It's pretty close: I've been hit in the solar plexis by a baseball, cracked in the nuts by accident, my brother kicked me in the stomach, and I have had some nasty leg cramps. But what I remember most is having my dry ear wax removed by an ENT specialist with a metal hook instrument. It hurt like heck when the wax came off the skin inside my ear, and he told me to not jump because it hurt so bad. It lasted a few minutes per ear. This was some years ago and I have to think as conscious as clinics are about patient comfort and competition for business, they have changed this procedure. These days you can't have a mole removed without them offering you Vicodan. Also, my tennis partner drilled me as hard as he could by accident on the side of my face a few years ago. He really kind of sucked as a player and he reared back to try and hit a passing shot from behind me and instead he drilled me really hard on the side of my face and ear. I was sweating at the time which made it all the more painful. I felt like someone had punched me hard. I am sure most of you can top my stories, though.

besides the zipper, I blew out my ankle and broke my fibula at the same time. the bone hurt, but the ankle killed. had to have a 76mm titanium screw drilled into the base of the tib/fib to pull them back together so everything would heal right. cast and crutches for 13 weeks. my ankle is still bigger than the other and has a sweet audible click to it

Actually it was an emergency clinic. I had tried to dig the **** out myself which caused an infection in one ear and it was all swollen up & hurting like hell so I figgered I should get some antibiotics, then go to an ENT asap.

But the doctor at the clinic said he could get it out for me.. He filled a big syringe thingy with the stool softener and plunged the softener in & out of my ears till it broke loose.

when i was lifeguarding at white water back in the mid 90s, i was jumping across a pool in the rapids to get to a rescue and got half my big toenail ripped out. went to the emergency room and the doctor decided to remove the whole nail... normally not a problem, but my body has a natural resistance to anisthetics, so when he shoved the thing that looked like needle nose pliers down into my toe and started peeling the nail back, i felt every bit of it.

that was the most pain i'd ever felt.

I dealt with the inner ear infections back about 40 years ago when I was a wee lad. Medieval heretics couldn't have had to endure much worse torture. I remember one procedure involved running a hose up my nose and into who knows where. I just remember that the doctor had me repeat the letter k and then he'd squeeze a rubber ball and my head would explode inside. Even though I knew what was coming, I'd still start saying "k, k, k, k" and them BAM!

But none of that came close to having multiple blood clots in my lungs, which has now happened twice in the last ten years. Every breath is excruciating, and you have to keep coughing up that blood and little chunks of the lining of the lungs. It feels like choking on broken glass.

Blood clots in the lungs are pretty dangerous from what I understand. I bet the docs put you on blood thinners ASAP and admitted you right away.

It's amazing how fast those ER people move when a middle aged man comes in complaining of chest pain with blood around his mouth. I'm talking SEC speed. Having them summon a minister to come and comfort you while you are still in the ER is a bit unsettling, though.

Was climbing trees that were covered in vines on the side of a hill when I was 15. Fell out of one tree into and down a Honey Locust tree that was below it with nice big thorns like this one.

http://www.hiltonpond.org/images/HoneylocustThorns01.jpg

One of the thorns caught me right at the belly button(an innie), and tore about 10 inches up my belly. I was hanging upside down with blood running down my face until my brothers could get me down.

20 years later that scar is still about 6 inches long and about 3/8 of an inch wide.

Tearing a major ligament is no joke. I have never done it, but know lots of folks who have, and they say it hurts like you could never imagine. It's no wonder those tough football players who are all wound up and seemingly immune to pain suddenly roll around and scream in agony when they blow out their knees. Can you imagine totally blowing out a knee, where you tear your ACL, MCL, meniscus, and everything else holding it together?

Recently I was killing a nest of yellow jackets and as they would fall on the ground I would step on them. Like a moron, I was wearing flip flops and just before I stepped on one, it jumped up and wrapped itself around my pinky toe. After I finally got it off the stinger was still in and I pulled it out (not knowing at the time that you should scrap it off to keep the extra venom from entering your body). The pain was excruciating and my entire foot swole up. It was like that for a few days and then itched like hell for another few days.

