At 41, the worst so far is epididymitis. Basically felt like I had just been kicked in the balls for 3-4 days straight. I've had it a couple times since, but never as bad. Like pinkeye, it's caused by poo particles. Edit: Just remembered 2nd degree burns on my shoulders after swimming during an overcast afternoon. Holy hell that hurt. Worst part was having to be clothed at work.

Oh there was also the time I full speed ran into the side of a guy's car on my bike going downhill at like 18 miles per hour. I couldn't move my arm for about a day. The guy at the campus clinic told me there was nothing I could really do, he didn't really think it was broken, and that I should just take tylenol. I ended up being really good friends with the dude who's car I ran into. I probably had a hairline fracture but I just wore a sling for a bit and was okay in a few weeks.

Probably when the painkillers wore off right as the dentist was extracting an impacted wisdom tooth. The roots were also embedded in the jawbone so it felt like someone slowly breaking one of your bones. Not a fun day

I had a ton of ear infections as a kid and there was a certain type of ear drops they gave me one time that burned like a mother. It felt like acid dripped into my ear canal. I had to quit those right away.

back in early 2008 i started having nausea, then upper back pain. then i couldn't do certain gestures with my hands. Suddenly i was dry heaving. I couldn't walk five feet without being in agony. Finally an ER doc did some blood work (after like 3 different hospitals said nothing was wrong), and he saw my white cell count was so high as if it was fighting a really loving bad infection. They gave me a spinal tap, to see if it was meningitis. Nope. Anyway, that made things worse. The inside of your skull has spines, and spinal fluid supports your brain in the skull and keeps it from bumping into those spines, so when it's diminished after a spinal tap, and leaking from the puncture, your only salvation is hardcore painkillers. I was functional after 2 weeks in the hospital of constant bloodwork and observation, but i had residual pain for months, and a year and a half later i had a brief flash of identical symptoms but they subsided and i was no longer under my parents insurance so i couldn't do much but walk into the ER and be told it's not an emergency. Oh well, who knows when it will strike back.

Uncle at Nintendo posted:OK this one made me cringe reading it. I had a toenail die and then eventually fall off, but there was this creepy, soft toenail waiting underneath to replace it. It was so unnerving to touch this normal looking toenail that was squishy. I thought I must be part lizard. It still grosses me out to think about it. To contribute, let me start off by saying that I don't take freezing too well. When I get stitches, the doctor will give me 5-7 needles checking each time if I am frozen, but it never lasts more than a few seconds. Eventually, they just give up and give me the stitches. As you can imagine, feeling each and every stitch is rather unpleasant. So, when I had to get my wisdom teeth pulled out, I told this to the dentist. He reassured me that he had topical numbing as well and that his freezing was better than the hospital's. When he gave me the freezing he asked if I could feel him touching the numb parts to which I said "yes". He didn't believe me so he stabbed me in the cheeck and was shocked to hear me yell out at him. So he gave me more numbing and more needles and eventually, I was feeling sorta numb, but I was pretty sure it wouldn't last. He insisted that it would only take about 20 minutes. It took an hour and a half, the numbing wore off within 10 minutes and he used all the tools on his table. Drills, pliers, lances, everything. It was excruciating. I kept telling him that it hurt and he would just respond with "We can't stop now, I'm almost done" or "let me try something else". I finally tapped out at two teeth and got the other two pulled put under anesthesia. The most unsettling thing was his words during the ordeal, though. He would be prying and pulling at my tooth and then stop, look into my mouth and say "hmmmmmm?". Then he would grab a drill, grind away, stop, look at my mouth and say "it's really stubborn. weird" them grab another tool. He sounded like he had never done this before and I was scared for my mouth the whole time.

I was a dumb kid and was scared to speak up at a dentist appointment and so had a tooth drilled and filled without enough local anesthetic.

tickape posted:either that or the time i was withdrawing from effexor (venlafaxine) i honestly dont know which one was worse I did maybe 72-96 hours cold turkey off Effexor once (certainly not by choice, rather by misadventure), and that is not an experience I'd wish on my worst enemy. "Painful" probably isn't the right word, but "unpleasant" doesn't even get in the ballpark. Won't be doing that again. Pro-tip: if you decide to go off Effexor, institute a very long weaning period. Otherwise may God help you 'cause your brain sure won't.

Jack-Off Lantern posted:Whoever is not posting "forcing kidney stones through your dickhole" is wrong I hope to God I never get kidney stones. I drink like a gallon of water per day so I hope that's enough to prevent them. I remember when my grandfather had them and the doctor gave him the stones in a little jar to take home. Seems like a real "gently caress you" gesture but looking at those things and imagining them coming out of your dick horrified me as a kid.

lumbar punctures aka spinal taps every month for 3.5 years went without anesthetic because it was useless and demerol made me feel like throwing up but the thing about pain is it is far different when you anticipate it and know you arent actually going to be injured by it. without the fear it can be just another sensation. it didnt take many before they were quite easy, regardless of pain. pain with fear of injury, disability, or disfigurement would be much worse (spinal taps are when a wide needle is shoved to break into one of your vertebrae lengthwise right where all the nerves that carry pain signals to your brain from more than half your body are. if you wanted to install an on/off switch for pain that would be a good place) gary oldmans diary fucked around with this message at 07:08 on Jan 22, 2017 |

"Painful" probably isn't the right word, but "unpleasant" doesn't even get in the ballpark. Ahahaha. Yeah, don't gently caress with Effexor. It does what it's made for very well, but gently caress you if you miss a couple days. An insurance lapse in the US can wreck your everything with that stuff. Most physically painful thing I have endured is my appendix loving up. The doctors said that if I hadn't gotten it out that night, it would have ruptured. It felt like I had eaten glass and it had made its way down to my bowel. Ugh.

Obliterated the top bone of my pinky finger while stacking firewood. Slammed down a 20 lb log with my right hand and didn't pull my left hand away fast enough. All they could do was sew it shut hope the bone fused back together. It did, but my pinky looks loving weird now and the nail has a crack down the middle that is only now starting to go away 10 years later. I did learn from that ordeal that if you tell the ER nurse that you're nauseous it gets you seen asap!

Suspekt Device posted:I got injected with Narcan. You go from being on heroin to the exact opposite of heroin in the space of a few seconds. I felt like a rock had cracked open my skull. I've had one patient we had to blast like that because he was already blue when we got there. I was always gentle with it otherwise. You know you did it right when they say they still feel high, whereas they were dead to the world a minute or so before. There was one reg one of my partners hated and we'd always have to do a sternal run to rose him and then right away she'd start in with the narcan threats. He was a petulant little prick but I admire all committed addicts and we never narcaned him during one of my shifts. He ODed and died eventually of course.

I got an infection in my balls or the vas defrens when I was like ten. We went to the urologist about it and he was tuggin on my nuts while I screamed bloody murder. His conclusion was that it was viral and that in a week or would be better. He was right about that at least. I also broke my ankle. Neither one of those was good but both were endurable in the end. I'm pretty sure the most pain a person can feel outside of deliberate torture is being burnt up. There are some burns that a 3x normally-max adult dose of IV morphine can't touch. raton fucked around with this message at 08:34 on Jan 22, 2017 |
