I have a chronic illness that can cause a lot of pain. Specifically, I have had to go to the ER several times because I legitimately thought my appendix was about to burst. (It wasn't, but the doctors still told me it was good I had come in.)
I thought that was the worst pain(s) I had ever experienced. Then I had a kidney stone. My god. Gonna go hydrate now.
Nah, you're good. For unknown reasons federation between kbin and lemmy.ml in particular is just fundamentally broken right now. There is some talk about this on lemmy.ml , there are a couple of threads about this topic on kbin as well somewhere, the most popular here.
Essence: Lots of speculation, nobody knows for sure, participation on lemmy.ml hosted discussions from kbin seems to be impossible right now (I tried, to no avail), federation between kbin and other lemmy instances does not seem to be impacted to the same extent, if at all?
I stabbed myself in that soft spot on the hand, between the thumb and the finger you point with. That wasn't the painful part. I had to get stitches, they said the anesthesia injection would hurt as much as just having the stitches, so I agreed to do it without any anesthesia/painkiller or whatever you call those injections to numb the area.
That is the worst pain I've ever felt and I had to feel it twice, because as soon as I left the hospital, I let the hand hang down my side and the blood rushing there caused the stitch to loosen and blood to run out, so I went back inside and they grabbed both ends of the knot on the stitch with pliers and pulled to tighten them. That hurt so much that I actually made a little girly yelp that I've never heard myself make before or after.
The anesthesia does hurt quite a bit, probably that bad. But what they neglected to mention, the pain is only about 5 seconds. Sounds like you had more than 5 seconds of pain.
Years ago my grandfather cut his thumb and the doctor told him the same thing about the two or three stitches it would take to close it so he decided against.
I had to get my pointer finger frozen to stitch the nail back together. Fingers don't freeze like teeth. When they stuck the needle in to freeze it, it felt like someone grabbed my cuticle and ripped it back to my palm.
Blew myself up (long story) and the damaged skin had to be abraded (scrubbed) off of my arms. It’s quite amazing how many nerve endings you have in your skin and how angry your brain gets when the skin is torn off bit by bit. Your brain is similarly unhappy when there is no skin covering your insides.
I believe they gave me fentanyl for the pain. I don’t remember exactly, except it was iirc fairly new at the time (1997), administered in microgram doses, and one nurses job during the procedure was just to ensure that I didn’t stop breathing.
I have chronic pancreatitis. Some of the worst attacks were beyond imagination almost. Dilaudid is the only thing that helps and I've still been screaming in pain with it.
Appendicitis is the worst pain I've ever experienced. The three-ish hours from when the pain first started to when I got in the ambulance were horrific!
I was vomiting near constantly, to the point where I'd thrown up my stomach lining. I had complete tunnel vision, everything was black except the very centre of my field of view. I felt feverish, I sweat all over. Not to mention the physical pain. It was torture I wouldn't even wish on my worst enemy.
When the IV painkillers finally took effect, it was a relief I'd never known before. If I remember correctly I actually fell asleep for a bit, likely due to exhaustion from earlier.
I later learnt it'd gone septic too - scary stuf - but luckily some strong antibiotics and a surgery later, I was much better off. That experience only served to renew my appreciation for the NHS fir sure.
Lots of good suggestions in this thread already, but long ago I used to work at a company that sold second-hand stuff where we often had to deal with stubborn labels and I haven't seen our "nuclear option" mentioned yet. Brake cleaner, which is basically an organic solvent in a spray can, should be great on glass. Be careful with it, though, it melts some kinds of plastics. And ensure it's used in a well-ventilated area.
Try that if the usual GooGone type stuff doesn't work.
We also used WD40, it tended to be gentler on plastics. Though it left a greasy residue that we'd need to clean off afterward and it was pretty slow.
Back in the military, dental was covered. So I went with removal of 4 wisdom teeth - both sides, top and bottom. I was numbed for it, but the recovery for the next 4 days as brutal. 10/10 mindbending pain.
Oh they gave me vicodin when I had it done in the military... I remember trying to eat some ramen after a day or something and the pain with not even really chewing but trying to get the noodles down was ridiculous
