Do you have a high pain tolerance?

[WhiteSteve]

So I took a pretty nasty spill in a pickup game about ten days ago. Caught a rut in the ice mid-turnaround, went ass over teakettle into the boards fairly hard and very awkwardly…

This is what peak athletic performance looks like

Tried to carry on as usual for a week with hockey and the gym, but my back is in a ton of pain. It’s ok most of the time but certain movements can drop me to a knee. Finally admitted to myself that this is likely a spine injury and not just muscular, went and got X-rays this afternoon.

The doctor or nurse practitioner or whatever she was said some of the vertebrae look kind of squished together (SUPER, lmfao) and that there are definite signs of trauma, swelling, etc. But nothing looks broken, fortunately. Said to take some time off from hockey, and follow up with a chiropractor.

Buuuuuutttttttttt, it’s the playoffs, lmao, so I played tonight. I warned the fellas ahead of time, and said to pull me if I was too much of a liability out there. I looked gimpy as hell, and my back was for sure hurting, but I managed to play alright.

Proud to report that I managed to score what would end up being the game-winning goal…. and then immediately tried to stand up straight to celebrate and also immediately remembered I couldn’t, lmao.

Fought through the pain enough to do my signature celly😂

And one of my teammates hit me with a “That’ll do, Steve. That’ll do.”😝

Also still got to fulfill my usual enforcement duties a bit…

Honestly, a medium-strength push to my left shoulder could’ve sent me to the ice as easily as a clean uppercut lmao

Are you able to power through pain? I’m gonna guess the moms out there know what’s up in that department😝 Y’all some G’s🫡 Tell me what you’re about…. but I’ll have to check back in the morning, I’m about to lean out on some muscle relaxers they gave me, lmfao😵‍💫

[NathanDavis]

I know I have a high pain tolerance... because I did tolerate and endured pain stupidly

when I was late tens, I did strain my back, well my spine, really bad... trying to move heavy furniture by myself so I did lift it and then lost balance of it, I didn't want to mess up the crystal so I held with super stupid strength... saved the furniture but in turn, really messed up my back... it was nerve damage because of strained discs or something like that, lol

I'm sure you know how G. I. Joes do have a little rubber band that sort of keeps them together, well... for a full week I felt like I was a G. I. Joe with that rubber band snapped and gone, and I just could not hold myself together at all lmao... stand, sit, lie down... move anything, all hurt like hell... I'm sure you've taken an ice bath before, so every time I moved, same feeling, thousands of needles all over your body, every nerve was screaming to my stupidity and stubbornness, unbearable pain every time I moved or did something, I of course spend hours and hours not moving at all... till it was time to do the minimum again just to crawl to the bathroom or eat something

I didn't tell anyone in my family, I didn't see no doctor, I didn't take any single pain killer, I just endured and tolerated stupid pain... but, the only reason why I did tolerate such pain was because I was depressed and in my mind, I either didn't care... or I though, guess I deserve this pain... so whatever, yeah... my soul was going through a bigger pain so I just kind of ignored the fact that the physical pain was killing me, anyway...

after a week of just not moving and then doing some sort of lower back massage and rub on myself, I finally was able to move and to stand and slowly but surely move around, took me about two more months of some serious pain to recover, and again... no doctors, no painkillers, just enduring some serious pain on my lower back, guess I got very lucky that somehow, whatever I strained... did heal over time, with just that massaging and of course a whole lot of rest or very light work

even crying hurt, because sobbing requires some muscles, lmao... that was hell

so, I would say... don't push it, don't force... and just get some rest, get a professional and heal that thing, whatever it is... don't step into hell and endure true hell, is not worth it lol

[WhiteSteve]

Nah, I’m for sure stupid for this, lmao. Trying to just eke out a couple more games out. I had opponents asking if I was ok, one even said he felt bad to even try to touch me, haha, but I told him do his thing, I’m out there at my own risk.

GI Joe rubber band still intact so far. Sounds like you did a number on yourself. Haven’t had to cry during this, but coughing hasn’t been fun, and even inhaling/exhaling is painful at a certain lean if I’m sitting.

