most painful medical experience?

[markster]

Working on a hot rod motor one fine night, you need to rev the motor to get oil on the cam lobes during break-in, the motor was hot and I heard a hissing. I peered curiously into the engine bay then Wwoooosh! I got hit with 200+ degree coolant in the chest , which of course drained down to the nether regions, stripped down to nothing (1st stripping experience) and sat in a tub of cold water for a while. The real pain kicked in at the Hospitorture, no pain meds because they need to know where it hurts. 2nd degree burns on arms legs and torso hurt all over OK nurse Ratshit. Then apparently everything had to be CLEANED!<scrubbed> Ouch. I thank god and my mother for being uncut (down there).

Burns are the worst. I'd rather get poked and prodded than burned....

when I was a toddler my mom left a hot iron out and I got curios, you can guess the rest.

The worst, however, was testicular torsion and surgery to fix it.

In order to avoid this should one wear briefs or boxers or what? Help I’m cringing.

Some of the shit that I've been through was described by medical staff as 'a pain worse than childbirth'

Not having given birth to children, I can't copare.

Blowing out my L4-L5 disc has to be second to childbirth. The nerve pain in my leg felt like someone replaced my blood with Napalm.

Just don't be twisting your testicles into a tight knot; scratching them once in awhile is ok.

For me, childbirth was the worst pain.

doing some landscaping, i dropped a railroad tie on my lower leg. OUCH! i had a dent in my leg that went all the way to the bone, but no broken skin. So i left it alone thinking it will go away on its own. About a week down the line, the skin starts to die around it and flaking off, and in about a few more dys i have a HUGE BLOOD and PUSS filled pouch about the size of half a baseball sticking out of my leg. Every step feels like it is going to explode, the pressure in my leg was unbearable, being the tough guy i was i went hiking in that state and couldnt last, i seruiouslyhad to keep looking at it to see if it is leaking puss.

when i got back i showed to a doctor uncle of mine who said if i waitied another few days they would amputate my leg. I had Gangrene. A splinter or something from the railroad tie got into the skin and infected the shit out of that part of the leg.

Lets just say when he punctured it to drain i felt like the weight of a 300lb man standing on my leg had been lifted. That was the most painful part of it too, but at the same time the most relieving. I wont share with you how much gunk was drained out of it, nor the following week and a half of draining remnants out of the drain holes, sometimes popping out hardened clusters of puss into the air.

yah i had gangrene, still have dead skin there that has no feeling.

Underware choice has nothing to do with it.

Background: Testicular torsion is a urologic emergency and must be differentiated from other complaints of testicular pain because a delay in diagnosis can lead to loss of the testicle.

In English:
Pay attention to your boys, if they hurt get it checked.

Pathophysiology: The typical testicle is covered by the tunica vaginalis, which attaches to the posterolateral surface of the testicle and allows for little mobility.

In patients who have an inappropriately high attachment of the tunica vaginalis (ie, bell clapper deformity), the testicle can rotate freely on the spermatic cord within the tunica vaginalis. This congenital anomaly, which can be found in as many as 12% of males, allows the testicle to twist spontaneously on the spermatic cord 1 or more times, causing testicular torsion. This twisting leads to venous occlusion and engorgement, with subsequent arterial ischemia causing infarction of the testicle.

In English: Normal testicles don’t move around much, but in a lucky 12% of males they are able to twist. Cutting off the blood supply.

History: History includes a sudden onset of severe unilateral scrotal pain.

In English: it hurts like a mother fucker.

Causes:
Congenital anomaly; bell clapper deformity
Undescended testicle
Sexual arousal and/or activity
Trauma
Exercise
Active cremasteric reflex
Cold weather

In English: pretty much anything.

Good luck you guys, pray that you are in the 88 percentile and never experience this, not only is it the worst pain ever, but the surgery is a lot of fun too. Basically they open you up, un-twist everything, and STITCH the testicles in place, then stitch the incision closed. I took a certain pleasure in the fact that I got to flash a couple of quite hot nurses, and one of them had to shave my boys (boy did they treat me like a king). No pain killers in the world can distract you from itchy 'grow back' under all those bandages tho...Pulling the sutures out was fun too!

Had to have a couple ultra sounds down there to make sure all is well and the blood supply is adequate. Those are a lot of fun also.

For those unlucky 12% that experience this, god bless!

The worst 6-months of my friggin life symbolized in one x-ray of my left ankle...

Buttonwillow is not my friend!

I wonder how much it will hurt when I get all the metal bits taken out at the end of the summer...

#1 Ever been tested for clamidia? Very uncomfortable indeed.

#2 Crashed my bike and looked down at my foot and saw the sole of my shoe pointing at me? Then got rushed to the hospital only to have the doc straighten it out before giving me any painkillers? Then sitting in my bed all night with out any painkillers only to have them tell me the next morning that I was supposed to request some. POS hospital. After I healed up I almost went back there with a shotgun.

I can 2nd the clamidia testing. I will never look at a q-tip / swab thing the same again.

monster kidney stones...and having my hand reset after a nasty break. At least they knock you out when you get surgery.

Not m/c related, but the most medical pain I have been in is when I had really bad gallstones, and one tried to kill me. It was so large that it got stuck & blocked my spleen & kidney. It felt like an icepick was in my side.....4 vicodin, 2 shots of morphine later, I was still in so much pain I couldn't breathe. Yeah, that sucked, as did the tube-down-the-throat procedure to "move it" so it would pass and not actually kill me, and the recovery from the 4 hour break the stones & remove the gall bladder surgery. But, I got morphine for like two days and my then-roommate almost gave an old lady a heart attack when I moved rooms without telling him and he jumped in to "scare me."

I was riding with this fine woman on the back with her arms wrapped around me when all of a sudden I had a car cut me off so I had to hit the brakes really really hard and thats when my injury happened, I don't think I will ever be the same.
