The pain thread (aka ways you've hurt yourself)

[Skyplume 36]

I went to Megacon in Orlando and I broke my foot chasing after my friend's poster that got caught in the wind.

 

We went to Walgreens to look for a brace, and I went to grab some crutches when Friend said,

"You don't need crutches, you just sprained it".
I proceeded to hobble around the con for 8 hours without said crutches.

 

Upon returning to South FL, I went to a urgent care place, got X-ray, sure enough, it was broken.

 

I still don't let my friend live it down (not in a cruel way, but a lolz-way). That's what best friends do.

[Descant 1,897]

When I was four, I accidentally hit my two-year-old cousin with a shovel. But that doesn't count.

 

 

Hm... I'm gonna go with this story... In third grade I was pushed over while I was playing a game of tag. It was my third day at my new school - we had just moved away from Charlotte. I fell, and my forehead collided with one of those giant blocks of railroad wood they used to keep the mulch in the playground area. And suddenly there's blinding pain. BAM! I had a hole in my head  the diameter of a nickel, and quite deep. I couldn't see the bottom of it. I still have the scar... Never found out who pushed me. Probably some punk fifth grader.

I feel like I have no right to post in here since I never had any serious injuries. All I had was minor boo-boos compared to most of these stories.

 

Anyway, I remembered another one. This time me and my friends around the neighborhood were having a basketball game. Just an average street ball match; our street vs 14th street. It was a tough game around I was on fire. We won the game and I went home, feeling good about my victory. But the shoes I was playing in were a bit too small you see. Once the adrenaline wore off, my feet were so sore I had to walk on the balls of my feet and both of the big toe nails had died. My family got a good laugh out of watching me walk around and my feet were peeling for more than a week.

You know the show Jack Ass? Yea, i did that. Took a shopping cart to the roof of the house, tied it down and said "This is * censored* and this is Jack Ass" cut the rope and it failed immidiatly. i thought i broke my neck and my back. lol good times, good times

[PonyHag1 591]

A couple of things, once I was cutting a fozen bagel and the knife went through too fast and badly cut my thumb. I have the scar to this day.

 

Another time, I was biking home to watch a favorite TV show when I wiped out in my driveway and tore my arm up. Did that ever hurt.

[Gdrlowmgqwmhopqw 107]

I don't remember my exact age, but i was still in highschool, probably.. I slipped while going down some stair at my grandmother's place and hit the back of my head. It didn't hurt that much, but about a minute later i lost my eyesight.. !PANIC! !PANIC! !PANIC! !PANIC! I had tears forming in my eyes as i thought what i had just lost .. Few minutes later my eyesight returned..

[Harmonic Revelations 8,833]

One time I had a wide gash in my leg that went down to the bone when I went flying out of a car and onto some pavement.

 

When I was a baby my father took me on his motorcycle and he ended up crashing. My father was infantry and quite a strong man, I was barely injured due to him saving me but he ended up breaking one of his legs. 

 

Compared to the others in this thread I haven't had any "serious" injuries.

Here's some things I have been through:

When I was training mountain kayaking (or canoeing) I went on a kayaking camp. I had a short sleeve foam swimming suit (I don't know how to call it). About after 5 days I had 1st or 2nd degree burns on my arms and the whole skin layer was falling off. On one of the competitions I have capsized, but I couldn't get out of my kayak and the rescuer was not looking at me and I have nearly suffocated, but thankfully he came at last . I have been also sleepwalking one night and I fell downstairs breaking the wall with my heel and breaking my toe.

[Mr Dash 1,818]

I usually try my best to stay away from doing stupid things that could result in an injury. Pretty much the dumbest thing I did was back in high school. I like collecting swords, and I had a cheap sword that was fairly dull. I decided to hold some styrofoam in my left hand, and hold the sword in my right hand. I then set the blade of the sword on the styrofoam and proceeded to pull the sword back, letting the weight of the sword cut the styrofoam. Well, the styrfoam broke and the sword came down on my finger, giving me a nice cut. I then proceeded to the bathroom with a little pool of blood in my right hand. Cleaned it up, slapped a band-aid on it, and went on my merry way. Took about a week and half to fully heal. BTW, it was my middle finger, so I had an excuse to flip people off then.

 

The worst that's happened without me being dumb is I was bit by a full grown golden retriever when I was young. I was scared of large dogs for years after that.

[Proailurus 214]

     When I was like 7 I thought it was a good idea to step into a wagon and try to jump over a barbwire fence from there. I ripped open my thigh, and I had to go to the ER. I had like 23 stitches for weeks. I still have a scar :|

     And I realize now that everyone is basically just listing every major injury they've ever had, not stupid things they've done to hurt themselves, which is what I thought this thread was. Well, when I was like... I dunno, 7? *shrug* Me, my mom, and my brother were riding our bikes on the rode our house is on, and then they started racing each other down a hill. I was all like "Wait up!" and I started going after them, and then my bike toppled over and I crashed. I bit my tongue in half (still have a scar), and broke my jaw in two places. The first place was near my ear, and it healed naturally. They put a dissolvable plastic thing in the other place, which is like where your chin is, and I have a scar on my chin as well. So yeah.

[Mephala 2,633]

Oh, god, the amount of times I've accidentally hurt myself is crazy.

I got my third nosebleed this year (23 days in and I've had THREE) yesterday after smacking my face into a kickboard at swimming. Someone had pushed me. This is the fourth time it's happened that way :c

Today I fell down my stairs, got hit by an opening door, stabbed myself several times with my pen, hit my head on a desk, got hit with a chair, dropped my knapsack on my toe (I have a massive bruise), broke a glass and cut myself on the shards, and closed my hand hard in a drawer.

