Nobody said heart yet? A broken heart will make you very miserable.

GTFO!

A very large abscess where the sun shines not. Coupled with a doctor with fingers like a welder and the treatment of packing and unpacking it with a dressing I can safely say lead to the worst 4 days of my life so far. Proper eye watering. Also was a test case at the teaching hospital so I had an audience for my pain.
No serious injuries but I had genuine flu once and felt awful, I couldn't believe how much I slept.
Also got bad food poisoning on my first trip to ****stan from melted and re-frozen ice cream. I was amazed at how much hot water could come out of both ends of the body, simultaneously. I guess I should have been in hospital on a drip, looking back on it now, but all I did was drink some black tea and go out to work the next day, feeling absolutely wretched.
The worst pain i can think of recently was a few days after having my ACL reconstructed last month. At the point the anaesthetic had worn off and the codeine seemed to making little or no difference, this coupled with the fact I'd had very little sleep in 3 days meant that I just broke down to tears whilst trying to put clignfilm on the dressings for a shower. All the blood rushing to my leg made it feel like it was going to explode. That was a worse pain than the initial ACL rupture or the dislocated patella, they had just felt like a bad growing pain.
The few weeks after were fairly miserable, led around unable to do much apart from pretty painful physio exercises. Feeling a lot better a month in though now I can walk and move about again.
GTFO!
Oooh tough guy 😆
BTW I've had kidney stones. They were awful, a level worse than toothache, and they had me crawling along the floor, but nowhere near the level of pain I had as Guillain-Barre destroyed parts of my nervous system.
Just need a bigger stone. Or actually not. Really not.
(Can't be in Guillan-Barre territory as I usually self medicate mild cases with codeine and whimpering, but like asteroid strikes one day I'm due a biggy and I'm not looking forward to it. As my GP cheerfully informed me, once a stone thrower, always a stone thrower!)

How did you dislocate it out of interest?

I was playing rugby and kind of step/twisted off my right foot. The foot stayed planted and the rest of me twisted. Tbh it didn't even cross my mind that that's what I'd done, I heard and felt a crack obviously and immediately assumed I'd torn my ligaments given the movements involved. The physio came on, put my leg flat and flicked it back in place before she'd even told me what I'd done. It was probably only out of place for about 2 mins tops. Hence why the pain wasn't maybe as bad as those described earlier in the thread, like most dislocations I imagine the quicker you get it in the better. There was no impact involved either which I imagine reduced the pain.
Genuinely, hangover. Short duration and no lasting effects but while it lasts it was [i]way [/i]worse than breaking my hip or exploding my ACL or dislocating my ankle then stepping on the dislocated foot. They're all physical, just electrical pulses, but a proper hangover is the breaking of the soul
Aomebic dysentry for 3 with only a cold squat toilet to use, very very dehydrated, that then led to typhoid and a lot of pain around appendix and other internal areas. 7 days on a drip, and a good few months to get back to full strength.