Just gonna chill for a week and hope it improves with treatment and steroids. If it starts getting worse and might threaten the summer season, I’m out, but I needed to tough at least one game out for the squad.

[Phoenix98]

I'd like to think so from what I can remember I'm probably missing a few things but.

I've been kicked in the groin more times then I can count

I've had staples put into my head to keep it together

Had 2 concussions

Hit my head hard enough on drag legs, pointed parts of bins and a rusty pipe hard enough to get really bad deep gashes that spurted blood for like 10 minutes and probably left permeant scars on several occasions.

I've been punched, kicked, elbowed, knee'd and thrown everyway and in every place you can think of

Been shot in the head with a paintball gun and in the knuckles.

Shot in the forehead with an airgun at point blank range

Almost had my nose broken during a sparring match, went right back to it after I stopped the bleeding since I didn't want to cover the floor in blood.

Been punched in the face and a piece of cartilage popped out of my nose but was still attached to my nose so I had to hold my nose and yank it out because I couldn't put it back in and then I reset my nose then right back to sparring.

Permeant scar by my left eye from hot oil that almost took my eyesight. Which hurt quite a bit but I just went back to cooking after I made sure my eye was alright.

Literally have trained till my knuckles have bleed and scarred

Did some stupid stuff in high school and hit the back of my head so hard my chin split open.

Got my finger caught in a machine and almost had my finger ripped off when I was a machinist

Have had chemical burns on my hands at least 2-3 times when I was a machinist from my gloves coming off while I had my hands in vats of industrial grade chemicals.

Almost broke my ankle from skateboarding when I tried to do a kick flip and instead kicked the board just the right way to where the trucks hit my ankle and made that thing swell up to like the size of an apple.

Thrown off my bike when I was riding fast and the chain broke and it threw me like 3 feet in front of my bike.

Had my ribs move and every time I took even the slightest breath my lungs would expand into my rib bone I was pretty much confined to a chair for a month.

Almost broke my leg falling down a flight of stairs.

Been bitten by a squirrel

Got mad and punched the door of a bin I was in that I was cleaning because the wind kept closing it and what I hit was not the door but a rusty nail.

One time I had a bucket full of tools maybe 10-15 feet above me that was being lowered down by rope have the rope snap and the bucket and tools fell right on to me and fucked my shoulder and forearm up.

Slipped inside of a bin which had a cone shaped bottom and I fell and landed right on a small metal pipe that almost sodomized me but thankfully just hit my tailbone hurt like a motherfucker.

Fucked my back up on several occasions shoveling between 2,500 to maybe 8,000 pounds of grain with a shovel.

Was doing a particularly hard day of labor at a plant in another city and I went to lift a bucket of wet seed up and I heard a snap in my back and felt my entire body just go limp from my back all the way to my toes for a moment. But regained enough strength to lower the bucket down instead of just sitting down I switched with one of the guys and shoveled seed and pushed it with a broom and pushed buckets around, that one hurt pretty bad was at home for like a week or two with that one.

And I think my worst reaction to any of it was just screaming curses and kicking shit and pretty much all the cases except the concussions and that one time with the back injury I just went back to whatever I was doing after I got patched up or gave myself a minute for the bleeding to be dealt with.

So I'd like to think my pain tolerance is at least above average. Doing a lot of the stuff I've done your kind of just expected to fight through it unless it's actually serious.

[WhiteSteve]

Oh yeah, you’re on that manual labor grind, that’s treacherous work. If you get offered to move up to a supervisory role, TAKE IT, lmao, you don’t want to be building pallets when you’re 55.

[Phoenix98]

Been doing it since I was 8 years old I didn't have chores I had a job cleaning rotten food and toxic mold out of appliances and doing minor repairs on the weekends.

I couldn't take a desk job even if tried at this point dude, I don't know if you've ever held a manual labor position for years before. But it changes and conditions your body to where you can't sit still for very long because you are constantly running around, moving and doing stuff so much that it feels unnatural to your body. Even at home I have to get up and move around quite frequently, go on a drive or do something. Because it feels unnatural not to.

