most painful experiences (graphic pics)

[waruikazi]

Got an infected finger. 2 weeks of excruciating pain (morhpine didn't even work), 6 days in hospital and 3 months later my dominant index finger has no feeling.

That's the stuff nightmares are made of! Does the old fella still work?!?!? I hope you got a big ol' victims of crime payout for that one!

The mods on here wont let me post pics, but there are some on here that can attest to my story.

Back in 1988, whilst riding my motorcycle back from a physio appointment (from a prior bike accident) I had the misfortune to meet a car that was doing a runner from the cops (DUI) The car crested a hill and tokk a L/H corner so fast that it slid into my lane hitting me head-on. I left the bike, smashed through the windscreen (breaking the drivers kneck) hit the back of the wagon with so much force that it opened the tail gate spilling me onto the road only to be struck by the pursuing police car. Wash up was, I tore my old fella off (re-stitched with micro surgery) splatted one of me nuts (replaced with a silicone one) broke my pelvis, tib & fib in 5 places, femur, R/H wrist, R/H arm, and fractured my skull.

3 months in a Coma, another 3 months in a bed before I could walk, and 4 months of re-hab saw me out of hospital in time for X-mass. I have had 17 operations since and still ride my beloved bikes. My scars are interesting, and win me lots of bets down the pub.

Regards Lofty

When i was 10 in 1970,flared jeans were the go. I was kicking up the ash dust from a bushfire from a couple of days earlier when all of a sudden the ground collapsed under me and i fell into a smouldering stump hole up past my knees. AND i was wearing rubber gum boots, no socks thankfully. Ash went up my flared jeans and fell back down into my boots. Needless to say i was badly burnt from my knees down. The soul of my right foot remained in the boot which was kept for many years as a "show off" item. I nearly lost that foot but luckily didn`t. At 51 i still carry some heavy duty scares on both feet and ankles. Oh yeh, it was me that started the fire in the first place too!!

Snapped two metacarpal bones in my hand clean in half and cracked a third.

Wasn't too painful, but cool xrays.

I've got very weak knees so any sport that involves the twisting of legs (such as my beloved basketball) very rapidly dislocates my kneecaps. Generally tears something to some degree when it happens, and I'm another 3 weeks on crutches. Hurts a lot initially then wears off, but over 30-40 times it's happened by now I'd say it counts based on aggregate pain.

Also had the experience of a lumbar with not fully seeded anesthetic when I was 11 or 12, that was a very trippy into very painful experience.

Worst though is a harmless and painless initial accident mountain biking on my knee. Doctors thought I'd simply hurt it, nothing was wrong. After a month on crutches and the pain building I went back to the hospital and very luckily ran into a knee specialist, who immediately saw that I'd torn out my Posterior Cruciate Ligament. Surgery a day or two later and some nasty drugs kicked off 10 months of crutches, for a total of 11 months on crutches. That in effect hurt more than the actual accident. I still don't have feeling in the skin on the back of my left knee thanks to damaged nerves because of the surgery.

And none of it comes even close to losing the ball & tackle.

Not so much gore as all the damage was internal. About 23cm long all up.

From the 'I can't believe this happened to me' archives. (The same archive that has the infamous 'I dropped a jar of Arnica on my toe' disaster in it.)

I borrowed a weed eater one day. The heavy nylon line type. Gave the spool head a tap on the ground (while spinning - as you are SUPPOSED to...) to release more cutting line. (Mistake #1). It released more line all right. I had just rewound 2 metres of line onto the spool (mistake #2) Unbelievably all two metres of it came out in 0.65 seconds. There was like a really fast "thwap thwap thwap thwap" and there I was standing there going... "Why is my leg suddenly hurting?"
The line was old and brittle, (mistake #3) so the trimmer conveniently cut the two meter length into tiny pieces around 3cm long, and flung them all straight at my bare (mistake #4) leg at warp speed. My generous coating of mangora hair did nothing to shield me from the attack.
I was completely stunned. Still, it was worth it if it brings a smile to your face....NOOOOOOT...

(ps. Why do these things always happen to me?)

ohhhh, some of those stories are sick!!! ( but I like )

Especially the one with his old fella! God I dont think I will ever ride my bike again after reading that story!!! grrr!

My story is more funny then grose..but yeah very painful!!!

I decided to clean our ducted heating vent covers one day and took them all off and gave them a good scrub in the bath and left them to dry. And yes I totaly forgot about them.

Late at night after having a glass or two of wine I run into the study to get a pen and stepped right into the ducted hole! I went crushing to the floor, with one leg in the hole to my thigh and the other thank god, went flat on the floor.

