What's the most physical pain you've ever experienced? Is it funny upon reflection? How long did it take you to recover?....

Sometimes I wish I could smack myself very hard upside the head


anyway ...
zero funny reflection


Kidney stones ~ 1 day severe pain at the hosptal and 3 days recovery - drug free

I PRAYED while in the hospital to be in labor for 30 hrs unmedicated and deliver a baby instead ! x's 2

I had done that 2 times and both combined did not touch the pain of the kidney stones

Were you not drinking enough water?

labour, until the epidural kicked in

Flying over the handlebar of a motorbike, landing on gravel. Still have a scar on my elbow today and it was probably about 7 years ago now.

Also a horrid blood test I got once with a shitty doctor, absolutely KILLED!

Getting mauled by a K9 that went loco - I was only 5 years old and the damn bastard attacked me in my old neighbourhood on the street. Still have a few cool scars from that occasion.

Breaking my right arm - I was only 6 years old so was easy to become ambidextric. Only well after a year later could I start using my right arm again.

Slicing my left arm in half during a fall in the shower - Required hospital time and many fat and skin stitches by a plastic surgeon. Still have a long ass scar on my arm.

Numerous surgeries including laparoscopys, pelviscopys, biopsys due to cysts and endometriosis.

Yadda yadda could go on but I would say no physical pain can be compared to emotional pain and I wear my scars like jewels. If I was to compare, getting my various tattoos did hurt but was nothing compared to breaking my arm. From what I've been told over the years about childbirth it seems to be the most painful procedure for a woman to go through. That's why when I do decide to procreate I will opt for a c-section...

Childbirth. Definitely.

Migraines a close second.

Childbirth is now funny to me. Sure wasn't at the time.


Migraines...never ever been funny. Not even on reflection.

Childbirth recovery...6 weeks or more.

Migraines...days.

neck and shoulder pain
I was in a car accident back in 92 and got severe whiplash. I used to laugh at people who said they got whiplash. Well karma got me for that. I knew I was in trouble when I actually had pain on the day of the accident and the ER doc gave me 2 muscle relaxers, Tylenol w/ codeine and motirn. He said go home eat and take all these meds, I asked him if he thought I was going to be in some pain and he just nodded. Well I felt ok a little sore so I went home ate and took the motrin. I did fine the rest of the day but the next morning I could not move at all.
17 years and much physical therapy later I still occassionally have that pain.

I've delivered children unmedicated, had appendicitis and a hiatal hernia, and still the worst pain I've experienced is an infected molar.

Cancer

Dry sockets from wisdom teeth extractions. Ugh.

Having 2 talk 2 my ex.

Probably my tats.
I've broken toes, went unconscious and effed up my face, and had glass go through my foot.
And my tats hurt more



this thread is making feel even more scared to have kids

DanceWme said:

Seriously! Whoever said getting tats doesn't hurt is a lying motherfucker.



Don't be scared to have kids. Having your crotch ripped ain't nearly as bad as you're imagining it to be.

omg
those words are burned in my brain now.


my mom told me to do it natural. no epidurals and drugs and what not

DanceWme said:

I've got much respect for your mom for bringing you into this world. I've no doubt she is a most amazing lady but....


Your mama is fucking crayzay!

hokie said:

LMFAO

same thing i said.

im gonna take everything they give me

DanceWme said:

Honey, my coochie was so numb that doctor could have put his hand in there and reached up and grabbed my lungs and I wouldn't have felt a thing.

DanceWme said:

Did you get tattooed on your forehead or something? I mean they are uncomfortable but they don't compare to a gash or broken bones!

hokie said:

yooooo

i had to show my co worker that one lol

CarrieLee said:

im backwards.

when i messed up my face..for some reason i wasnt in as much pain as anyone thought. My tooth went through my lip and that was the only thing that hurt. The rest of my face didnt bother me. And when i broke my toe..i didnt even know it was broken until 2 days later.

Brazilian waxes are right up there too....

I want one. Well, close to it. Don't tell me that!

DanceWme said:

I be on a motherfucking roll this mornin'!

hokie said:

Make sure you don't schedule the appt. before your period and take some advil right before you go. You should also exfoliate the skin the night before.

It's just those crevices that really get ya! Ouch!

CarrieLee said:

I don't get a period so I'm good and I've heard about the advil.

I'm scared!

hokie said:

Just make sure you go to a reputable place. If the esthetician is good it will be fast and less painful. Soy wax is the best down there imo. Better than hard wax or honey wax.

CarrieLee said:

Thanks for the tips.


So, I shouldn't go to Walmart to get it done?
