What’s one of the worst physically painful incidents you’ve ever endured?

I can’t be certain, but one that I’ll never forget as long as I live was when I was a kid. I was somewhere between 7-9 years old, and I was sledding by myself down an embankment that lead to a baseball field behind my grandmothers house. I didn’t know after the sled came to a stop that there was a sheet of black ice under the snow. I got out of the sled, slipped, and landed on the back of my skull. I lay there for a couple minutes, dizzy and gritting my teeth. I was in a lot of pain. I eventually got up and went back in the house. The worst part is, I don’t think I ever told my mother or grandmother what happened to me. What if I had a concussion and later on I passed out and they had no idea what was wrong with me because they didn’t know how to help me?🤔 Stupid kid stuff. 😳🤷🏻‍♀️😯

Tearing my ACL and MCL while pitching in practice in college . Felt like lightning all the way through my back ! Then the day after surgery ... really hurt .
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@TexChik I am so happy that worked well for you. You are a very strong woman and I admire you for that.

@SweetMae Mae it was absolute hell ! I kept praying for guidance and strength and all I got back was the notion to go get him ! Then his secretary called and told me where he was and who he was with. I took care of the rest
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@TexChik Good for you!! I am glad that you did.

Bone wracking chills from sepsis and a temperature of 105 that should have killed me. The chills came every six hours, and I would pray for them to end quickly so I could live until the next round.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@SweetMae Thanks. It all worked out.
tj78610 · 51-55, M
@windinhishair Sepsis is no joke. Glad you pulled through!
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@tj78610 Thanks. It ended up being a positive.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
I fractured my pelvic cradle sliding in a steep sandpit.

Bone marrow pain from Neupogen shots when I had cancer. All I could do was cry - and take serious pain meds.

I had pleurisy. Its a kind of pneumonia where fluid builds up outside the lungs but inside the pleural sac. It slowly squeezes the lungs so you cant breathe except with tiny short breaths. If you lie down, you absolutely cannot breathe. It takes about 3-4 days for antibiotics to do much. The pressure/pain is awful and unremitting.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@redredred Glad you made it through.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@redredred That is very painful.

2 of 3 of my 8+ pound kids I had without any drugs. Or epidural.

And I had my hand covered in burning oil.
It was a toss up. Between those.
SW-User
@Thebestof1995 my daughter was 9.2 I had the epidural with her. 😳

I put my foot on top of a tire as it was going like 30 miles per hour to see what it would do. I was like 4 years old. Needless to say, I remember my foot turning greenish after a few seconds. I don't remember the rest.

I got badly sick two years ago because of my drinking habits. I felt like my body was about to implode
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@tutku Thank goodness you made it.
tutku · 26-30, F
@windinhishair Thank you so much :)
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@tutku You are welcome. You have much to do.

I had an unexpected C section and they didn't have time to give me enough meds so I felt everything. As excruciating as the was none of it compares to how bad I was hurting when I ran out of pain medicine 2 weeks later. After two days of no medicine I realized I got hooked to it because the pain just magically vanished. Soooo pill addiction.

Calcified tendonitis in my shoulder
Fungirlmmm · 51-55, F
@Spumoni I bet that hurt. Do they replace the joint ?
SwampFlower · 31-35, F
Coughing the days directly after open bowel and heart surgeries. It feels like you're pushing out all your innards on purpose.

The constant nerve pain I have, but when it peaks. Oof. A few days of that and I am literally crazy.
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@SwampFlower 🥺🤗💗😘

As a soccer player I have broken a few bones but both fracturing and dislocating my shoulder (two separate incidents) may have been the most painful.
