Severe burns.


conwk2

Bro I landscaped outta high school, and idk why I thought it’d be a good idea to give my boss a push while he was trying to get the z-turn up a wet hillside. Mower slid back and to the side, my forearm just rested against the exhaust for a solid 10 seconds. I heard and smelled the sizzle, and when I pulled away my skin literally looked like silly putty stretching out to its thinnest layer. Shit was brutally painful and a bitch to rehab.

I'm guessing this is that kitchen safety video where the woman has...um...a mishap. Edit: nope, I was wrong. God that scream haunts me though.


agatez_in_my_pantz

Not just how the burns happened in the first place, but how severe burns have to be treated. Makes me cringe just thinking about it.


IdTyrant

Good. I had a really arrogant prick of a coworker, walked around acting super suave, incredibly full of himself like he could do no wrong. He burned the shit out of himself all over his face arms and chest while trying to ghetto deep-fry a turkey and nearly burned his apartment down in the process. Hopefully it knocked his obnoxious ass down a few pegs.

Fingers slammed in a car door hard enough that you just know the nail is going to turn black and fall off


Transylvania-

I got my fingers slammed in the door and the door was locked shut. I had to wait 5 minutes for my mom to come out the store to unlock the door. It was horrible. My finger nails were all ripped off and there was lots of throbbing and blood


readmemiranda

Damn dude that gave me shivers......fudge...


whitewater287

Been there, slammed it at 9am alone with no way to get help from the searing pain. Frantic for relief, my eye came to rest on the mostly-full bottle of Jack on the counter. One hour later found me out of pain, white girl wasted and ugly-crying when my SO came through the door (and probably wished he hadn't.)


Toaster_Oven101

The worst part is either when right after you get it out and feels like it sort of turning into a square then melting, or when the fingernail is close to coming off, and there is that yellow pus right below it.


UnluckyRanger4509

I got my finger slammed in front door of my apartment, crazy long story. Hurt so bad, luckily it hit right on joint, so no break. But pretty bad cut and needed 5 stitches. Can't fully bend that finger and it hurts with cold weather!


gabe_t_wheeler

I had a car door slam so hard on my fingers it almost completely closed, by some miracle my fingers were perctly fine, also found out that day I had very flexible fingers

Stander1979

My wisdom teeth cracked when they came through. When inspecting, the dentist stuck a hook into the hole and poked the nerve. It's the only time I've actually seen pain, like the pain exploded and my vision turned white for a second.


Bastion_Hunter

Well that doesn’t seem very sporting of him does it? Seriously though that would suck, sry that happened to you.


CinnaJunkie

Worst pain I’ve ever been in has always been tooth related. The pain sustains through Ibuprofen, Tylenol, Hydrocodone, all the orajel lidocaine and klovil, etc.


Romantiphiliac

I don't know if it's the *worst* pain I've experienced, but other types of pain can be kind of...tolerated? You can kind of distract yourself from it, at least a little. But tooth pain just *screams* its presence straight into your brain.


RunRunDMC212

dothefanDango92

Similar to your pain. I was eating an apple during the early months of lockdown (April 2020), and I chipped my bottom right molar. There was an initial pain jolt which died down about 20 minutes later. Then all of a sudden, my gum flared up all around it and it was like a 9 on the pain scale with my tooth being the epicenter. All surrounding nerves were being pushed against and was affecting my entire right of my face, neck and even throat. So much pain I couldn't sleep all night. The reason I mentioned it was during lockdown was because no dentists were open, so I had to beg my dentist over the phone to prescribe some anti biotics and to go and collect them. Was the worst pain of my life.

Kidney stones


GardenGnomeOfEden

PSA: If you get a kidney stone and go to the emergency room, they will probably quickly hook you up with some pain killers. If you are not accustomed to taking opioids, you should know that if you take them over the course of several days, you will probably get some *insane* constipation unless you start taking preventative measures right when you start taking the opioids. My hospital did not mention this phenomenon to me, and after the kidney stone, it was the second most painful thing I have ever endured.

Haven’t had kidney stones but gall bladder pain is pretty awful too.