Playing football, in a team scrimmage, 230 lbs linebacker, vs me, put my shoulder down, nearly broke the whole thing. Still hurts. Coach said I was a moran for using my throwing shoulder. This was at as a sophomore so I didnt have a blue (non-contact) jersey yet. I could be cool and say i got the first down, but I was about 3 yards short. Was out for 3 and a half weeks.

Worst was falling through a roof on a fire. I landed awkwardly and tore up my shoulder but that pain was greatly overshadowed by the searing pain in my balls. I landed on a dresser and flipped over and got the corner of the chair full force in my nuts.

Guys issued a firefighter down call, breached the entry and dragged me out.

My balls swelled up to the size of baseballs and thought I would end up getting them removed. Swelling went down after about 6 weeks. Once they were almost normal the wife and I decided to make sexy time. When I hit my o face the pain nearly made me pass out and my population paste was dark rust colored.

2.) having my jaw broken in two places by getting hit by a pitch in baseball practice, also my senior year. I lost the rest of the season (and lots of weight) for that one.
3.) lower back surgery, actually not the surgery, the living with pain on a daily basis for 7 years up to the surgery and now again in the last few months as it seems to be coming back after 5 yrs of moderately pain free living.

I forgot to mention the intense pain I felt a couple of years ago when I jammed my finger while throwing a football at UK tailgating after having too much bourbon. The first one hurt like a mf. Well, stupid me thought I could shake it off, so I kept throwing the football, and guess what? I did it again to the same finger and the second time it hurt even worse. It swelled up huge the next day and turned purple and was stiff as a board. It took probably half a year to completely heal. I must have torn some tendons in that left index finger. To date, it does not feel exactly as before, somewhat stiffer than it was before the injury.

110' rappell, legs straight out in front of me, taint first directly onto the gnarly ragged head of a protruding rairoad spike. I saw God. I saw Satan. I saw a whole lot of **** that day.

Skateboarding while holding onto a truck. ~35mph or so I lost it. Both clavicles shattered, 3 broken fingers on one hand, and a compound fracture of the thumb on the other (the thumb bone was sticking out of my wrist), road rash, and Nurse Ratchet feeding me, washing me, and wiping my *** for the next 6 weeks.

Motorcycle wreck. 13 bones in my left foot/ankle/leg broken. Another clavicle, and all the tendons to my toes severed on the same foot.

Softball. Jumped for a fly ball, twisted in the air, and landed funkily on my arm. I looked down, and the knuckles of my right hand were laying on the back of my forearm. 7 pins, some screws, and all good.

I will say though that the pain after the doctors go in and re-set/re-screw/pin/destroy soft tissue is much worse than the pain of the injury itself. Except the taint. Doctor didn't touch that one.

I've had kidney stones and a ruptured disc and both are horrible because they don't go away quickly and are only moderated by medication unless you take enough to knock you completely out.

But the worst thing I have felt or can imagine is the defibrillator adjusted to stop your heart high. It only lasted a few seconds but it left a mark. Two marks in fact. Right before the ER doc said "clear" he said "I'm sorry I have to do this to you". Scared the **** out of me. You've seen it depicted in film and the part about bouncing off the table about three feet in the air is real. The part they don't show is how the current leaves your body. It finds the nerve bundle in your spinal column and follows it down your legs and goes out through your toes while you're screaming like a little girl. At least I screamed like a little girl. Then I went to sleep. Then they shocked me again and I woke up.

Why did I read this thread?

You all have had some bad luck. I am very disturbed now.

Broken Big toe and then finishing the wrestling match.

Broken clavicle in football practice, I believe I said "I'm shot coach." and then just stared into space. Taking the pads off over my head after breaking my clavicle added to the lovely.

Systemic poison ivy.

Pulling muscles in my back really sucks too.

These things said have all been pretty terrible. All I have done is get in a four-wheeler wreck, just some road rash. Wasn't even that bad, just had to get some stitches above my eye. The shot to numb the bump on my head before I got the stitches hurt most of all. And when I was little, I was playing outside and then I stepped on a nail that stuck into my foot. All good though.

While in HS, playing centerfield, a line drive was hit to the leftfielder, it took one bounce and nailed him un the sack. I saw his pain and I was in pain just seeing it happen.

