Having a hip replacement and crying for 24 hours because the damn orthopedic surgeon didn't want to give me additional pain meds.
That is bullshit. They tried to not give my husband meds too. I escalated the shit out of that. A few hours later I was driving to the hospital to pick up his prescription.
@loves2learn Honest- I haven't really needed them. I am taking these big industrial strength Tylenol. i am somewhat sore and i am really stiff but i am not in a whole lot of pain. I had two hernias and I was in a lot more pain with that.
@exitseven that is great to hear. He def needed them. I suppose everyone’s experience is different. Good not to take them if you don’t need them. 🥰
@loves2learn Your husband had a piece of bone harvested from another place and grafted it onto his hip. I'm sure it was a much more invasive procedure. I have (I am told) a two inch L shaped scar on , my butt.
Awww. He’s got a 12 inch c-shaped scar on his hip and a 12 inch vertical scar on his lower leg.
When he was swimming as part of recovery people would ask what happened when they saw the lower scar (the upper one hidden by trunks of course) he would say hip surgery and they were always so confused. “But the injury is on your lower leg.” 🤣
@loves2learn Yeah, I bet it was painful. My uncle had a heart bypass and they took a piece of vein out of his leg and grafted it on his heart. He said his leg hurt way more than his chest.
I had hip dysplasia and after 3 hip surgeries in 2.5 years I had no other choice but to have it replaced. It took me a good year to recover and to adjust to have a artificial joint in my body. I also have a rare genetic connective tissue disease called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome so my recovery would be much different than someone who doesn't have EDS. While it totally addressed my groin and buttock pain my hip replacement does flop in the joint socket. That in and of itself is unnerving until I got used to it. That is a byproduct of having EDS because my muscles are super lax and stretchy. Wish you a speedy recovery.
@morpheus_12 EDS and hip dysplasia go hand in hand. I’m sorry you’ve had to go through that pain. I hope you are feeling better.
@morpheus_12. You should sue that fucker. I went through something similar when I had rotator cuff surgery. Now whenever I have a surgical procedure I have a direct talk with the surgeon about pain management BEFORE the procedure.
@loves2learn Good for you!
@loves2learn He should say "shark bite" ;)
@loves2learn Good for you for coming to your husbands rescue, seriously, good job.
He was in no shape to advocate for himself. Isn’t that what any loving wife would do? I stayed by his side the entire 7 days he was in the hospital sleeping on a flip out chair. Running to get nurses when he needed them. Making sure all his meals were ordered. The staff started ordering extra meals “just in case” and bringing one to me too. We had stellar care. But yes. You have to advocate for your loved ones.
@loves2learn Yes, my wife had me all hooked up with everything before I went in for the surgery and watched them give me the spinal because I was so freaked out about it.
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🤞
Wow 😳 I hope the rest of your recovery will be less painful tc✌️
@PaynefulPleasures Thanks! I’m ok now, it was in August of ‘19, but it wasn’t really all the way back until last summer. Lesson to be learned: don’t sneeze with your head turned, haha
Yikes 😬 I'll avoid sneezing turned & stay straight good advice ty ✌️
That Texas shirt is cool.
@NikolaiIvanov thanks, man. It’s actually an old Willie Nelson concert t-shirt from the early 80s that I saw a picture of, screenshotted, and had custom made (had to do some editing to get the outlines right and clean it up, get the colors uniform and not splotchy). Now they seem to have started selling it again, but I haven’t seen it in white, but only did a quick search.
www.officialbandshirts.com/.../
Oh yes he was in the highwaymen right. I discovered country songs from GTA and farcry.
https://youtu.be/aFkcAH-m9W0
@NikolaiIvanov Same, I don’t really like country music, but I got so used to the country station on GTA: San Andreas that I can at least tolerate it now. But Willie Nelson for some reason, I think he’s great. I actually saw him three years ago, I was in the standing room section up front and only had one person in front of me. Crazy to be so close to an icon.
@NikolaiIvanov and of course I was wearing that shirt😎👍
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.
@MarkyMark77 I did, thank you. All good now, that was in 2017.
@MarkyMark77 All good, message me anytime.
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
You should try it sometime
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
@PupperGirl. Stop. This is not "pain".
@KrakenAttackin Please shut up
This thread is about physical pain, not crying over not getting enough "likes".
Birthing my almost nine pound daughter with zero pain meds. Definitely won’t do it again.
Lmfao my medal is two health kids and that’s all I want (:
i have had so many painful injuries.
the worse 1 was when i had surgery and didn't have any pain relief.
oh, is this physical or emotionally?
well, I can understand that so much, so I will pass on my emotional pain. It still is a good question, though. you are curious.
no... scratch everything i said here. the worse pain i heard was months ago and i am so confused, am emotionally drowning
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.
*Not the coolant reservoir the radiator cap.
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.
Getting t-boned in a car accident. My back was killing me and I have a high pain tolerance. I thought it was cracked.
