Climbed a tree, the branch I was holding on to broke, I fell, hurt back,ouch.

Other than that I haven't experienced much physical pain, I've never even broken any bone in me.

i hit my head on a metal railing when i fell off a fence and had a huge gash that required 21 stitches. that hurt pretty bad. another time i got bit on the finger by a moray eel and it got torn to ribbons. that hurt worse because of all the nerve endings on my fingertip i guess.

After I broke my wrist, the doc had to give me a shot to seperate bones which had constricted together. So he sticks me and pumps my wrist full of fluid way past the point where it felt my wrist should explode.

I was hauled out of work on a board and stretcher and taken to the hospital after I fucked up my muscle in my back lifting furniture. This happened last Sunday. Thank you LORD for pain killers and muscle relaxers.

Smashed in my face snow-boarding hurt pretty bad. But then again I was so fucked up it dosen't really hurt.

Blew my acl snowboarding, slipped on wet tile a few days after surgery. God I prayed for death felt like some one stabbed me in the knee about ten times.

I had a kidney stone... pretty terrible. I think yanking out part of a fingernail is more sharply painful, but kidney stone pain is like a fire in your lower back that is relentless and wears you down

Are you sure that was because of the test?

I had a kidney stone once too. That was pretty hardcore. I think my brain has just tried to erase the memory.

yeah, after that i was in total fear of it happening again, and i convinced myself that every little muscle ache was another stone.

Man what a nightmare. After a few hours waiting to see a doctor I pissed the damn thing out in the waiting room bathroom. Second I came out they called me in to see the Doc. Felt like punching him in the face.

Luckily the hospital made me a priority, but i still had to fill out that damn paperwork first. It's amazing how hard it is to remember your home address when a jagged chunk of calcium it tearing its way through your ureter.

here's a fun trip down memory lane:

Usually, the first symptom of a kidney stone is extreme pain. The pain often begins suddenly when a stone moves in the urinary tract, causing irritation or blockage. Typically, a person feels a sharp, cramping pain in the back and side in the area of the kidney or in the lower abdomen. Sometimes nausea and vomiting occur. Later, pain may spread to the groin.

If the stone is too large to pass easily, pain continues as the muscles in the wall of the tiny ureter try to squeeze the stone along into the bladder. As a stone grows or moves, blood may appear in the urine. As the stone moves down the ureter closer to the bladder, you may feel the need to urinate more often or feel a burning sensation during urination.

If fever and chills accompany any of these symptoms, an infection may be present. In this case, you should contact a doctor immediately.

I once grabbed a soldering iron by what I thought was the handle. Full one clutched the entire iron in my left hand.

My hand felt like it was throbbing "cartoon style," like when a character gets an anvil dopped on their hand and they turn red and throb eight times their original size.

Swab tests deep inside the urethra

Four fillings without getting any meds. Having to sit in the dentist chair trying to tell him but he would listen. I about punched the fucker out after he was done.

Horse ridding:

Go up a cliff side trail and getting stuck in a tree cause the horse bucked so i was about 6 feet off the ground. And really freaking close to the edge of the cliff then falling out of the tree almost falling off the cliff. That was a lot of fun. Hurt my back really bad.

Second Horse ridding trip.

Through a river in arizona the horse went nuts cause of some snakes in the water. I got bit once by the snakes and had to hold my breath the whole time while the horse was going nuts trying to get to the other side.

Getting shocked by a 220 replacing a fan.

Butterfly Iv's

Oh and getting shot up with a total of 18 bb's in my left and a few in the right leg.

There are a few more tings i remember but dont need to share.

When my friend was pulling me down the highway on my rollerbaldes behind his jeep. I let go and hell going about 35 or 40 and tore all the skin off my palms. I had to play pretty much my whole baseball season with no skin on my hands. Made batting a very painfull and bloody ordeal. I had to wrap each hand in a package of gause before the games. Spankin it was also much harder.......

Actually it was weird in my case because even though the Doc told me to expect burning the next time I took a piss...I didn't. It felt just like a normal piss, no burning/pain/anything.

My doc told me and it was baaaad because I couldn't even take a normal piss because I had to give a sample and I had to keep stopping and starting to make sure I wasn't filling the container up too much! LOL! Stop/start/burn/ouch.

I'm actually scared to go pee again....!

lol. BTW, you wouldn't be getting a STD test because of that thread you started a while back in regards to the rashes on your hands + soar throat would you?

EDIT: Also you never sent me pics, you bastard. :p

Yeah, my doctor said it probably wasn't an STD but I should go get a check up anyway. Apparently I have tonsilitis and she thought the rash was a side effect of that and the pills she gave me have started to take the rash away. It was probably a good idea to have a check up anyway, although it was a little scary when the guy at the clinic started going on about HIV and stuff :\

I don't get the results for another week though, pft.