Also there is no supervisor position at my job everyone who works the warehouse is more or less expected to learn the necessarily skills to be able to work completely alone at any warehouse we have and even run it for a bit if need be.

The only "supervisory" role there is would be the plant manager who runs every single plant in our area that we all travel to and work out during various times of the year. And I don't want his job I couldn't take it even if I wanted it you have to have a certain kind of certification, qualifications, experience and schooling for it.

Those kinds of roles are sorta different in the agricultural world.

[Phoenix98]

Also I don't build pallets.

What I do is ( and I'm only listing all this because context matters when talking about jobs and what you actually do vs what people think you do )

Stack 2500lb pallets of bagged seed on average I lift and move about 8,000lb to 12,000lb and that's if I'm not shoveling up messes on top of that.

Augur and clean out grain bins

Load and unload grain in and out of semi trucks

Run forklifts

Load customers

Repair pallets ( on slow days )

Refill empty internal bins that are inside the warehouses

Do maintenance of machines and parts

Repairs on machines and parts

Inspections on equipment

Jerry rig lots of stuff and building things.

Bin maintenance and repairs such as ripping out floors and putting new ones in or repairing damaged ones.

Field work like dissembling agricultural equipment for to sell for scrap or walking fields during harvest time to check and make sure nothing is growing in our fields that shouldn't be which requires me to know what different sorts of crops, weeds and the like look like. Marking stuff off, etc.

sanding down/scrapping off old paint from safety lines, safety posts, guardrails and repainting them, painting buildings as well, and marking off, measuring aisle lines for our entire warehouse floors.

[Phoenix98]

maintenance and repair on grain legs, replacing buckets, bucket belts, cleaning em out, greasing barring's and motors.

Tearing apart entire mills, taking out and replacing screens, ball trays, maintenance, replacing hooks, crawling around inside of them with a scraper cleaning em. Clean gunk off our screens with a grinder with a wirebrush attachment.

yard work, cleaning up garbage, weed eating, mowing, cleaning out and spraying pesticide and poison.

To some degree operating tractors and setting up the big semi truck sized augurs which we have to hook some of them up to tractors, lining them up from up top a bin.

Cleaning out in the hoppers of our semi trucks, getting all the seed out, I do the same thing with our dump trucks as well.

Clean entire office spaces, bathrooms, toilets, sinks.

Sweeping entire warehouses

Cleaning out boot pits some of which are fairly deep underground, blowing down mills, entire warehouses, cleaning entire entire floors ( like 1st floor, 2nd floor )

removing animal corpses from the property or that get stuck in bins or legs.

Using pretty much every hand tool you know of and a few you don't as well as power tools, grinders, impacts, drills, air guns, for example for a wide variety of work.

caulking holes, sealing bins, etc.

And that's not even the full list of the all the things that I do at my job and I still have more to learn and more skills to acquire like learning how to use a skid steer or a driving a tractor. It's a pretty valuable place to work at when it comes to acquiring sought after skills and experience. Especially forklift licenses because a lot of warehouse or labor jobs will start you out with higher pay for simply having one.

[WhiteSteve]

Damn, bro….. hardest working man on GAG until I hear otherwise🫡🥇

[Phoenix98]

Nah a lot of that kind of stuff I listed is pretty common for warehouse/labor jobs anyone who works in similar fields can contest. Same for grain elevators and a lot of that isn't everyday stuff it's more like weekly, seasonal, etc except for the stacking pallets of bagged seed and some of the cleaning which is everyday stuff.

[beebella]

Luckily, I've managed to not break any bones or really tear anything in my body, so far. I also haven't given birth yet, so I don't know what any of that feels like, but most of the pain I've been through has been tolerable. Sharp pain, like when I occasionally get period cramps (sorry if that's tmi) or random knee pain can be a little less tolerable for me, but I don't usually like to take anything for pain unless it's preventing me from doing things.