Some old fool raced out of a nearby construction zone as I was turning & struck the rear of my vehicle in a t-bone. Spun it around 180 degrees and sent it flying off the road. Damn lucky it was just the trunk he hit as had he hit the vehicle he likely would've killed me.
Most painful short term would be a hit in nuts… That’s extreme debilitating pain, but it doesn’t last long. Most painful long term was a bad case of road rash from just under my nipples all the way down my abdomen across the entire width of the front of my body to bellow my belly button. It was 24 hours of pain with every breath or movement for several weeks. I just slathered my body in neosporin and layed around for two or three weeks trying not to move and I held my breath a lot...
After that, maybe slipped disc. In general that doesn’t hurt when you are just sitting around in a comfortable chair or laying down, but you have to crawl on your hands and knees to the toilet and then lift yourself up to take a dump or crawl to the kitchen and then lift your entire body with your arms and then hold yourself up on one arm to cook yourself a meal and shit like that. It’s not fun, but it’s not that painful… Broken bones are nothing, I can barely even feel that. You know it’s broken, you lose mobility, it swells up, but the pain isn’t really there.
Kidney stone. Twice.
That's no exceptions including a broken arm as a teenager and broken ribs after CPR last year. I'd go through those again rather than another kidney stone.
My wife cheating on me almost made me jump off a bridge for a moment.
Thankfully I'm over that stuff and on to a better life now.
It's okay, it's been years and I can honestly laugh about now.
Not with her, I usually pretend she never existed, but with buddies.
I just say "Ah, sluts, what are you gonna do?"
They've all been through it too.
@7771999
Thanks, it was a shocking and mentally painful experience. Worse than I ever imagined, but it definitely teaches you lessons.
Probably being kicked square in the balls. Nothing really quite compares to the feeling of your balls going into your stomach and you almost passing out and throwing up from so much pain.
It'd that or when my rib popped out of place and jabbed into my lungs whenever I took a breath, it was also extremely painful every breath no matter how shallow felt like someone driving a knife into my lungs. I couldn't bend over hell I could barely lift my arms or even more around.
Car accident. Dislocated my right side of my ribcage (tearing the connective tissue) from my spine, slipped a disk, broke my wrist, whiplash and broken foot, all at once...
Felt pretty good! Took about two years of pt before I was able to do a whole lot of this and that
Not too much, never broken bones.
Had a root canal on a front tooth a few year ago, you're was a pain with that, they were using a hot probe to melt a polymer to seal around the hole, I felt it a lot.
As a child, around 11, I tore my ankle ligament off my ankle, which was pretty bad. It has left me with slightly weak ligaments so have sprained that ankle a number of time to different extents, hate doing that.
A particularly nasty bout of food poisoning. Not your average run of the mill food poisoning, but this one had my throat swollen so I couldn't eat nor drink for days. I had a pain in my stomach which was the worst I ever felt... and I've been stabbed.
waking up in the middle of my hip replacement surgery without any pain medication and for many hours afterwards was unaware that I was unable to receive any opiate pain medication so I had to just tough it out until getting moved to the ICU and put on A ketamine drip that was hours of mind-bending, , exhausting pain that words Cannot bega to do justice
I just had a new hip a couple of weeks ago. I really did not experience a lot of pain and after a day or two I was in less pain than I was before the surgery.
I ma 50 and I guess I ended up needing a new hip due to running too many marathons. What did you do to end up needing one at 31?
A failed epidural. On top of labor pains the anesthesiologist stuck the epidural in the wrong place and cause a terrible shooting pain down my left leg. I lost it.
They did do a second try. It partially took in a good way. I could still move my left side, but had no pain. I enjoyed not being completely paralyzed.
When they took me in for my csection they pumped me full of meds to completely paralyze me.
Yes. All of it. I wasn’t out.
My oldest peed everywhere too! They said that was a good sign!
Sure does!
probably the worst pains i have are at the dentists place. but overall i would say i never experienced a pain above 6 or "maybe" 7. and i did have torn ligaments, sprained ankles, broken bones and a surgery that left me with an open, slowly healing wound for a few months.
I'm usually ok with pain.. I got stitches without Anesthesia and I took really big bumps like a champ but the worst pain I have ever experienced is when I have stomach pain ( i have problems with digestion and colon ).. Every few months I get that unbelievable pain that I feel like literally my abdominal area is stretching and going to explode... You won't believe how painful it is, sometimes I'm about to pass out from the pain
When I broke my arm in a gold medal fight and still continued to fight 2 minutes something seconds and ended up winning by 1 point
Last summer when I tore the meniscus in my left knee. I opted to not have surgery and without painkillers. Talk about a month of getting 3 hours of sleep, whew! It was extremely rough. The only time I could get relief is when I stood up and put a little pressure on it.
Sciatic pain. I did some squats one evening and I felt a twinge in my hip area. Thought nothing of it but the next day I woke up with the most intense pain in my hip and leg. Nothing I could do to get comfortable with it. Whatever way I lay it was just constant. It was that bad, if I'd had a gun I probably would have shot myself.
