What the worst injury of your life?

Someone drove a scissor through my eye,It’s a miracle it didn’t affect my vision

I saw a Katy perry video once. I’ve been injured ever since

I got a cigarette crushed into the white of my left eye at about 5 years old.

In terms of functionality: Torn my ACL/meniscus & cracked the top of my femur.

In terms of pain: Simultaneously Ruptured both my testicles.

When I was 2, I was at a barbecue at my relatives house. They had a dog, I was playing with him, I handed the dog a bone and next thing I knew, I was screaming bloody murder. The dog bit out a chunk of my cheek. I was rushed to the hospital and they tried gluing it back together and while they tried doing that, the glue had glued my eyes shut and they had to pry them back open 😬 I don’t think it was that bad though, since I was only 2 so I don’t remember any pain.

Broke my right leg really badly while skiing back when I was a teenager.

This was on a winter vacation. The ski instructor was an idiot, so pretty much everyone taught themselves how to do it more, or less.

Anyway, long story short, I swerved to avoid a kid that wandered onto the ski slope, I fell, somehow my right ski dug into the ground and didn't release and it twisted my ankle and broke everything in there. Also had cracks on my calf bone. It hurt like a motherfucker.

My right leg was in a cast and even after it was off it took weeks for me to get back to my regular schedule.
Only upside was it was the winter of 2006 and I could play GTA San Andreas all day without anyone telling me to do chores, or homework XD

Broken left arm. I was playing with the cousins and got pushed off the back of my uncle's truck landed on my arm and broke it in 3 different places. I must have been around 5 or 6 at the time.

Nothing major, luckily. Weird little injuries. Hernia from jump-roping, that I never had fixed. A bunch of broken bones as a kid. One of my thumb joint cracks because of RSI + cold temperature scooping ice cream at an ice cream shop. Floaters in my eyes from watching a solar eclipse (stupidest thing I ever did in my life), even with protective glasses. Messed up toe from smashing it into things all the time. Fell down a flight of concrete steps as a baby and always wondered whether it caused brain damage.

1)dropped some 150 pound stone on my left toe, nearly severing it.

2)angle grinder to index finger.

I broke my neck 29 years ago in a car accident. I've never broken any other bones, ever. I had to wear a brace for 3 months.

I'm in the veterinary field. My first, and only, serious dog bite was from a 98 pound coonhound. Dog completely unprovoked latched onto my arm in the room before we had started the exam or even touched it; bit me three times all the way down to my wrist, shaking its head in the process and tearing flesh hardcore.

About forty eight sutures, a moderate fracture, and permanent nerve damage from its carnassial ( the big three peaked molar in the back ) hitting a nerve in my arm. It was pretty gnarly, fat was leaking out of the deeper puncture wounds and the amount of blood was remarkable.

To the dog's credit, it was presenting for an exam/consult for behavioral issues. The owners never trained or socialized it, but in all my years in the field I've never had a dog literally latch onto me with absolutely no warning or reason. It actually was euthanized earlier this year after it broke out of the owner's backyard and proceeded to attack and kill a small dog that a neighbor had been walking.

The only other injuries were boring things like a skull fracture from a bad car accident.

When I was 5 I fell off the front balcony and fractured my arm. In 2009 I tripped on the backyard steps and broke my foot.

Mine was a torn hip flexor. Happened dive bombing a squat and getting dumped. Didn't hurt to sit but It I was walking funny for a good six weeks. Not super inconvenient at the time but It kinda fucked up my posture which took forever to fix and when it happened it hurt like a bloddy motherfucker!!!

And yes, I'm the OP!

Ive hurt myself in some crazy ways over the years. But honestly nothing could even compare to this tooth ache I had. lets just say it was some next level tooth ache, like dozens of levels of hell deep kind of tooth ache.

step 1: go to dirt empire kind of foreign country

step 2: have your old filling fall out

step 3: Ignore the occasional flair up and minor pain for months on end and mask it with oral gel

step 4: just KEEP USING ORAL GEL EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY RIGHT?

step 5: wait for that thing to FUCKING GO OFF NON STOP

step 6: have no way or money to see a dentist

step 7: get almost no sleep three days while you're entire fucking head and tooth hrts ona level of pain you've never felt.

step 8: wonder if life is even worth living anymore!

step 9: Pull your tooth out of your fucking skull with a god damn tool ( or go to ER if there is one around)

step 10: BRUSH YOUR GOD DAMN TEETH 3 TIMES A DAY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE FFS !!!!!

-When it was at it's worse NOTHING could stop the pain,NOTHING. It honestly made me aware of pain I didn't know was possible.... and I've felt some really bad pain before.. for example I crashed a moped and had to have the nurses scrub my road rash with sponges...boy was that fun... doest matter... i'd fucking cut off my finger before having my whole skull become a tooth ace like that again.

I got stung by a Wasp this morning cause they made a nest in the unit I opened and got jumped by 3 of them

Twisted both my ankles from jumping out of a tall tree. Or was it the 3 car accidents 🤔

Worst was spraining my wrist and tearing my pinky tendon but at the same time I also got 1st degree burns on my face that left bruises and a bloody nose and a super painful face that took a month to stop hurting. It all was caused by the airbag. I turned my face when the accident happen so luckily only one side got attacked by it’s painfulness.

I saw a doctor to make sure I didn’t do any serious injury to my arm anywhere and saw a surgeon for my pinky but gladly it all healed on it’s own. Took about a month for everything to go back to normal but with stretched ligaments it never goes back and sometimes I feel like I occasionally have wrist pain.

As for degree of pain even when I got checked out at the doctors a few hours after I only said I was like a 4 it wasn’t badly painful to a terrible extent just mainly the worry something worse that sucked. Tho idk how it feels to break something I was still a lil shooken up and still a slight adrenaline rush and wanted to be sure I’m okay. That and only having one arm for a month and being scared to put my hand in a fist cause the tendons movements were nasty. Most pain may have been my face cause that really smacked me hard. I was kinda dissy after cause it hit so hard.

You realize how much you need another arm. Especially things like shaving the arm pit of the only arm you have.

I've sprained my left ankle twice over twenty years ago, and it hasn't been the same since then.
