To think this is one of the most painful things you can do.

[sweeneytoddsrazor]

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 followed by toe turning a lovely shade of bluey/purple. Nice 9 hour shift later and it is bloody agony.

5 days in hospital with quincy, throat lanced twice daily by a Consultant till the last day when they let a junior Dr loose on my throat as he had never seen quincy before.....he lanced everywhere except where he should have....after much spitting of blood he came back at me with the scalpel...i managed to hiss get that fucking idiot away from me and get me a proper Dr, just as the Consultant walked into the room, She managed to remove him from the room and within seconds had managed to do what he couldn't. She even apologised for the excess pain I would now be in.

Had gallstones and a gallbladder removal, kidney stones, broken toes and fingers, fractured collar bone, but quincy wins hands down.

My middle name is "Lucky" hahaha

As a child I shut my finger in the hinge of the door, my whole finger went black and my nail fell off...kept it in a coffee jar beside my bed for years.

My mother once drove a garden fork right through her foot, then had to pull it out before she could hobble indoors and say 'I think I need to go to the docs'

Oh and my Dad cut his thumb off with an electric saw and started driving to a and e then realised he wasn't going to make it and diverted to the local ambulance station who took him to hospital ! (They sewed the thumb back on again - you could hardly see the join)

Despite having had quinsy and having fallen downstairs and broken my arm and knocked myself unconscious the worse pain ever was the following.

I was putting tins away and panicking cos I had to pick up DC from nursery (so every second counts). I had reached up to top shelf and dropped a tin, sharp edge down, on my toe. I thought I was going to faint, it was so painful - the gathered velocity from the height made it really bad I think.

Back to quinsy - that was a shocker! So quick, went to bed semi normal and woke up in the middle of the night unable to swallow saliva. I was so thirsty I had to absorb water through my parched tongue.

I drove myself to a walk in clinic expecting to have a strepsil thrown at me and told to go away and lie down with some Lemsip. They immediately put me in resus and hooked me up to IV fluids, steroids and ABs. The steroids made me puke, which made me piss myself somewhat.

Eventually someone advanced on me with an enormous needle to aspirate the abcess from my tonsil, v hard no to gag. Horrible! But the tin and toe wins!

Pansies the lot of you.

Opening the cupboard door, hidden, much awaited and anticipated wispa bar.
After a day of utter utter motherfucking hell and shit on earth.
Deserved I believe.

Empty packet.
Empty wispa packet. Put back into the cupboard to mock me.

Don’t quite know how the police, fire brigade and CID planned on dealing with this as I refrained from contacting them.
That time. But if it ever happens again, HELL shall be unleashed.

I was in great pain from this one incident. You would too.

Burning your arm on the tortoise basking light! Ouch

Play fighting with my brother on a Sunday morning (important) fell backwards with my leg underneath me. He jumped on me. I heard my leg snap.
Told / shouted to my mom, who told me I was being ridiculous, and gave me paracetamol and frozen peas for the sprain.
That night had to get upstairs and then climb into the top bunk bed. Thought I was going to faint or vomit.
Woohoo she agreed I could take Monday off school, and everyone left for the day.
Longest day of my life, paracetamol ran out. And frozen peas were mush. Loo was upstairs.

Very luckily for me a friend of my moms came home with her from work Monday night, took one look at my heel which was at a 45 degree angle from the rest of my foot, and I was finally taken to hospital.
Where they had to re-break my leg as it had started to heal.
Shattered shin bone, dislocated knee, and heel. 9 months in plaster.

Put garden fork through own foot.

Stood up under a low outcroped wall in a pub. Corner of outcrop full force into my crown. Went v white, hot sour mouth, and nearly keeled over. Then stared behaving oddly. I still have the dip in the top of my head.

Wow, I had forgotten the last two. I would say thanks for the memories but.....

At 15 I slammed my thumb in the car door. Cried involuntarily from that one. Massive blood blister underneath the nail, although I didn't lose the nail. Used to sit in double maths with a needle poking out the dried blood from behind the nail as it grew out.

My wisdom teeth started coming through when I was twenty. I was counting the seconds til I could have more pain relief. It just stopped after about three days.

Have kicked the wooden box that served as a coffee table - the corner drove between my toes and made them do the splits. I couldn't speak for a while after that.

