Stub your toe. Stubbed little toe earlier on the table leg. Of course no shoes or slippers on to cushion the blow. Air very quickly turned blue Blush followed by toe turning a lovely shade of bluey/purple. Nice 9 hour shift later and it is bloody agony.

Bending down to pick something up, at the same time a bamboo stick falls. The result - bamboo stick in eye, much blood, half a tear duct missing.

I know someone who shot themselves in the foot with a 12 bore shotgun!, surgeons did a brill job getting him pieced together again walks with a limp still but the screaming when it happened was something else!.

I have a friend who had malaria and gout at the same time. I was stupid enough to make him laugh, I don't think he's forgiven me.

Justaboy · 09/01/2019 10:19

userschmoozer Made him laugh?, hanging offence that when having a bad Gout attack!!

SpoonBlender · 09/01/2019 10:20

Those (dozens!) of us who have trodden on plugs - was that recently, or earlier in life? I never seem to see plugs lying around waiting to gouge you any more, but in the early 80s they were all over the place (or maybe that was just at my house...)

I jumped off a table onto one, but fortunately almost missed so it just took a chunk out of my heel rather than going straight through my foot.

ApatheticPathetic · 09/01/2019 10:23

Lowering your bum into a bath that your feet told you wasn't too hot... but it's actual lava

Mildmanneredmum · 09/01/2019 10:26

I shouldn't laugh at other people's misfortune. But I am. I have many contributions, but one is bringing my funnybone down sharply on the kitchen work surface. Nothing remotely funny about that pain.

CatnissEverdene · 09/01/2019 10:28

That part of your elbow when you bang in on something.

And I have to say toothache when I needed a root canal. I nearly took an overdose, I was losing my sanity. Horrific.

Standing on a nail and it going right through my foot as a child was up there too. My Dad nearly fainted there was so much blood. Mum had to drive me to A & E while he had a lie down Grin

A sewing machine needle through the end of my finger stung a bit.

pineapplebryanbrown · 09/01/2019 10:30

Why are we doing this to ourselves!!!

Geekster1963 · 09/01/2019 10:32

Nasty reaction to Deep Heat that caused burns in my fingers and palm.

DontCallMeCharlotte · 09/01/2019 10:32

Okay, I've had to stop reading at page 4 as I'm beginning to feel a bit sick but this one really made me laugh Running full pelt across the lawn in the dark in your slippers and stubbing your big toe on a hedgehog.

RottenTomatoes959 · 09/01/2019 10:33

I stubbed my big toe while I had a seriously ingrown toenail.
It was so sore I actually vomited.

LEELULUMPKIN · 09/01/2019 10:34

Playing Hide and seek under a barbed wired fence, forgetting it was there when I ran away. .......... Scars still here.

Shamalamalam · 09/01/2019 10:42

having your 500kg horse standing on your baby toe

Yes!! My DD’s 500kg shod cob stood on my foot in the summer. I was a twat and couldn’t be arsed to change into my boots as I was only nipping up to bring her in, so was only wearing Converse.

She just stood there for ages and looking at me like “what’s up with you?”

My stomach still churn when I think about it

sashh · 09/01/2019 10:43

I'll take gallstone attack in active labour for 500 Dave!

A few years ago I would agree with you, but then I had an ovarian cyst the size of a grapefruit.

Both way more painful than appendicitis and that time I was filling a hot water bottle from a freshly boiled kettle, my back went into spasm, my hand holding the kettle went up and poured hot water over my boobs. I had blisters that looked like a map f the world. I'm quite well endowed so I had to wear a bra, I had to line it with tissue.

A parrot bit me on the eyelid.

sulflower · 09/01/2019 10:47

My eyes are watering a this thread!

Ruptured ovarian cyst

Agreed wholeheartedly, happened to me in my early 20's. Emergency surgery, 5 units of blood and two weeks in hospital. Was bloody awful. On the flipside the weather was magnificent and I went back to work 6 weeks later looking like I'd spent a couple of months in the Caribbean Grin

Magicpaintbrush · 09/01/2019 10:47

Accidentally kneeling with your full weight onto an upturned plug which then sinks right into your knee.

Dropping a saucepan onto your foot, only to then accidentally drop a full glass bottle of milk onto your foot five minutes later.

wildgirls · 09/01/2019 10:55

Child slamming your finger in the hinge side of the door and continuing to pull it hard as it just won’t close. Ummm, yeah that’s because my finger is wedged in there! 🤮

WakeUpFromYourDreamAndScream · 09/01/2019 10:57

I raise you a emergency c-section where the epidural hadn't gone deep enough. I thought I would die from the pain 😩

viques · 09/01/2019 11:12

@mumsnethq.

This thread needs a warning sticker to stop those of us with a delicate disposition crumbling into a gibberng heap on the floor. Where incidentally we could get trodden on and mildly hurt........

Nellabella · 09/01/2019 11:12

OMG wake up, were you awake, could you tell them????!!!!

babybunny123 · 09/01/2019 11:13

I have a black toe nail at the moment through banging it on my chest of drawers, but the worst pain of all was kneeling on a stickle brick !!!
This happened over 20 years ago but I will never forget.

Consolidatedyourloins · 09/01/2019 11:15

Banging elbow in door when reverse hovering. Every bloody time.