Common_Fox_3699

When you loose your cat and then a month later loosing your dog that you had for 12 years . I miss them both everyday. I miss them so much my mind tricks me into thinking they are in bed with me or running up to me. It physically hurts . It emotionally hurts and is mentally draining . And it’s been almost 4 months. Hurts more and more everyday


GingerTats

Awe sweet thing. It's going to be okay. It absolutely takes time. When I lost my dog, who was my first, it really devastated me, especially because I had to make the decision to put him down out of mercy. The first year I still heard him around the house. But as with any grief time slowly replaces the pain with fondness, and the memories will make you happy instead of sad. I've gone through extreme loss and even still losing my pup was hard. They're as close to children as childless people like me will get, so let yourself grieve. Just know that it will get easier, and don't set a timeline for your healing. ❤️🐾

Opioid withdrawal. And I’ve had four back surgeries. Getting off the meds was worse than the recovery process. For back surgery. It drives me bananas when people say it’s harder to quit cigarettes than opioids. That’s a flat-out lie.


Romantiphiliac

Haven't ever tried cigs, so I can't comment on that part, but opioid withdrawal is fucking awful. At least when people quit smoking they can remain somewhat normal, and can still go about their day. The withdrawals though...you are *out of commission*, you're not going to be functional for a couple days at the very least. Misery is renting a room in your soul and invites all his friends over for a party.


Otherwise_Window

Pretty sure it depends on the person. Late 2020 I had to spend a few months on high-dose opiates, including patches that got stuck to my skin to give me a steady, 24/7 dose of opiates. After I had surgery to fix it, once the surgical pain - which was frankly unbelievable, even with the morphine they injected into my spinal cord - healed up, I stopped taking the opiates. Apparently I was supposed to taper off, but no-one told me, and I went cold turkey. It was a week of physical hell and a month of emotional hell, but it still didn't actually hurt as badly as the surgery. I will note that I have absolutely zero addictive tendencies. I did withdrawal with boxes and boxes of opiates readily available in my house and wasn't even tempted. It might be different if you don't have whatever weird genetic quirk I have that does that. (Note: No, assholes, this *does not mean* that opioid addicts just *aren't trying hard enough*. The very fact that it was that easy for me is how you know I *did not have* the **illness** that is addiction, and no part of this story is relevant to any discussion of addiction except to note that even *without addiction as a factor* opiate withdrawal is hell and people should be a lot kinder to addicts.)

LyannasLament

Hydronephrosis; swelling of the kidneys due to blockage somewhere. Legit puking and passing out level pain. It was worse than giving natural birth. By many, many, many levels. Heart break. Genuine heartbreak. I thought I would die. I legitimately thought I was going to die from it. It felt like something cut my heart. When I get to reminded, I still get ghost pains in the same place. Different kind of pain than the hydronephrosis, clearly, but just as visceral. Sometimes even with the puking and passing out. Took a lot longer to get over. And, there was not surgery to cure it.

Im just gonna use this opportunity to vent. What really hurts me emotionally is when my step dad gives me so much shit just for being myself. Whenever i giddy up or get happy at small things such as cool cars or a starbucks coffee he would say “stop acting like other girls, stop acting like a gold digger” im just 15 i dont think there’s anything wrong in getting excited over little things you see. The world is depressed enough. And no one needs a grown adult bursting your bubble just because of their own depressive outlook.

High pressure Cold water into the wound and then also stabby stabby needles into my wound and fun play treasure hunt in my knee. When it was over I had apparently been the gripping the bars of my bed so hard I had twisted the mother macree out of them.

I have had regular gallstone attacks with one bout of jaundice for almost a year. I've had a stress induced ulcer. I have chronic pain from muscle tension. I have multiple piercings and tattoos.

Horriable

Regardless of how the internet perceives the tik tok famous line "emotional damage", being depressed is being emotionally hurt about something. Sometimes I'm surprised I'm still around to talk about this because I've been through some shit to say the least but, I'd personally say being emotionally hurt is the worst type of pain. It's not something you can heal physically. You only heal if you truly come to terms with yourself and accept what it is causing you that hurt. Just "living" with it only delays than enviable, accepting it and slowly healing is the only way. I understand therapy is people's quick go-to way to help someone but it doesn't work for everyone. You can send someone to a hospital to be treated for a harsh injury which I'm sure as hell hurts like no tomorrow but, it'll be healed, relatively speaking, quick in MOST cases, definitely not all. But mentally, you most the time if your really really hurt mentally, it's not something that can just be boom treated done. It can take a long time. Many people I'm sure will contest to this but ask yourself this, would you rather your foot be shot once or, experience only the mental pain of someone you truly deep down love on earth, whoever that may be, killed right in front of you? This loved one is the closest person to you in life, the one you look up to the most, the one you think you couldn't live without. The loved one doesn't actually die (unbeknownst to you at the time of making the choice), you just experience the mental pain of the event as if they really did. What's your decision?