Take it easy on that back, Steve. You're not a spring chicken anymore. 😛

[WhiteSteve]

It’s all good, I’m an adult man, I can handle hearing about cramps and other lady stuff😜 I’m the same way about pain meds, especially when they give me opioids. That just seems like a concert I don’t want tickets too🚫

Will do, but I’m still young! I’m only *cough, cough* f *cough* o *cough* r *cough* t*cough* y *cough, cough* -five years old😬

[beebella]

I was prescribed Vicodin once and I HATED it, but I kept taking it because I had an insomnia problem at the time and it knocked me out every time. So, I would only take it when I wanted to fall asleep. 😂

You're right. 45 is the new 25, I guess. 😜

[WhiteSteve]

Speak it into existence!😂😂😂

[electromagnetic]

Ouch. Sounds like you took a nasty one. I hope you’re alright. My little brother plays hockey and he’s come home with a new wounds from bashing into someone else.
I have a pretty high pain tolerance but I think it’s more for needles and organs. I sprained my ankle couple months back and it look me out for weeks. I was ready to just request to have the damn thing broken just so I can start fresh. I’m sprained the same ankle maybe 4 times now, and it gets worse with every accident.

[WhiteSteve]

Yeah, hockey is definitely more of an “when, not if” thing when it comes to injuries. We’re all dumb for playing it😂

Gotta get you a titanium ankle or something, go bionic on ‘em😝

[electromagnetic]

I am not apposed, I just need to find a doc willing. 😆

[Apple1996]

Yes I broke my foot last year and continued to walk on it for 2 weeks before going to the hospital. I had given birth a few months before so honestly a broken foot felt like nothing in comparison

[WhiteSteve]

Lmao, I knew the ladies were gonna win this one😂🫡

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I have a duality there where I can power through a lot of things and summon an adrenaline rush to help me block out the pain.

I once won a vert skateboarding contest when I was a teen after fracturing my humerus hanging up on a frontside air, e. g. I got back up and kind of used anger and adrenaline to block out the pain and did my subsequent runs. Also drove myself home despite the broken arm.

However, when that kind of "berserk" rage and adrenaline starts wearing off, I really start wanting to turn into a baby and just whimper in fetal position. I did that after when I got home after the skateboarding contest to the point where I ended up going to the doctor the next day to treat the broken arm since I couldn't stand the pain.

So I have a weak tolerance for chronic pain that lasts. I can power through the more immediate types with a "berserk" type of rage and adrenaline which lets me block out the pain temporarily to accomplish something.

Another way to put it is that I deal with pain through action and movement: "walk it off". Yet when I can't even walk and I'm bedridden and out of all my strength and energy, I really don't like being in pain. I hate it. I haven't found a way to block it off in those cases.

[WhiteSteve]

Totally know what you mean, when I get an injury aggravated mid-game I let out a loud growl and just start flying around like a madman, usually abandoning strategy and awareness😂

Sounds like it takes a lot to tap you out, man, even if you hate the pain after the fact.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Cheers and likewise! 🤝 Hockey sounds and looks so intense and badass to me!

On the kind of berserk aggression-adrenaline thing, it always helped me in sports to block out pain and go the distance when my body is screaming at me to stop.

That's something all skaters usually need to get the hang of to some degree or another or else we'll generally want to tap out after our first hard slam and never try the trick again. Street skaters tend to have it even worse than us vert skaters since they don't wear any pads and often do things like fall on their balls on a handrail. It hurts me just looking at their falls.
https://youtu.be/gg1au6geYvA

With us vert skaters, we don't take the hardest slams all that often in spite of falling from much greater heights, since the transition of the half pipe usually catches us and lets us slide to the flat bottom and we usually learn to fall and slide on our knee pads.
www.youtube.com/shorts/hc-7oEhSsPw?feature=share

Where things get often dicey on vert is when we do airs too far out, we end up landing on the flat bottom without the transition sliding and easing that fall, like this (he ended up falling 45 feet):
https://youtu.be/1Q3PNj3tRW4

The other is going inwards too much and we hang up on the coping at the top:
https://youtu.be/mtwgitJ6u2Q

I've done both thousands of times but only a standard 12-foot vert ramp, so usually only falling around 2 stories or so, not 4 stories, and usually only resulting in bruises and only rarely fractures.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

On the type of berserk thing, while it was always handy in sports to summon that second wind, it's always been one of my biggest psychological struggles outside of sports. I don't really have anyone or anything that I'm really pissed off about so I direct the adrenaline and anger to just pushing myself that extra mile.

