Rainbows, in What’s a place from your childhood that doesn’t exist anymore?

Those wooden playgrounds. There was one I went to all the time as a kid. It was so much fun and had all kinds of rooms and nooks and crannies to play in. It got replaced with a generic plastic playground at some point, I think for safety reasons.

I had a pulmonary embolism about 2 years ago, absolutely awful. The fun part was after I went home from the hospital and coughed up a blood clot.

Extreme gallbladder attack. I'd gone through a few in the months prior, and while excruciating, I wouldn't call unbearable. The last one though? The one that put me in hospital and required emergency surgery that day due to risk of rupture? Yeah. I've never felt pain like it. I've been stabbed and had kidney stones before. I'd rather get stabbed and have kidney stones again than EVER feel the level of pain that rotting, inflamed, shard-filled organ put me through (and kidney stones were fucking BAD.) I'm a 31 year old 6ft1" man, and this thing had me writhing on the floor in pain for hours before my wife forced me into the passenger seat of the car and rushed me to the ER.

I later found out that the 'food poisoning' I was hospitalized for around 5 years earlier was actually a gallbladder issue, and the hospital never told me. Basically, this fucking thing had been slowly rotting inside me for 5 years and I had no idea until it almost killed me out of nowhere. I'm still extremely fucking angry about it.

I had a very similar situation, aside from the stabbing part. Emergency surgery after about a week of pain cuz no one could figure out what was wrong.

Funny thing is my grandmother in law called it correctly on day one.

Broken my sternum in two places when I was 12, rib cage was completely floating in my chest. Three days in the hospital and all they did to fix me up was put a rolled sock under a piece of elastic with some Velcro to help hold things in place. When it was time to go home they told me to get dressed. I bent over to put my pants on, thought I was going to die from the pain, and passed out in the bathroom. No one said don't bend over or your sternum will poke into your lungs, guess I should have known that

Same as you OP but, it was in my lady bits, not my mouth. Gotta love when glands don’t function properly and decide to get blocked. I screamed so loud, the kid across the hall started crying.

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.

BananaFlip, in How does comment federation work?

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?

Markus, in The worst physical pain you've ever experienced ?

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.

Maybe I'm a wuss?

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.

I will never understand why people try to talk us out of anaesthesia.

Happened to me once re: teeth. Never again.

tenet,

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.

His advice: Take the needle, every time.

    It's a tie between suicide headaches (which for me are thankfully very short duration) and breaking my funny bone as a teen.

    pain caused by SUNCT syndrome.

    Nomecks, in The worst physical pain you've ever experienced ?

    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.

    long story

    I had a pilonidal cyst that was pretty severe. I would feeder dream from the pain meds and pain about being shot in the head to end the pain.

    50gp, in The worst physical pain you've ever experienced ?

    anesthesia for wisdom teeth was quite bad

    feeling of pulling teeth out afterwards is not painful but still unsettling
