In my mid 40's, I woke up one morning when my legs were stiff and I can't walk. There's an excruciating pain to any slight movement that can twitch my face making me scream in frustration.

I called my brother who was just a few blocks from my house to send me pain reliever. I took it and slept for 2 hours, thinking I might not ever walk again.

Surprisingly, everything was back to normal after waking up like nothing really happened.

Last year in August, my left knee got swollen and it was aspirated. Still on medication that gives relief but still painful. Been 8 months...

Sigh. I hope this ends so I can function normally.

Years ago a dentist struck a nerve prepping a tooth for a root canal. I lost some time and I saw a bright white light, my grandparents, all the dogs (all dogs go to heaven) I ever owned, Elvis (surprisingly) and I believe Saint Peter in the distance. Then the light went away and I regained time and braced on the chair. The dentist pulled the drill. Leaned back and I bolted up screaming. Then the pain was gone. Maybe I’m exaggerating a bit. I did scream. It was excruciating pain.

@Thatsright Did the dentist give you any compensation for such harm and a sudden death experience?

@1PrivateHannah 1. I exaggerate a lot. 2. He didn’t do it on purpose. 3. It was a military dentist. and I was in the military.

It did make me close my eyes tight and take my breath away.
