Experienced the worst pain I have ever felt today

today I had a steroid injection into my neck.  I do not wish this on my worst enemy.  Imagine a dentist accidentally touching a nerve ending fixing a cavity then multiple it by 100.  I was not sedated and given local anesthesia only.  they didn't go into the back, but through the side of my neck.  I had shock waves of pain coursing down my arm etc.

I hate to say this but it's going to be way worse tonight. 

My worse pains: 

Kidney stone x 4

pinched nerve in my neck that registered a 9-10 level pain in 90 second intervals at random for a week. 

a check for spinal meningitis with a freaking horse needle administered before the locals kicked in. He missed on his first 2 attempts. They forgot to strap me down and I kicked the nurse in the face. It left me with permanent nerve damage. 

Hope yours turns out better than mine did.

Could be cancer, might want to have that checked out.

I lost my toenail after I dropped a bowling ball on my foot.  Broke my big toe and it turned black, then the nail fell off.  It took a long time to grow back...can't remember the exact time frame but it was like a year I think.  After it grew back I kicked a cardboard box in my house that I thought was empty.  Turned out it was full of books.  Broken toe again, and nail fell off again.

i don't know what happened exactly, it just got really swollen one day... infected i think. the nail got really fugged up and yellow by the cuticle, and finally died. the nail has been slowly growing off my nail bed ever since, without a replacement. it actually look perfectly normal, but it weirds me out so i'm gonna be pissed if i don't grow one back.

Stop projecting your life experience onto me.

I stepped on a broken glass beer bottle while playing football on the beach when I was about 10 years old. The cut was on the underside of my big toe and went as deep as the bone. My dad carried me as a bloody mess down to the water to rinse it out with salt water. I proceeded to go to the ER and they administered the anesthesia with a big needle and stuck that needle into the open wound while my dad held me down on the table. Once I was numbed up completely they used a toothbrush to scrub out the sand and stitched me up. 7 stitches in total and I have a nice scar these days.

Worst pain of my life. I was biting down on a pillow while the infection was being scrubbed off with rubbing alcohol or whatever it is corpsmen use. It probably went on for about 5 minutes but it felt like hours. The brush felt like a BBQ grill wire brush.

As to whether it grew back, yes, but it is still infected 7 years later.

Really shitty story on how it happened in Afghanistan......both my nails got infected from my combat boots (2009) so I had them both removed so they were open and raw. I went to take a shower but all the stalls were taken so I waited for the first guy to get out...a local ANA (Afghan National Army) soldier runs out of the shower giggling and I just thought it was weird but they're all weird. I hop in the shower, it's dark can't see crap and the water is about ankle high thanks to the drains being blocked up. I finish showering, turn the water off and open the curtain. I take a whiff and it smells like poo. I look down, and I was standing in a shower full of poo. The local ANA guy took a poo and took off. I learned to look for poo when I take a shower now :-/

Gross....

I don't know why but I would much rather watch things come out than go in. I could watch those pimple, zit popping videos all day.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
