Have you ever had that painful moment(s) that you will never forget.

Tell the story of what happened.

one of my friends said i want to try to knock off a branch with a croquet ball. but my brother warned him the ball bounced off the tree and hit me in the side of the head.

I've had a few.

Been hit by 5 cars, fallen 2 stories (it was a retaining wall. one side not too far, the other 2 stories), had to pass a total of 3 kidney stones where the largest was 1/4 inch in diameter, suffered a heat stroke during my old high school's production of "Wizard of Oz" (I was the Tinman) where I also suffered a minor concussion, bruised my spinal cord, and of course passed out for around 15-30 minutes (i can never get a correct time since I was out of it). That one was "fun". Imagine being 16 and wearing stage make-up called "Ghost Grey" with black stripes for the jaw line and black dot on tip of nose. when your not a goth. I got some strange looks.

i also got my left thumb smased in a car door

Back in 1993 I worked for Pizza Hut as a delivery driver, and one night I was shot in front of the store. I tool a .38 to the lower leg at point blank range, and did not feel it (I was lucky that I have very thick legs, and it went through muscle). Getting shot did not hurt as much as it did in the days and weeks later.

not so much of painful moments but embarrassing moments.

MBhockeyfan33, I can relate. I got my left middle finger (the entire finger) smashed by the front driver's side door on a 1979 Ford F-250 and had to pull the sucker out because the door wouldn't open. The door closing hurt, but the pulling hurt worse.

(mind if I ask how you got your thumb out?)

i think i opened the door still hurt.

"not so much of painful moments but embarrassing moments."
I completely agree!!!

Mine was not too long ago. It was the last day of school and on the last class of the day. I was in Computer Graphics class. I just finished my exam and I decided to finish up the rest of the projects I made. I had them on the foam board and the next thing to do was to cut them. So I got the utility knife and started cutting. The past 7 weeks nothing happened to me, but when I was the middle of doing this cutting, my finger got in the way. My finger was cut badly. So I went to the teacher to show him. Then he brought me to the school nurse. She wasn't there, so they had to get the health teacher. He came and saw it and said that I had to get stitches. So I had to get picked up to go to the hospital. First they checked on it to make sure, they said, "Yeah, that's going to need stitches". Then another doctor came in. He made solution to put my finger in. Then about 10 minutes later, another doctor came in to take x-rays of my finger, to make sure I didn't hit the bone. Then another doctor came in to put on the stitches. He had to put on the stuff that makes your finger numb, but it was to risky to put it on the edge of my finger where it was cut. So he got something called block that works the same way. Then he did some quick tests to make sure its working. When I started to feel nothing he started. But things got worse. The block, for some reason, went away, so I had to feel every stitch going in. Might be the most painful 2 minutes of that day. Thankfully it was only 3 stitches.

Talk about a last day of school.

This one is one of my worst a non at fault car accident last november.

I got hit on the drivers side of my car, sending me over the median strip into the path of a fully laden truck.

only bruised from the seatbelt but very lucky.

In in australia so the drivers side on the car is the side fortunatelt least affected.

Welcome back bigmorry, you were quite lost a lot of time from this forums. Don't tell me that you got bored hanging here on this MB chat board ? What's going on, are you totally recovered from that crashed ?

Its been a while since i was last on as i moved housee and cannot get an adsl conection so i had to go back to dialup internet, so it takes about 2-3 minutes just to bring up each page, so needless to say i don't come here much anymore.

As far as the accident goes i have a scar on my left leg from the dashboard but that is my only lasting reminder of the day, i was off work for about 3 weeks after as i had strained my back, needless to say it could have been a lot worse.

I was playing hide and seek and I was running towards home base, someone else was running to get there first, we collided and his front teeth went into my forehead. I still have a little divit on my forehead (almost a 'camel toe'...hopefully that's not a trigger word 'coz it's no the dirty kind). Funny thing is that the same kid (I don't know if this was before or after) was hitting golf balls (he was a few years older than me) in the field. He told me 'you stand there because if I swing this around I don't want to hit you'...and I know I didn't move so either he did, or misjudged but all I can remember about THAT time (got it in the eye) was the noise it made! I don't remember the pain 'til afterwards. Luckily, this was back in the days where parents didn't sue each other for their kids' playground mishaps. In spite of it being the same kid who split my head and made me bleed twice, my mother didn't fall out with his mother.

I think the most painful thing I had in my adult life was a strep infection in my spine. I have had two major abdominal surgeries and neither of those hurt as bad as that infection.

I imagine breaking my leg hurt more than I felt but I was alone and in the middle of nowhere when it happened so I had to walk for awhile so my body took over and blanked out the pain so I could walk.

The most painnful moment I can remember was in spring a few years ago. I was on my way back home from our local library on an old Harly Davidson. I was going around 55 mph and was just about to hit a curve in the road, so I started to use the breaks. Unfortunately the breaks weren't working very good do to rust that had built up during the winter, and I was unable to make the curve. The worst part was I live near a lot of farms with barbed wire fences. I scraped across about 20 feet of those fences and was left with more than a dozen deep gashes all over my body.

About 3 months ago, I had been sick for like two days and had been running a very high fever. I never call off work no matter what and I kept going no matter what my body said.

Well, at about 2pm on a Thursday, I went to the door to go have a cig and let my body get some fresh air. I passed out and collapsed right in front of my boss and while I was passed out, I threw up. Luckily, he was more upset that I hadn't gone home to get well, than he was about me throwing up in the office.

What a horrible day that was.

I have a medical problem with both of my knees which makes it very easy to dislocate them, and that's what happened last night while taking out the garbage. I was walking and they just popped out. It hurts like hell.
