re: Most physical pain you have had?

Two different incidents where I tore muscles:

1. Junior year in High School tore my Sternocleidomastoid (the muscle that runs from the back of your head and connects to your collar bone and sternum). Thought I had broken my neck. Hurt like hell and I couldn't lift my head.

2. Last Fall, tore my calf muscle. It felt like I had been hit in the leg with a sledgehammer.

Heart attack. Two days later my cardiologist said, "morphine is a wonderful drug, isn't it?"

He was right.

I am 100% now after two back surgeries. Good luck with yours and watch the pain killers bro. Opiate addiction turns into a life long struggle.

Collapsed lung via a pneumothorax shat on the physical pain of kidney stones and the mental anguish of seeing blood exit from down there...

First kidney stone

2. Colonoscopy with no anesthesia

Inquiring minds want to know... why?

The arse Doc told me he'd given four to guys that day already who said they didn't need the drugs. It was my first, and I didn't want to seem like a pussy. (It was Kaiser and they were probably trying to save money on the anesthetist.)

Every one since, I've had the sleepy drugs.

Fell a few feet onto concrete, and first point of contact was my left knee. Obliterated a bunch of cartilage and moved the patella, but at 14 years old thought I'd walk off the pain. Made it home from school with a knee swollen 2 or 3 times normal and went to ER. Doctor told us they'd have to drain the fluid, and clarity of the fluid would tell them how bad the damage was. It appeared to be all blood. Making matters worse, he was basically stabbing me in the knee with a large bore hypodermic repeatedly because there was lots of fluid and he was in a hurry. He was just filling up dixie cups with what he got out.

Kidney stones in 2009. $14,000 ER bill for a three hour stay to tell me I had kidney stones.

Second place is a broken nose/deviated septum when I was 14, got it playing sharks and minnows.

When I woke up from open heart surgery. Intense pain.
Close second, collapsed lung. When they put the tube in to re inflate the lung I passed out from the pain.

I dislocated my knuckle hitting a guy in the face in high school hand swole up like a mug after i was done hitting him walked out like a boss out of the cafeteria cried like a bitch going to the principles office still dislocated till this day