Ok, here's one of the unwanted birth tales:

I had to have planned C-sections with both my sons. When you're given a spinal for said C-section, you have to bend over as far as you can while you're 9 months pregnant (and you're pretty much naked) so they can stick a big ol' needle into your spine. The anesthesiologist was having trouble finding the proper place to stick the needle and when he finally did....he hit a nerve. Felt like scalding water had been thrown all over me and I jumped, all while everyone is screaming, "Don't jump!"

He also gave me too much of the anesthesia, which gives you nausea and makes your shoulder feel like it's been broken while you're on the table. All that as they are ripping me open to pull out my son and then stitch me back up. The anesthesia then put me out for about 24 hours. I only woke up every time they changed the dressing or forced to roll on my side. Not fun.

But at least I didn't have to go through labor! :D

besides the zipper, I blew out my ankle and broke my fibula at the same time. the bone hurt, but the ankle killed. had to have a 76mm titanium screw drilled into the base of the tib/fib to pull them back together so everything would heal right. cast and crutches for 13 weeks. my ankle is still bigger than the other and has a sweet audible click to it

Yeah, I broke the tibia (spiral fracture) and fibula at the same time as well. Playing co-ed softball, I did a lousy slide into 3rd base. Heard it break! Blacked out from the pain for a few seconds. The girl that had asked me to help fill out the church camp team didn't even come to visit me in the hospital :mad:

But I got even with the gal ... been married to her for 23 yrs...

I'm feeling really lucky after reading this thread. Thanks guys and A Sooner in Texas.

I have been in many motorcycle crashes in Bangkok and I have done more damage to the cars than to myself. Yeah, I get really banged up, bruised and sore for weeks, but my bones must be strong.

I have only broken my middle finger in the opening kick-off of a football game and I continued to play every offensive play as center. My brother and sister never had a broken bone and I think one reason is that my mom would only buy fresh cows milk from a neighbor widow who needed the income. That was rich with an inch of cream on top. Or, it could have been that the milk came karma-enriched.

I have never had dengue fever, Kato. I am missing the bullet here too. My adopted family in Thailand who do not live far from Burma have swarms of mosquitoes year round and they don't seem to mind too much besides slapping them away and setting out some mosquito coils. They must largely be immune to it, as they only put out the mosquito nets for the newborns and me.

I have had typhoid fever, though. That's the most prolonged agony that I have been experienced because it was misdiagnosed for several weeks and I am, after all, a crybaby when I am sick.

I did a toothpick onto the bank of a river from 30 feet up in the air. I hit so hard I lacerated the back of my ankles from the impact on the bottom of my feet. It gave me a temporary paralysis in my legs and I couldn't swim to shore. Thankfully the current wasn't that fast; my cousins dragged me to the bank right before going over the spillway. Never did go to the doctor because I wanted to stay at my uncles house the rest of the summer. Still paying for it because I'm unable to run without my ankles giving way.

I threw a glass bottle at the ground when I was a kid. A piece of it came up and cut my eye. That pain wasn't so bad but the 8 hours it took to finally get to children's hospital in OKC was a nightmare. All the vomit in the back of the car probably helped contribute to my parents selling the Geo not too long after that (they should thank me for that :D ).

Was working at KFC when I was a kid and I tried opening a partially opened gallon can of baked beans by prying the lid back with my hands. Slipped and cut the **** out of my index finger. I didn't want to leave work so I bandaged the hell out of my finger and put on a couple latex gloves with rubber bands around the wrist. My fiance took me to the doctor at the end of my shift and I got it all fixed up. Must have got an infection either from waiting too long or the rusty damn can. Over the next few weeks I had to live with the worst pain of my life. My hand was swollen to the size of a grapefruit and it took me a week to go back to the doctor to have them look at it. To make it worse I had a previous fall-out with my dad and was living in a house that my fiance and I were fixing up. No running water or electricity. Thank god for my golden retriever, Sundance. I had just gotten her and she was the only thing that made the pain tolerable; I remember her laying next to me keeping me company at night while I writhed in pain.

Last would be 2 ruptured disks in my lower back that I've lived with over the past 13 years. I've finally had surgery(3 of them) on it over the past year but I went so long the doctor says I'll have to live with the pain all my life. I'd take all my previous injuries and do them over again many times just to not have to live with this any longer.

My elbow was dislocated for about 90 minutes--it was a basketball injury that looked a lot like Andrew Bogut's the season before last (if anybody remembers).

That sucked a lot.
