glad you survived that one

Needing a root canal on Sunday evening. I've done that twice, first time in 1985, second in 2017. In 1985 I went to an Army hospital ER which was 25 minutes from the base we lived in (USForces Germany), but they couldn't do anything for me except to get a dentist out of bed to open up his clinic at the base I lived on. I got an emergency root canal. In 2017 I had oil of cloves on hand, it works! I was able to fall asleep and call the dentist when they opened to get a root canal.

Collapsed vertebrae pinching sciatic nerve, had to 'walk' taking small steps and dragging left leg behind me at an angle. I could only go about 50 ft before I had to sit down. 2 months like this where every movement caused a severe sharp pain in lower back, most times severe enough to make you collapse and/or suck in air. Even breathing hurt, literally.
Bi-level fusion a year ago (today is the anniversay date) of L3-L4-L5 fixed most of it. I've been told I had better results than most people, at least I can walk now!!
My burst appendix was close, it was more intense, but that pain only lasted a few hours.

Hmm, physically, it would have to have been when I was involved in a bicycle accident as a child. I went ass over teakettle, got a nasty shiner (but no concussion) and lots of scrapes and bruises from it. I remember having to remain awake for a certain amount of time (late into the evening) out of concern over a concussion and watching The Incredible Mr. Limpett on TV. LOL!

Emotionally, two things. The first was having to watch how my daughter looked coming out of what was considered to be fairly serious surgery for someone her age (5). I don't think she was every in any real danger. The surgery was for removal of her tonsils and adenoids, and also widening of her sinus cavities (and I can only imagine how that was actually done). When she came out of the surgery she looked like she had been hit by a bus. Her face looked badly bruised. It just broke my heart to see her like that. Again, it was just my reaction to her shocking appearance. I hate seeing children suffer and seeing her like that, well. The other emotional pain has to do with heartbreak and I can't share it in detail here, but I feel emotional pain from it to this day.

Kidney stones and gout don’t know which is worse

Diverticulitis attack was the worst pain, rolling around in bed and loudly moaning. Severe gout hurts like hell, and rivaled the diverticulitis pain. And of course abcess teeth. Sheesh, I've been through some pain, but not right now. All my best to the folks who are in intense pain right now.

bowel obstruction with necrotic intestinal tissue that had to be resectioned. it hurt so bad I was guiding the gastric nasal tube down my throat myself to get relief.

I had a nasty car accident were I was tee boned in my driver's side door. My right leg was severely sprained, my left leg was broken in two places, I had a mild concussion, and every rib on my left side was broken. Broken ribs hurt!

I dislocated and cracked my kneecap. It was so painful I was screaming and, apparently, turning rather alarming colours.

Mentally was losing a certain dog made me break down for days. physically breaking 3 toes and a bone in my foot

I don't do well with anaesthetic, it just doesn't work well with me, last year I had eye surgery and I could still feel it a bit, when I was 14 I had my sinuses scraped without any working anaesthetic.
I have been stung by irukandji jelly fish twice, bitten by red back spiders 3 times.
Nothing compares to walking on a stonefish. Seriously, nothing comes close. And sadly I was stung within about 100 meters of where I now live, so there is a chance it may happen again.

Driving home after a root canal and the anesthetic wore off. Pushing up against the roof of the car in pain just trying to make it home. Dented the roof of the car. Laid in bed with an ice pack on my cheek for hours after.
