The pain thread

this is the thread (don't know if it is the first) where you can tell of things that hurt you (mentally or physically)

So I'll start to set an example

Yesterday on April Fools Day I was playing basketball with my friends. I jumped up to rebound the ball and fell straight on my left ankle. Obviously I couldn't play basketball anymore, so I tried my best to limp home. Where I ended up getting taken to the emergency room. My mom and I waited there for what seemed and eternity. (4 hours) The only reason I didn't get bored was that the pain in my ankle was too much.(and rolling around in a wheel chair was cool.) I also got some good news about my mom booking a hotel for nationals connected right next to Origins. After 3 hours, we got called in to get my X-rays. I found out the ankle was sprained. After about 1 more hour I got a my Ace Bandage and my new crutches and headed home. I got dinner at McDonalds. When I got home I had to go to the bathroom(a task normally so easy was made so hard) and got to bed.

So that was my boring April Fools day Pain Story.

Post stories of when you had a lot of pain.
 
My allergies cause me the most pain.... When I went for my allergy testing(to confirm I needed weekly allergy shots), I ended up getting 50 small needles in my back(injecting things that I might be allergic to so that they could see what I was allergic to), which made me LITERALLY see stars because I got such a reaction from some, so much that I almost passed out. Then I got 20 needles in my arm, which hurt even more. Its not so much that needles hurt, as it was that there were so many. In this case, quantity is better (actually worse) than quality.
 
Lyme Disease. Which gave me:
Bell's Palsy, which is facial paralysis (in both sides of my face, very uncommon!)
Loss of sense of taste.
Massive migrane headache that was never ending
Every single nerve ending in my body was screaming in pain.

Luckily I got a good doctor and I fully recovered.
I'd hate to think about having to deal with that kind of pain for the rest of my life like some unfortunate souls have to.

I had lyme disease. No pain at all. I was just really tired and had to stay inside for a month.
 
I had it for three months before I realized I had it. Thought it was just a cold/flu
(Judged the 2001 EC STS with it, running a 102.5 temperature)
It wasn't until three months later that it started attacking my nervous system.

It's the kind of thing that affects every person very differently, depending on what part of the body it's attacking.
 
12/12/07 - a date which will be etched deep in my memory. I broke my left fibula bone. Snapped it so hard that it caused collatoral damage to the big tibia bone - busted the tip off. The metal in my leg means I now get extra attention at the airport screener.

This reminds of the old Willie & Frankie (Billy Crystal & Christopher Guest) comedy routine on SNL where the two tried to out-do each other about what is more painful.


Willie: [rubs his shoulder in pain] Shoo, boy.

Frankie: What's the matter?

Willie: Eh, my shoulder hurts. You know - you know that narrow hallway in the boiler room? The one with the, uh--?

Frankie: Exposed bolts comin' out o' the wall?

Willie: Yeah. Well, every time I walk past it, the bolts dig right into my shoulder. I-- It's very painful.

Frankie: Boy. You wanna talk about some pain? I bought one o' them linoleum knives the other day, you know?

Willie: With the double edge?

Frankie: Right.

Willie: Yeah?

Frankie: So, I go home, you know, and I spread my toes apart and I just start sawing, back and forth and back and forth, you know?

Willie: Mm hmm.

Frankie: And I take a little thing o' Tobasco sauce, you know?

Willie: Yeah.

Frankie: And just dump it on there. Talk about a hotfoot, mister! Boy, that was rough.

Willie: Yeah, I know what you mean. You know, the other day, I took one o' them, uh--?

Frankie: Meat thermometers?

Willie: Yeah! And I just shoved it into my ear, you know? As far as it could go, you know? But then I took one o' them, uh--?

Frankie: Ball-peen hammers?

Willie: Right. And just whacked it a few times right in there, you know.

Frankie: Boy, that must smart.

Willie: I know! I HATE when THAT happens.

Frankie: You know what I hate?

Willie: What?

Frankie: I go into the kitchen, I open the drawer, you know?

Willie: Uh huh?

Frankie: And I take out a, uh--

Willie: Carrot scraper?

Frankie: Right. And I stick it up my nose, you know, and I'm rootin' it around, and, you know, gettin' all the mucus membranes out o' there, you know? And then I take one o' them, uh--?

Willie: Mentholated eucalyptus cough drops?

Frankie: Right. And I stick it-- wedge it up there, you know? I take a couple o' whiffs, boy. Heh, ya feel like your head's gonna explode.

Willie: Boy, isn't THAT the truth? It's like the other night. I'm in the attic and I got a bunch o' mousetraps, ya know?

Frankie: Right.

Willie: And, for bait, I used a big piece of, uh--

Frankie: Camembert?

Willie: Right. So, so I set the trap, right? A-a-a-a-and I wanna see if the trap was gonna work, right? So I got the Camembert in there.

Frankie: Right.

Willie: But every time I went to taste the cheese, the thing came down right on my tongue! ... I'm tellin' ya -- after forty, fifty times, I - I - I couldn't even feel the cheese, much less taste it. I hate when THAT happens, I'll tell ya that.

I got some sort of stomach virus when I was in 1st grade. Geez, that was NOT FUN. I could not eat food for about 2 weeks, and I LOVE eating food. All I was allowed to have was water whenever my stomach was in pain (which was pretty much all the time). I ran a fever of about 102-103 for the entire time. Had to go to the hospital at 2am, 3am, first for X-rays, then for some type of advanced imaging (couldn't tell you what it was, though). Man, I HATE that MRI machine. Not the smallness of the thing. The fact that I CAN NOT MOVE while I'm in there. I fidget incessantly, something my parents hate about me. Can't stay completely still for more than about 30 seconds at a time. Two weeks home from school, in 1st grade (FUN GRADE) isn't fun, I'll tell you that...

Yeah MRI's are not fun. Its REALLY loud, so I got earplugs. It can get chlostrophobic, even though theres a clear path of escape, but its sooooooo boring and loud and you have to stay totally still, as you said. They have to inject some kind of something into your body to make the pictures come out clearly, and apparently it is painful enough that they gave me something to numb the area where they put in the stuff. My Mom had a bad headache after sitting there while I was in the machine, cuz it was so loud...
 
I am gonna say going to Hawaii, pillow fighting (hence the name) and dislocating my knee, then i got to lay on a hotel floor (rather hard i must say) for FOUR hours in the SAME EXACT spot while my knee hurt. Since i was on my side, after about... 30 minutes it started hurting and 30 minutes later from that is was very painful, hour after that excruciating... and the last 2 hours just got worse...

So, eventualy ambulance comes (i laid on the floor so long deciding if we should get ambulance, it didnt take 4 hours to get there) and i got to go to hosp and i got put on a bed in the hall... where a nurse gave me a blanket by sticking a folded on on me and like flopping it around trying to get it unfolded (which shook me and hurt some more...) then a doctor cam by and she walked backwards outta his way bumping into me AGAIN.

then i just got Xrays and such and got to chew up vicoden or w.e cause i couldtn swallow at the time (learned how RL fast once i started chewing ibu profen..) and all was well after plain ride where i got kicked 50000 times by ppl boarding... surgery.... falling on crutches twice.... 3 months of therapy................

Seems pretty public then if you're submitting yourself to that kind of punishment.