I also once experienced a headache like no other, before or since. It was so bad I was deliberately burning my bare back on a burning hot radiator, because the second of distraction from the headache pain was worth it.

I had trapped wind once, it felt like I was being stabbed and the knife twisted in my guts. Have a lot of sympathy for people who suffer this regularly.

I feel I have been very, very lucky indeed not to have had worse. These stories

Reading this thread.

Cooking with fresh chillies, not washing my hands properly, then rubbing my eyes. OWWW MY EYYYYYES! Couldn't see a thing for about 10 minutes!

Carrying a ready meal fish pie, dropping it, and reflexively trying to CATCH it. That had me spending the next several hours with my hand in a bowl of water to try and sooth the burn.

Thumb closed in wooden front door.

Opening a cupboard, something falling out, picking it up then standing up fast catching your head on the corner of the door and knocking yourself out. 4x I did that in my last job!

Breaking your elbow on your good arm

Arthritis in the cold!

@Nellabella yes I was awake luckily! I obviously screamed out in pain and the anaesthetist told the surgeons to stop, they topped up the epidural then continued to cut and that didn't work either, they wanted to then give me a GA but I wanted to see my PFB born so said no and they wheeled in this machine, put in 2 new cannulars and gave me this wonderful cocktail of drugs which sent me high as a kite, pain free but awake!

It was horrendous and afterwards the head of anaesthetics came to see me to apologise etc (probably shitting themselves incase I sued!)

Elder brother chasing me through garden. Ran into summerhouse. Turned to slam the glass door, put my arm through the glass pane instead and all the skin on my hand & arm came off like a glove.

Don’t remember it being painful. Remember being weirdly fascinated. Blood all over new cream carpet which Grandad had to rip up and throw away.

Few weeks later ran from brother again, stood on garden rake. Fell backwards through newly replaced glass window. Blood all over second brand new clean carpet which was now ruined. Grandad wasn’t best pleased with us...

Wake up-terrifying, I had a c section and it feels weird anyway as you can feel the tugging cant you and I couldn't differentiate between the sensation of feeling being touched and pain but at some point the anaesthetist asked me what I could feel when they were actually cutting and obviously I couldn't feel that!
But to feel the cutting, you must be brave!!!

ManchesterMum63 That test they do to see if you have carpal tunnel syndrome... A taser-like instrument that sends an electric current (shockconfused) up your arm to see 'how far it goes'

WTAF! I've got Carpal Tunnel and I'm scared to go and seek treatment in case they do cortisone injections - you have just cemented that I'm definitely not going now!!!

I've had my nipple nearly bitten off by a horse and gall stones and stood on a drawing pin! My three month old just dug her fingernails in my lip now that's painful!!!

Ooh just remembered also being stitched up with the wrong stitches (non dissolvable instead of dissolvable) after having a lump removed from my fanny. Was told they would dissolve and I didn't need to have them out.- three weeks later they had gone nowhere and the skin had grown over them. My GP and the practice nurse took it in turns to try to free them, it took nearly an hour and I had to be held down at one point. Shudder.

I dropped a bag of frozen spinach on my big toe at Christmas, it became infected and now I'm on antibiotics x

DH wound the car window up on the tips of my fingers. Fingers stuck in car window. Excruciating. I was expecting black fingers nail, bruises etc, but annoyingly there was no trace of it Hurt like fuck though

I give you: cervical examination, by a big bloke. Eek.

Renal. Colic.

DD was 'sat' on my ureters (tubes that carry urine from your kidneys to your bladder) causing a back flow. I was in agony, ended up in hospital on drips of liquid paracetamol rolling around in pain. Not easy at 8.5 months pregnant let me tell you.

A wasp flying up your shorts, and repeatedly stinging your arse, because it can't get back out.

Taking a drink from a can of coke that you had no idea a large wasp had just flown into.... Cue stings on that soft place where your lip joins your lower gums. Ouch!

Arterial blood samples when you have difficult arteries to find. I insist they get a scanner or get a registrar if I need them now and always question if they need doing... it’s always asthma related and I’m pretty sure if I’m well enough to argue my way out of them, I almost definitely don’t need them. Having an SHO rummage around in your wrists is AGONY.