I've heard from normal people that anger is a healthy emotion and that it helps to get angry sometimes. That's absolutely not true for me. I only get uncontrolled bursts of rage there. So I was one of those kids and teenagers doing things like punching walls and a complete hothead with some serious problems dealing with anger in any healthy way.

So I've had to learn to really resist my anger outside of sports. Any time I start getting upset, I gotta do like an internal rewiring of my thoughts since I'm just going to lose any sense of self-discipline and self-control, like an intoxicated rage, if I don't. I have uncontrollable rage so the only cure I've found is to avoid getting truly angry at all and stop it at the level of mild irritation, or else I always end up doing something extremely reckless.

[WhiteSteve]

Dang, I never really thought about there being a difference between vert vs street, but that makes total sense. The ramp landings definitely seem a lot easier to ride out than a cement staircase, lmfao. You skaters are definitely a tough breed.

[jshm2]

Yeah, a few years ago survived pancreatitis, which had a 90% death rate.

Couldn't digest anything or eat for a month either. Basically was on a diet of PCA Morphine, glucose drip and hope.

The morphine didn't touch the sides of the pain most days, and was just making me feel crap and dream of killing. Ended up ditching the morphine and just took Dihydrocodeine instead so that I could at least sleep if not be free of all the pain in the end.

End result is I have a non working spleen, and half working liver and pancreas. Pretty much the only organs worth a fuck in my body are the heart and kidneys.

[WhiteSteve]

Holy fuck, man. You’re tough as hell, bud. Best wishes for good health going forward, man, stay Ford Tough💪

[Starrrboy]

When it comes to short periods of pain , yeah I'm a super tough guy.. broke my arm during a football game and didn't sweat it.. got a bad accident where I took some serious hits to the head , no pain or concussion.. I even got face stitches without any anesthetics ( the amateur doctor forgot and was shocked I didn't say anything lol ).. but when it comes to chronic pain or what people go through after surgeries and stuff.. I fuckin hate that !.. and I'm not used to it ( never had a surgery since I was three y. o )... when I get severe headaches or stomach pain.. it's a living hell and I keep thinking about how bad it feels..

[WhiteSteve]

I hear that, football was my native sport, hockey is my retirement sport, haha. Not a lot of room for softies in football. I remember back in semipro one of our best two-way linemen came out at the end of a game with broken ribs. I’m like “FUCK, that sucks to lose him with playoffs about to start.” I see dude on the sideline the next weekend with his lower pads on, and he’s taping a thigh pad to his ribs. Went out and played four quarters at guard and defensive tackle, absolute animal, haha.

I still have yet to need stitches (knock on wood), but I kind of want to get them done raw to see if I can take it, just to be a hardo, lmao

[Starrrboy]

No it was actually the one for softies.. soccer 😂😂... it has big guys charging at you too , but they have to be clumsy and not very athletic to hurt you lol..

[WhiteSteve]

Lmao, my bad, but I respect soccer. I watched Ted Lasso so I’m trying to get into EPL😂 But those guys get wrecked on some of those slide tackles, I’m surprised there isn’t at least one broken leg per week in the league.

[Starrrboy]

Lol you're right 😅..

[MemeSupreme]

how did you do that with your back in that much pain lol

i got scoliosis and when it's BAD like it's very irritated then fucking just jogging or bending over all the way isn't possible bc of pain. so you playing hockey is insane to me if your back or spine is injured

[WhiteSteve]

I think I might just be HIM🤔 Nah, kidding, but I am a lunatic, so that helps, lmfao.

