own skin several times a day just to bend my joints, including my spine. This went on for 3 months, I did get treated back to normal, but it left scars on my upper arms, my back, my chest, and my knees... Or it could be that time I had every nerve in my body misfiring for about a year and a half straight while having a migraine off the charts for the same amount of time, while having all three forms of insomnia at the same time, while being constipated for that year and a half as well... The nerve event happened a little less than a year and a half after the dermatitis.
Generally don't mind pain but...
I learned there's this phenomenon call a "proctalgia fugax" in which some muscle spasms in your anus randomly or something and it causes intense pain.
It felt like someone shoved a burning coal up my asshole, and it was so bad I just sat on the toilet and at one point I felt like I was going to throw up from the pain, and another instance I almost lost consciousness but barely held on. My life was flashing before my eyes and I legitimately thought I was going to die.
And then it just went away as soon as it arrived.
I was in a car crash (no memory of it), and my jaw was broken in four places. The surgeon imbedded about twenty wavy wires (about 3 CM long) in my gums. When the jaw healed enough, he pulled the wires out, one at a time, using a pair of pliers. The pain had me gripping the chair arms.
Losing my job and getting shat on by the person I loved the most and having my ex come back to me, just to make fun of me. It all happened today I couldn't stop crying, because the list of bad things ain't stopping in my life. I don't want to keep going at this rate it hurts
Birthing my almost nine pound daughter with zero pain meds. Definitely won’t do it again.
i have had so many painful injuries.
the worse 1 was when i had surgery and didn't have any pain relief.
I have something weird with my knee, and I don't know what exactly is wrong with it (neither do doctors), but it feels as if something is catching, resulting in a very painful tightening sensation. It was originally thought to be cramps until it happened one day and my kneecap moved and audibly popped. I have double jointed knees as well, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. Thankfully, it hasn't done this in many years (knock on wood), but I've felt it about to happen and was able to stop it by jolting my leg out of that position. It was absolutely the most PAINFUL thing ever, even more so than splitting the bone in my toe in half.
So you know how the cap on your car's the coolant reservoir has a warning label that says not to remove when the engine is hot?
Yeah this dumbass tried to check my water level when the engine was hot.
So yeah as soon as I twisted the cap it burst like a geyserand splashed hot water all over my hand and forearm.
I had 1st degree burns from my hand to my elbow and 2nd degree burns about the size of a golf ball in the inside of my wrist.
It took like three of four days before I could sleep at night without an ice pack.
I get really bad migraines from time to time due to a benign brain tumor.
I was once woken up to one earlier on in the morning, I went to get my phone really quick to call my work to let them know I wasn't going to make it to work but I ended up on the floor unable to move at all, I temporarily lost vision, my body tensed up so much all the muscles in my body felt like they all got torn, my head hurt so much that I got nauseous and threw up but couldn't move away from it. After I was finally able to move again and see, it hurt too much to move any body part.
Aside from the emotional pain due to death of a family member I have had a few moments of extreme pain. I have had my arm parked on and broken in two places, had my arm broken when a winch failed and began to spin really fast hitting my forearm and have had my feet slip off of the bike pedals... think you can guess what happened then.
But those were nothing compared to the time I didn't see the umbrella stand that had blown over in the wind and hit it so hard with my shin that it lifted off of the ground and slid about a foot. Stand is metal weighing around 25 lbs with sharp corners, one of which left a permanent dent in my shin bone. I may have actually called out for my mommy that time. Have any doubt about how painful that was just try taking anything hard and hitting your shin with it even just lightly.
Waking up in the middle of the night, pulling a muscle. So painful, don't know what to-do in that moment but Indure the pain. Lasted like 20mins. Then there's the pinch sciatica, has to be the worse, because it lasts the longests. Hurts when you stand, hurts when you sit, hurts when I'm driving manual.
Appendicitis.
Felt like the worst case of constipation you can imagine then add in a feeling of something jabbing you in the lungs not fun.
It's not really a sharp pain but it carried on all day.
It would have been after my second hernia surgery. It was very painful.