In the shop, sorting out medical equipment for inspection, when we ran across an incomplete medkit. Totally useless, so everybody took what they wanted and marked the box for biohazard reclaimation. Which was illegal but since the Captain got first dibs *shifty eyes*... Some people got the morphine, some got the muscle relaxer, some got the 'jumpstart' chemical, others fought for the bandages (10 mile pack hike coming up; they're lifesavers on the feet), and I spotted a smelling salt tablet.

I always wondered how those things woke people up from a slight coma, so I decided to test it out. Right then and there.

Read the instructions.

Read the chemicals.

Broke it open.

Took a big whiff (unconscious people don't do that obviously)...

I saw red, I saw blue, I convulsed, gasped, clawed at my nose. My sinuses were flaring like the dragons of olde, my lungs stabbed at me from the hell I put them through, the snot flowed freely. My eyes were of no use for the next 2 minutes.

It was agony/seizure/soul possession in a capsule, and it was in front several people who could do naught but laugh. The torture finally abated, but I was a shell of a man for the rest of the day. With a clear nose, so that was a plus.

Don't sniff the salt.

When I was a child I used to be very "nervous". I was always moving and this caused my mother a lot of frightening moments. One of them was when I break my head (the forehead)...I didn't feel a lot of pain until the doctor began surgering it... I have broken my head a lot of times but that time was very painful...

But anyways the most painful time it was one day I fell and hit my knee. I didn't break it but it was painful...I went to the doctor and he said me I had some kind of liquid inside it and that it had to be extracted. You cannot imagine how it hurts that someone pushes a needle inside your knee (the bone)...It was so painful that they had to repeat it 3 times and with the help of two nurses (I was 6 year old)...

One time about eight years ago I was going through an angry phase ( I was about 15) and whenever I was realy really pissed Id punch a hole in a wall ( I know very descrutive and stupid ) anyway one day im arguing with a friend and I was fairly angry, so I turn around and punch the wall as hard as I can. *crunch* I hit the a god damn beam . I broke my third and fourht medicarple (sp) and dislocated both the bones in my hand behind the two knuckles that broke, which were sticking out the back of my hand. (almost thorugh the skin)

Of course I'm rushed to the hospital but, It was a sunday and I needed to see a specialist (who wouldn't be in till monday) so they give me Vicadin and a wrap and send me home, by the time the shock wore off I was in tremendous pain. It goes without saying that I did not sleep a wink that night....

*morale of the story* If your going to punch a wall check for beams....
 
I'm fuckin hardcore compared to you:

This Xray doesn't show everything... but 4 FUCKING FRACTURES on my left leg.

4 freakin metal bars goin through your skin. THAT'S HARDCORE.

I've lived though it and trust me, it's the worst thing that happened to me EVER.

Yeah, what you described didn't sound like an STD at all. But it's better to actually know for certain if you're clean instead of worrying over nothing.

What was the guy doing talking about HIV..? Didn't you say you had only 'fooled around' and not had actual unprotected sex? Hell even if you had oral the chances of getting HIV through that is less than 1%. (Slightly higher for receptive since there have been a few reported cases, none for insertive however.)

You should see my rooms door and my right hand...One is full of holes and the other full of scars...I don't usually hit doors/walls but the day I received THAT call I exploded.

When I was a child I had my fingers crushed (on two different occasions) between the front part of a car door and a car (the area where the door and car are connected.) On both occasions I couldn't even yell because of the pain so I was stuck there for around two minutes each time until my father realized something was wrong. My fingers/nails were black/purple after being removed and only returned two its normal color after a few days.

Yeah they asked for my sexual history and stuff and what I had done, I told him I had never had anal (giving or taking) and had just done oral and "mutual masturbation" but he still went on about HIV, probably just to "scare me" when I eventually do that kind of thing, although I'd never have unprotected anal sex, especially after all this! Still a little scary how he was like "you have to think if the outcome is positive how it will change your life forever" which I thought was really OTT. Just wish I didn't have to wait a whole week to find out the results, I'm a natural worrier, lol.

When I had my Spinal Taps (two of them), that was probably the worst pain I've ever had in my life. Not only did your spinal cord hurt something nasty, but other things would hurt to. First, you might get a terrible pain in your foot, the next in your arm, etc etc. Couple that with 2 weeks of grilling headaches afterwards, and it's up there as the worst feelings of all time. Basically, this picture tells you what it was all about:

another one is when I had gal-stones, eating something greesy gave me the most terrible stomache pains I've ever had. It would last for hours, enough to go the emergency room.