I tried to jog across a crosswalk this week and it wasn’t happening for me, too much up-down impact. Skating feels smoother, and I can ease the pain if I skate gimpy with my left arm up by my right shoulder if I don’t have the puck. Definitely screamed at one point when I tried to take a slapshot😂 So I’m gonna lay off the back til next Wednesday’s game, I only have so much crazy to power through on, haha

[MemeSupreme]

your poor back must hate you lol he has feelings too you know

[WhiteSteve]

My back is a competitor like me😝 The highest quality thing I always own is my mattress, I treat my back well. We’re just having a tough couple weeks, haha. But I’m cancelling all hockey for the whole week, so I’m hoping I’ll be much better by next Wednesday🤞

[spartan55]

A true warrior! Bad back, no problem!
"Let's get Steve goin"
All you did was give them the White Steve Glare and they wanted none of it. You appeared about 18 inches taller than that one dude. 😂😂
Your spill looked like a sniper took you out. You fell in a heap in a hurry. . Go see what Dr Neckbreaker says fo sho. Take care of that back bud... 🏒👍

[WhiteSteve]

Ahahahahaha, das it, mane!!! It’s the playoffs, I can’t tap out now.

Mannnnn, I felt kinda bad because those two guys are a father and son, and his son that threw the jab at my teammate, I’ve since seen on tape that that teammate of mine high-speed slew-footed the SHIT out of him, I THINK accidentally, but still enough for a response, plus they had already been shoving a bit before. He threw the punch and skated off, ref was right on him. My teammate is one of our best players, so I don’t want him out of the next game for fighting, and at worst, I’d trade an injured (or healthy) me for that guy if only one of us plays in a win-or-go-home. The other kid’s dad is a WILDCAT, lmao, I don’t think anyone in our league has as much dog in him as that guy,, at almost 60, so I respect him. But I wanted to get in there and let him know he wasn’t going to keep the fighting going, the game was in hand, we had under two minutes left, I think, somewhere around there.

And yeah, sniper from the rafters, lmao. Really did myself up good this time😂 Gonna tough out 10 or hopefully 20 more shifts, then go get this thing cracked back into proper alignment, lmfao

[joehypo1]

I do rode motocross many years i have had some pretty nasty spills myself lost my smell and taste in 2001, in 1998 i lost control on interstate hit a poll then off the very edge of bridge and was throw out of my truck and my buddy gave me a ride home i was amped from the wreck could not sleep for 2 days i should have been dead i still ride but i dont mess around with 150 foot doubles anymore cr250 was what i have rode since 1989 damn im old

[WhiteSteve]

You had me at motocross, X-Games spills are just Level 99 shit😂 You’re a tough hombre🫡

[Staximus]

I have the pain tolerance of a dumb animal. Do nothing, take time off work if you can. Sit in a Jacuzzi as often as possible if you have access to one. Don't fuck with your back, you'll be sad. Or put a heating pad under your back for an hour a few times a day. Lay down for a couple days and let your spine decompress.

[WhiteSteve]

Sounds like me, haha. Yeah, I’m going to play this thing kind of safe, other than just getting 20 more shifts on ice over the next two weeks. Laying off it otherwise. Gym is cancelled for the week, just going rest it. Laying down as much as I can. Pain is actually not too bad when I’m not doing crazy shit, it’s in a friendly spot for my posture and movement, thankfully. Got some Prednisone prescribed too, so hopefully that helps.

[Staximus]

Dude, it's just hockey. Your back is in a weak state, don't fuck it up any worse. No hockey

[Staximus]

You don't want to make it go from minor to major back injury

[Staximus]

The hockey league is not going to give you a retirement package

[Iron_Man]

I do I just got out of the hospital with a large blood clot going for my groin to my knee but they said it was acute. I stayed there for three days I have been released from the hospital last night and I’m now on blood thinners pills. I know all about your friend Kriss from GAG and that was a disaster. I felt really bad what happened to her and I never forgot that young mother with kids

[Iron_Man]

I’m glad you’re OK did you win the game?

[WhiteSteve]

Yeah, man, can’t play around with clots. RIP Kris, miss her every day😢 Her oldest is probably about to finish up high school, can’t believe it’s been almost 8 years. She had a good family with a very close sister who lived locally, and the kids’ dad was still in the picture, so I like to think the kids are relatively ok.

