Why do I keep coming back and looking at the replies? I cringe every time.

 

I ruptured a disc as well (L5S1) pinched a nerve and it sounds like I experienced the same thing you did with the pain down the left leg. It definately is on the list of **** that sucks. I was in the Navy at the time, took nearly a year before they'd do surgery. They wouldn't give me the good pain killers since they would disqualify me from my job either. Was stuck with motrin and tylenol.

But worse than that experience was when i was about 16. I was laying on the couch watching TV when my overexcited girlfriend came over. She ran into the the living room and jumped on the couch. Well her hip pinched my junk up against my pelvis. She ended up halfway across the living room, and I ended up in the emergency room. Bruised *********, a weeks worth of percaset (sp?), weeks worth of rest and icing my favorite body part.

For the record I broke up with her 2 days later....

 

cracked me up and scared me too

 

1) Broken back in 3 places.

2) Broke every bone in my foot.

3) Kidney Stones.

 

Oh Neighbor........... Where are you????
Some of my worst pain comes from laughing too hard at Mountaineers threads!

 

Man how could I forget...wow that hurt.

Never had something that put me on the ground even when I didnt want to.

 

OMG........I would be so freaking out!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

think gods curse on man has to be the tooth ache on holiday in the dominican 2nd day into a 14 day trip

 

I challenge that. I've talked to women that said passing a kidney stone was 10x worse than childbirth. I can't say that I would know personally.

I fell off a roof (25 ft.) and landed dead on my anus over a baseball sized rock. I screamed like a little girl 'til I passed out. I broke my ankle and over-extended my knee at the same time... and didn't even notice it. I couldn't walk for 3 weeks; and, it wasn't due to the leg injuries. Sitting was a challege for even longer. I mash a finger, or bang my shin, and barely notice it after that day.

 

prince albert, and 3 part jacobs ladder.... as soon as the 3 has healed, it will be 6. kinda sick i guess, the worst pain i have been thru i chose to go thru

 

Do I want to google this....

BRB


OMG....uh....I want an erase on my mind

 

It was really bad

 

What the hell is pleurisy?

 

Imagine a 8" butcher knife thrust into your chest. Its not a heart attack. It was a much sharper pain. I was told by a nurse in the ER ( Cause thats where I went a 1 am ) that your lungs have a layer on them that allows them to slide in your chest. Like for when you breathe. Well Pleurisy is the removal of that layer caused by something.

WedMD says : Pleurisy, also called pleuritis, is an inflammation of the pleura, which is the moist, double-layered membrane that surrounds the lungs and lines the rib cage. The condition can make breathing extremely painful, and sometimes it is associated with another condition called pleural effusion where excess fluid fills the area between the membrane's layers.



The double-layered pleura protects and lubricates the surface of the lungs as they inflate and deflate within the rib cage. Normally, a thin, fluid-filled gap -- the pleural space -- allows the two layers of the pleural membrane to slide gently past each other. But when these layers become inflamed, their roughened surfaces rub painfully together like two pieces of sandpaper with every breath, sneeze, and cough.

In some cases of pleurisy, excess fluid seeps into the pleural space, resulting in pleural effusion. This fluid buildup usually has a lubricating effect, relieving the pain associated with pleurisy as it reduces friction between the membrane's layers. But at the same time, the added fluid puts tremendous pressure on the lungs, reducing their ability to move freely and causing shortness of breath. In some cases of pleural effusion, this excess liquid can become infected.

 

Maybe we should start a thread....."Best feeling you ever experienced?