A large cavity in my wisdom tooth. It would wake me up in the middle of the night, give me goosebumps, headaches, chills and I was ready to rip it out myself. I started to call off work because it was getting too bad. I felt more relief getting it pulled. The oral surgeon told me the nerve was exposed, which is why it was so painful.
I broke my leg in 7 places that hurt a lot. Years later that same leg got blood clots it hurt too. Imagine putting a rubber band around your leg and not taking it off. During that stage my big toe got mersa in it. They operated on it. At one point they had to take a scalpel and cut the infection away till they reached flesh.. Its called debried. After everything I've been through I think that was the worst
Something like this. Too bad I can't find this in youtube anymore.
https://www.reddit.com/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid/comments/a5g776/billy_jean_is_not_my_lover/
Having my appendix implode. I got stabbed, not shit, having an organ full of poison implode while inside your body, THATS hell, I passed out less then 10 seconds into an adrenaline rage of literal retard strength. I don't wish that on any soul. Except one
Lets see, I've broken my right arm with a compound fracture, it was weak sauce. I've had a nerve block done for a surgery, it was weird but didn't hurt hurt. Just felt awfully weird. I've had several other injuries, but the one that felt the worst, I was nerve told what it was, but I was moving my right arm and it sent me into pure misery. The pain shot up my right arm, all the way to the bottom of my neck on the back side. I hope it never happens again.
I was riding on a dirt bike, and I put both legs on one side, riding lady. I stopped and the bike went the wrong way and the pedal came up and hit me in my crotch. Cut me open, there was blood everywhere. Holes in my pants and underwear.
I had a papercut on my finger. That wasn't the worst bit though. I rubbed it with salt and then stuck it in vinegar. Then I put my finger in a pencil sharpener and twisted it until I was up to the knuckle. Then I put my head in the blender.
The worse pain I've ever had was 3 broken ribs at one time. That shit kills you. Every movement, sneeze, laugh, cough hurts like hell
I have a very high pain tolerance but my super painful periods take the first place followed by breaking my foot a few years ago.
It's tied between having a medical condition that causes headaches so bad it feels like I have a tumor, and that one time our huge tv from 1999 tipped over and crushed my foot when I was 13.
Is it trigeminal neuralgia?
@yuviii2012 its pseudotumor ceribri
Yup I've hear of it... It worse than that... Hope u get fine soon😊
The worst pain I ever felt was losing my husband December 2018
Ty some days are better than others ✌️
Ty ✌️
Physical pain?
Toss up between period cramps and the migraines that put me in the hospital.
They were better but the last few months they've increased again
I don't have to think twice. The worst was four days of head pain from an acute subdural hematoma. I was crying and screaming as I swore my head was imploding.
I broke two ribs once, that was the worst pain I’ve ever experienced.
Getting a concussion while playing high school football while also breaking my femur bone at the same time, ironically the femur is the hardest bone in your body.
When I burnt my thumb. Bruh I was in unbearable pain for at least two weeks. The test wouldn’t fade away for the first few days either.
Wow that's gnarly man!
Mine would probably be I was cleaning out my gutters and fell off my roof onto my deck. I only sprained my back. But it was such a deep sprained I struggled to get relief for several days.
Probably when I dropped a cement cesspool cover on my big toe , lost the nail later on
Getting stung by a caterpillar. It's way worse than you think.
it sure does
it left his body image on me all white welpy inprint.. cannot walk! there are poisoness catapillars
@7771999 i was walking barefoot, stepped right on it, didn't know what happened, severe pain---yelling out, it like cripples you for a while. i got a huge fever, i should have been taken to hospital. it was damn itchy too. my whole bottom of foot was red except the part of his inprint. after stepping on it, i looked down to see what i had stepped on... it was walking away..
I was suprised i didn't kill him, from stepping on him. after i looked down he was like smaller... then.. little bit later.. he got puffed back out again... ..
to me right when i stepped on it, it felt like i stepped on a a bunch of rusty nails in like a row.., this was in dirt/grass
i was so freaked out... seriously... thats what i thought... i kept saying he is inside my foot.. saying that over and over, ... his hairs are poisoness and that is what poisonis you.
so i had to deal wth it for like a week, awful...
yes... when he puffed out... it was a wide long o one...
One of my friend which is girl jumped on me when I was laying in the grass and her knew went right on my nuts.
Period cramps that make me unable to walk or when I don't realize my knee locked and try to move it.
i can relate
I fell of my bike straight onto my chin somehow when i was 8/9 i think, had to go to the hospital and had a huge plaster thing on my chin for days
Broken ribs last year. Left side, broke two of them and strained my intercostal muscles around the same time. Hurt like hell to breathe.
Nothing is worse then a bad headache, body pain even if they are more intense, is easier to deal with.
If we're talking about physical pain, then for me it would be either falling off a big hill rollerblading or having a car drive over my toes.
