Worst pain of your life...uncensored.

I have a bad history of small bowel obstructions. Ten times in the past 7 years. Three surgeries. Grown men do cry. The last time I spent 6 weeks after the surgery waiting and hoping my bowels would start working. Pain meds were good !

This thread is like an auto accident. I could not help but slow down and look.

Last year I was told I have 5 kidney stones, I've only have 4 more to go now. YA for me something to look forward to.

When the Seahawks screwed up at the one yard line because I would have won the Net54 Playoff Pool if they had scored. Seriously, I would have to go with the day before I had my appendix removed.

No PAIN
No GAIN
(for me

)

I feel like I'm eavesdropping on my patients reading this thread.

March 23, 1999:

Playing tennis with a friend. Started my forehand swing at the baseline and it felt like someone was standing right behind me and hit the back of my lower right leg as hard as they could with a baseball bat. I heard an audible "POP."

Fell to the ground, took a look, and back of my leg from the ankle up was turning purple. Non-contact achilles tendon rupture injury. The worst part was walking on it to make it back to the car. Was "okay" until I tried to bend the foot inward in the regular "heel-toe" motion instead of walking stiff like Frankenstein's monster.

Surgery on March 25, the second worst pain was when all the meds wore off after my epidural. Yep, they did that for me and I was virtually dead from the waist down.

Vicodin would not even touch it. Had to take something called Talwin (sp?) that I was later told was an older medication (small pill). It was great, and made me not care for a while.

Not a pain story, but, as some know, I was in intensive care for 9 days last year. Before I was taken to the emergency room, I was so sick that I was projectile vomiting perhaps 15 times a day and literally couldn't read the text on a computer screen or in a magazine or the time on a clock.

Not sure why, but I am enjoying this thread. Old guys and their aches and pains.

Last year I was out on my bicycle and I got to the top of a hill. Took a bit of a breather and pulled out my water bottle for a couple of sips. Foolishly started down the hill with water bottle still in hand. After I picked up some speed I took both hands off bike and took another sip of water. Went into a "speed wobble" and could not regain control. Flying down hill by this point and inevitably lost total control and crashed. Thankfully a passerby stopped to help me and called an ambulance. No breaks, but raw skin everywhere and ended up on IV for ten days due to infection. Body still shows multiple signs of trauma. Painful.

Gout hands down. I know women who have it who told me it was worse than child birth, and i replied, yes i know.

I did this, sort of. I laid down my motorcycle at 155 MPH. I wasn't drinking anything, but the "death wobble" is a real thing. I was young and very, very stupid. I was also in shock. I got back on the bike and rode to a friends house. I walked in, and was covered in blood. He said I think you should go in. I guess I passed out. You could see some of my bones, the skin was scraped off all the way down to them. The actual worst pain may have been when they were scrubbing the open wounds with a brillo pad to get any tar out. I hated my life for about 2 weeks.
