Hah!
Sean…
I don’t have a camera with a high enough resolution to provide you with a picture of my eyelid scar. Apologies.
But, um, thanks guys? I’m not sure being a winner in this thread is a good thing.
It’s a win none-the-less. So embrace it!

Yeah, most of my worst injuries pale in comparison to a lot of the stories in this thread, but Daniel’s story is straight out of my fucking nightmares.
most painful thing was probably when i my pocket knife slammed shut on my middle finger, almost taking a slice of about 3mm off, when I was 9
don’t remember feeling any pain, though
you’re painless bro, face it
Besides the gash from sitting on the soap dish from when I was 6 years old, there was the time my sister decided to slam the door while my fingers were on the threshold. Stung like a bitch for weeks, I nearly ripped my sister’s head off too. Then there was the time I opened plastic wrap after nuking chicken in the microwave. I had my middle finger, my ring finger, and my pointer finger all sting for a week. I had to study for a fucking test that week too.
Pro-Tip: Unless you want your hand stinging for weeks, poke a hole in it and let out the steam before you handle it.
Most of my worst injuries where as a small child and I can no longer remember what the pain was like.
the most annoying pain i guess is when you sprain something, it’s not really that painful, but it’s really annoying and it can last for over a year
I don’t have many painful stories, I flipped a quad and tore up my back once, I’ve stepped on a nail, and broke my arm so that my elbow bent backwards, but the most painful thing I’ve experienced are migraines. I had one so bad that it was literally (and I do mean literally) blinding, and multiple ones that were almost as bad.
Oh yeah well I stepped on a lego once
But seriously I feel pretty darn lucky after reading yalls horror stories. Mine are all really lame. I have never even broken a bone, but then I was never a very athletic person, nor was I stupid enough (or had stupid enough friends) to do much dangerous stuff, and when I did I was quite careful.
Worst I’ve ever felt that I can remember are both internal pains that I’ve kind of inherited…my family seems predisposed to gut problems and headaches. So on rare occasions I’ll go to use the restroom and I’ll have a terrible cramping pain that feels like I have poison in my intestines. I also get lots of painful headaches, including these strange, kind of frightening headaches that feel like a bullet or an ice pick going through my skull, starting above my eye and traveling to the back of my head. Only lasts for a second or two but it’s quite painful. My doctor says it’s nothing to worry about, but damn if it isn’t worrying.
I also got a lot of painful charley horses in my legs and feet when I was a teenager. One time at school I had a pencil in my pocket, point up, and I stuck my hand in my pocket and the lead jammed itself under the skin in the corner of my thumbnail and broke off. Had to go to the nurse’s office to get it removed. Didn’t hurt all that bad though, as I remember. Got a few fingers caught in doors and the nails fell off. Had chicken pox, itched the hell out of me. Standard cuts and bruises throughout my life. Oh and the other day I stupidly decided to go take a leak right after cutting up some jalapenos. That was fun. Also I can barely remember it but I think when I was very small I fell into a big fire ant hill. I remember sitting mostly naked in a sink, presumably while my mom tried to wash the ants off and sooth the bites.
Now, it’s not exactly pain, but the worst physical feelings, which I hate with a passion, are 1. Vomiting and 2. Getting a tooth pulled (with anesthesia). Neither one hurts but they both feel so freaking wrong. I think I might sometimes prolong a sickness by simply refusing to vomit, but in my mind it’s worth it not to have to do it.
It’s weird, painful thing have happened to me, but I apparently have a really high pain tolerance because I never remember the actual pain and I guess, from what others tell me, I handle it really well.
In 5th grade I fell down on my chin while sliding on ice, and had to get six stitches without anesthesia, and apparently I was actually laughing while the doctor did it. In freshman year of college I broke my hand by tackling someone playing a game of pickup football and it just popped, one of my phalanges was broken clean through and they had to place a metal strip inside my hand. Still don’t remember it hurting much, it was just… really strange. My hand was bigger than it should have been and numb, that’s all i remember.
And a few summers ago I fell off a surfboard and got pulled under by a wave, and as soon as I surfaced my board, which was standing upright like a freaking obelisk, fell down on my head with the fin stabbing me right on top of the head. The thing weighed maybe 20-30 pounds, so there was a lot of force behind it. It literally just felt like a large flat object had hit me though, and I was more stunned than anything else. I stumbled dazedly out of the water with blood pouring down my face and I was mumbling and looking around drunkenly. I still don’t remember it hurting, though.
Maybe I’m a superhero!
Well, the last story doesn’t seem too bad. Your head tends to bleed a lot more than other parts of your body because of how much blood your brain uses.
At least I think so. I may have learned that from a fantasy novel.
well i did need 9 staples in my scalp
Reading these has brought back a few more memories.

Cutting down a Mesquite Tree I ended up with this
stuck through my tennis shoe and embedded in my foot. Couldn’t walk back into the house with it embedded through my shoe and into my foot attached to a 24 inch long branch so, I ended up hopping into the house and having my wife remove it from the sole of my shoe with a pair of pliers. Took me what seemed forever to talk her into doing it. -
After the slide on the gravel parking lot, mentioned in my first post, the school nurse had applied a gauze bandage about two inches wide and eight inches long to my forearm with instructions to replace the bandage periodically. Needless to say, never told my mother about replacing it. During lunch at school I went to the bathroom to remove the bandage and replace it as well as show my friends how much of a man I was and found it be kind of stuck and not wanting to come off. So, a friend said I should just yank it. Being a ‘man’ I took his advice only to find out that the long scab had grown into the gauze. Needless to say, holding my scream was almost impossible and the amount of blood on the sink and counters looked like Jack the Ripper had recently been at work in the bathroom.

In the process of cleaning out a car, I ran my hand between the seat cushion and back only to discover that there were broken glass shards in the crease.

Can’t believe I forgot this one but, after climbing a shelf fixture at work that was about eight feet high in order to get something off of the top, I began the process of getting down. I reached up with my left hand while my feet were on the bottom shelf, about 18 inches off the ground, and then jumped. Didn’t realize that my wedding ring was caught on a metal corner so, I went down and my ring decided to stay on top. Ended up with it slightly embedded in my ring finger and an extremely deep gash covering about an inch and a half almost to the bone. Haven’t worn a ring since and never will.
or perhaps you’re one of the view lucky enough to have “nerve disorder” that doesn’t feel that much pain! and yes I’m serious, I’ve known a guy who had similar issue, only he NEVER felt pain at all
