Experienced the worst pain I have ever felt today

[chknwing]

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.

My worst pains:

Kidney stone

Ingrown toenail removal

Sternum tattoo

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.

Dislocated shoulder. It was so painful it hurt for weeks.

Removed both big toe nails and had to get them scrubbed down raw without anesthesia after infection to both

fugggg i cried just reading this.

did they grow back? i recently fuged up my thumb and lost the nail and two months later i don't have a new nail peeking out yet, which is pretty worrisome

With mine, they gave me anesthesia but the doc forgot about me. By the time he got back, and ripped my nail off, the effect had faded. They put some sort of chemical in the nail bed that prevents a new one growing back.

I got road rash once. They had to pick the asphalt out of my arms and legs for 3 hours with no pain killers. That hurt like a mofo.

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.