The problem was that I was stuck and couldn't get out! After I finished laughing at my own stupidity and crying from the pain...I started screaming for my sleeping husband, but ofcourse a bomb could have gone off and he would still sleep through it!!!

Lucky for me, there was a bottle of hand cream at my reach so I squized it in and after about 20 minutes managed to get my leg out!!! Nothing broken thank god but up to this day - 4 years later - I still have a dent in my thigh where my leg got stuck :lol:

And yes I will never clean the vents again!!!

I compound fractured my tibia and fibular.. Though sadly I lack photgraphic evidence!
I will post some pictures of the x-ray of my broken humerus when I find them! Though that didn't hurt nearly as much as the leg, and certainly wasn't funny!

Got my appendix out as a kid but, the doctor was dodgy and "supposedly" had to remove the majority of my intestines to remove it, I have a scar going from my side to just under my belly button. 2 days later was back in hospital urinating blood and it turns out he bent the tube from the kidney to the bladder. Had a second operation to fix his mistake and all up including recovery I was off for 6 weeks instead of a couple of days.

the standard recovery period is 6wks...even if you had keyhole. the body needs time to adjust that you've had something removed, start to heal where the incisions are and get back to normal.

at the 6wk mark you normally go back for post-op check of the wound site and to get the pathology results from the doctor.

i had my appendix out in 2009 after 2 trips to emergency and being told i had muscle strain, UTI then i was finally believed and when they got me into theatre found i had a gangrenous appendix that broke in half just as they took it out. i was told any longer and i would have had to have dialysis to get rid of the toxins that cause your kidneys to shut down.

i used to be accident prone but thankfully grew out of it.
when i was about 4 ( back in the late 1970s ) i was on the parcel carrier on the back of a push bike and my leg got caught on the back wheel breaking my ankle and my leg in a couple places was in a cast from toes to the top of my leg. i remember them taking the first cast off and there was this mess of rancid green oozing flesh was nasty ...same leg when i was around 10 years old went through our glass front door and i had 48 stitches inside my leg and 53 outside my leg and nw have a scar from just above my ankle to beside my knee kinda shaped like an s on the inside of the leg . we had 12ft high ceilings when i was growing up and i pulled my leg out the glass opened the door and ran through the house screaming getting blood all up the walls and over the ceiling was great! ( now thinkning back anyway at the time i was freaking) and i dont think my grandmother ever forgave me for bleeding ALL over the hallway and kitchen and back prch where my parents were..oh also managed to slice my middle finger open at the same time and that hurt like anything and i coiuldnt feel my leg at all but could see most the bone the ER docs were impressed lol

No good pics to go with the story but 6 months ago I had a trench cave in while I was walking past it. I fell about 2m landing on my back. That wasn't too bad but the 85kg wacker packer that came in after me landing on my wrist was. The useless bloke I was working with just stood there watching. Didn't help get the wacker off, didn't help me out (had to climb out with one hand) didn't call anyone (no transport). I called the foreman was is a good mate. He ran me to the hospital. While at the hospital they gave me a handfull of pills to help with the pain, don't know what they were and I didn't care at the the time. 20ish minutes after downing the pills I felt like my stomach and chest had been torn open, was having breathing difficulties and was feeling pretty miserable. I was told I'd have to put up with it til the drugs wore off which took a few hours.

 

[Trench]

i was dropped on my head on a trampoline and my head was thrown forward and My sternum snapped.. doctor says it only snapped to stop my spine from breaking

Mum thought i had just Bruised a rib so she sent me off to school for the next week.. every time i would laugh it would kill i ended up crying and laughing at the same time... Eventually the school nurse said to get an x-ray.. took about two or three trips to the doctor to get him to get x-Rays he said he would bet me $100 its not broken.. (because people who break there sternum are ment to be in intensive care)... turns out it was a clean snap.. the doctor wouldn't stop apologizing lol.. so i had a few tests done and turns out i dont fell pain like normal people... lol.. so now if i feel anything Unusually painful i have to go to the doctors...

Would post pics of x-rays but i dont have a digital version

Darlinghurst Sydney
I was installing an alarm system and 40ft up a ladder
An old drunk grabbed the bottom of the ladder and walked away
Broke my instep and 5 other bones in left foot
Dislocated shoulder
5 broken ribs
Concussion
No0one would help because blood everywhere [aids panic time 1985]
Flagged a taxi to Hospital
They thought I was just some doper and I waited 5 hours before even being seen
Had to cut my shoe and shirt off because swelling was so bad
Straight into emergency and operations

Worst bit was next morning
No free beds so put me in the psych ward
Nurses there thought I was a nutter when I woke up hurting all over
So no painkillers until following day

But then they put me on self medication
Next few days were just a happy blur