Glad to hear you’re out of the hospital, man, being laid up is the worst. Best wishes for good health going forward, brotha🙏

[WhiteSteve]

We won! My goal ended up being the game-winner. We’re on to the semifinals next Wednesday night. I think we can win. The team we’ll see in the championship is going to be a tough out though, I don’t have my hopes up, but I always believe, haha

[Iron_Man]

Yes that’s extremely sad. Here’s to Chris. May God bless her always ✝️

[Iron_Man]

I got a real scare there. I’m OK it’s acute they labeled it. Not chronic. I’m gonna take it easy for a couple days I was told to walk anyway it would be good for the swelling on the leg. Congratulations on your victory and you got the game scoring goal. Great that’s awesome to hear and I wish you the best of luck in the future playoffs 👍

[WhiteSteve]

Thanks so much, man🙏

Good luck to you too. I guess in this case you technically should “walk it off”, doctor’s orders, haha

[Iron_Man]

Exactly I plan to do that my friend. Thank you. 👍🏻

[Wiredone]

Yes I can tolerate a lot of pain. Right now my Right wrist has a pinched nerve. It's been going on for 2 months. Every time I move it it's like someone is stabbing my wrist and twisting the knife.

About 10 years ago I stepped on the forks of a metal rake that had a solid metal handle. It came up and smacked me in the head. I ended up getting a concussion and started throwing up but I continued to work. Man that was a really bad headache.

[WhiteSteve]

OOF. You take a lickin’ and keep on tickin’ 💪

[Wiredone]

I don't let pain stop me. I finished my basement when I had a torn rotator cuff. I was out on disability waiting for my surgery to be approved

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Absolutely not. If I have any pain tolerance, it is very little next to zero tolerance. If I say ouch just from being poked or pinched, it's obvious I'd be in agony with anything bigger. Even paper cuts hurt terribly.

[WhiteSteve]

To be fair…. paper cuts are pretty painful😝

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Cardboard cuts are even worse and then next up is shattered glass cuts. 🩹

[AngryCarl]

You're crazy Steve. Your body needs time to heal, another big hit and your spine could snap like a rotten twig. Remember what happened to that other player. I don't remember his name but you probably do.

[WhiteSteve]

I’m for sure a crazy fuck by most accounts, lmao. Cutting the hockey down by a lot, just pretending I played yesterday before the doctor and not after, so I’m in the same spot I’d be either way. Got a full week to lay off it, no hockey, no gym. Also was prescribed a steroid, so that should hopefully help with inflammation, etc. I’ll definitely be careful though👍

[KittygosMeoWW]

Yes my stitches ripped after I gave birth (first time using the potty) and I didn’t know till I went for my 6 week. It hurt but I thought it was normal

[WhiteSteve]

😱😱😱😱😱😱

Stamped and certified G status right there😅💯

[KittygosMeoWW]

Not to mention the stomach pushing after birth didn’t even phase me… I wish they would’ve talked about it though.

[WhiteSteve]

https://i.gifer.com/tNG.gif

[douride2]

My doctors say I have a very high pain tolerance. A doc at emergency once put 8 stitches in my knee then realized they hadn't froze it.

[WhiteSteve]

DANG! You’re an animal, respectfully😝

[exitseven]

I think I do but there are a couple of things that i just cannot stand.

[WhiteSteve]

I hear that. I had a bad pinched nerve in my neck maybe like 6 years ago…. worst pain I’ve ever been in. Was trying not to be dramatic at the triage when I went to urgent care, said my pain was 6/10. Shortly after I turned my neck wrong and just straight up screamed and fell to a knee, and the nurse is like “uhhhhh, I’m gonna say your pain is a ‘10.’”😂

[Pohjolan]

Pretty ok I suppose like I'm fine with micro needling.

However when dragging a broken leg I ate painkillers loke candy.

[WhiteSteve]

Ouch. Broken leg is no joke.

[bananathunder]
