So much horrible pain here!
Toothache with added infection is awful. The night before a birthday a nagging bit of pain went nuclear and I was up all night crying and longing for morning when I could give myself the birthday present of having it out. The relief was enormous.
Migraines so bad that I passed out.
Broken shoulder. I also felt sick because I heard the bone crack.
Worst though was when I had a rather massive brain haemorrhage. I'd had a blinding headache for a week, seen my doctor who thought it was a viral infection that had followed pneumonia - which I'd just had - and gave me codeine, which wasn't really touching it, but I carried on trying to deal with it. It was awful, but didn't make me want to die. Then everything went tits up, I was having seizures and a paramedic must have injected me with whatever in the chest, like Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction. When I cam round I thought he'd punched me in the chest but didn't like to say anything. I was not right in the head at this point, gibbering nonsense and blah. Taken to A&E, don't remember much about it, had a CT scan which I don't remember and was diagnosed with a brain tumour, which I also don't remember, but what I do remember is that the pain went from awful to so bad that all I could do was curl up and say and do nothing at all. At that point I "knew" I was dying and I didn't mind at all, because it was not possible to be in that much pain and not die. Morphine didn't properly touch it, but touched it a bit. For the next five days it was assumed that I had a brain tumour that was terminal, but what I actually had was a great big black circle of dead brain tissue, which was not terminal.
The good thing to come out of it was to know that I was no longer scared of dying. I'd "faced it" and was totally sanguine about the whole thing. To be fair I was also not right in the head, but even now that I am more or less right in the head, I don't fear it anymore. Which is grand!