I THINK that was everything for today.

Oh, and the other day I poured scalding water all over my hand and it's all blistery and nasty.

And there was yesterday's magnificent bellyflop at swimming.

Back when I was self-harming I wouldn't cut much but just light matches and press them on my skin. I'm still a little masochistic so it's kind of not bad for me that I'm so accident prone.

[Skullbuster 1,906]

ive never had a broken bone, but ive had some pretty bad hits, once in the 6th grade i was on top of this huge concrete block thing, and i jumped to another one and  my shin hit the corner of it, that wasnt fun

 

i crushed my toe in a door, never wore sandals since then

 

and then there was one time where i punched a wooden counter and scared  my finger

[Fubz 300]

Wow, you all seem so smart compared to my story.

My one is STUPID

 

yea, so I decided to experiment what would happen if I ran full speed into a wall.

Ok it already sounds stupid there, but due to my derpiness even that STUPIDLY SIMPLE PLAN FAILS

 

I fell over and slid into the wall at full speed instead.

 

 

 

Broke my wrist yea... :/

[Sketchi Inktip Quillwing 97]

When I was 8 at camp, I stumbled into a ditch (crossed eyes make perception horrible), and sprained my leg.

So then I somehow I did it to the other one.

 

One bucking WEEK crawling around because my legs were sprained ...

 

When I was little (can't remember how old) I stuck my finger in a Fan-Blade.

WTF was I thinking?!

 

When I was 5 at a party, I slipped on a concrete step and skinned my knee. It was NOT a very pretty knee either. I still have a scar on it to this day.

 

When I was 8 in my old school, I tripped on a step and did a face-plant on the cold, hard, tiled floor.

 

When I was 3, I went to a resavoir (?), so I ran really fast in the grass and ran straight into a thistle.

 

I've also slipped and fell on wet tiles countless times.

 

Things that could've gotten me killed:

When I was 2 (?), I bent over and tried to feed the aligators my marshmallows.

 

The other time was when I ran after a giant snake.

One of the worst things I've ever done, well, I've jumped over a small wall without noticing there is some rubble on the other side between the weeds and what do you know, I landed right on one of those thick, steel and narrow "wires" used in building construction.
Sadly for me, it was still connected with piece of pavement and pointing straight to the sky. It went trough my leg, in right above the ankle, out right under the knee. It was one of those so unexpected injuries that they don't even hurt. It was just "Well. Fuck.".
The fun part was getting the 60 cm of "wire" (I'm really not sure how those things are called) out of the leg. I even considered leaving it there and going to the hospital, but that was rather impossible, thanks to the chunk of pavement it was connected to.
It's pretty amazing feeling really, everyone should try to pull out something going straight trough any part of their body. It's very unique.

 

 

Edit:One of those long, irony thingies. I can't recall what they are called no matter how hard I try, heh. Help?

The only old one I can remember right now:
 

In my infinite 8 year old wisdom, I decided it would be a good idea to see how quickly I could go from FULL SPEED AHEAD down my street to a full stop on my pushbike. Got to the point where the pedals are in overdrive on max gear and slam both the front and rear brakes. 

For a moment, I flew, at one with the birds (well, about 10ft above the ground) 'til I crashed in a heap on a car bonnet. 

And that would've been fine. Just a bit winded and bruised. But no. My bloody bike had to land on top of me.

 

And one that happened more recently was just stupid: 

 

I'm stoking our log burner to give us some warmth, and have just about get it going, so my mum says she'll take over. Only a couple minutes later I come in again seeing her with her hand wrapped with her sleeve, trying to pull the handle to open the door.

"Um. What are you doing?"

"What? The handle's hot"

"Pfft, no it's no-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

It hurt to hold stuff for a couple days.

[pettenuzzo 14]

I haven't really caused myself major damage that i can recall of but i often have accidents that leave a few scars.

 

but the most i have been hurt is by a solid metal pole that fell from my friends workplace and hit me square in the head, it bled a lot, but one peculiar injury i have is a piece of dislodge cartilage* in my ear that has left a kind of long thin lump at the topish of my ear.

*not sure what it actually is but my best bet is cartilage. 

[FancyPhoenix 197]

Hm. I'm sure I've had several injuries during my life, but I'll just tell about the ones I still have scars left/ones I can remember.

 

The earliest one I recall is riding my tricycle straight to my dad's car when I was three or four. Now this would've been nothing if I hadn't happened to be holding a meter-long stick in my hand, right before my face. Anyhow, the stick was the first thing to hit the car, and of course the other end happened to be right in front of my eye. It was only due to sheer luck, that the stick missed my eye by less than one cm. I still have a scar right next to my right eye and my sight is a bit worse on that side too.

 

The next one would be a few years after that. I was ice-skating, and I had one of those... Whaddayacall'em... Kick sled's? Anyway I had one of those with me for whatever reason. And of course, as luck would have it, I fell over and slammed my face right into that steel-skid-thingies (dunno what they're called) Result: Once again my right eye was spared by pure luck, as the skid hit me right above the eye, splitting the skin above my eyebrow all the way to the skull. Five stiches and a mild concussion.

 

The last one is something that happened not too long ago. July 17th 2012 if I remember correctly. I had a summer job at a local factory. Packing roofbuilding-supplies and other roof-related stuff so they could be shipped all over the world. Anyhow, there was this conveyor-belt-thingy, that brought the items from the machine that wrapped them in plastic, to be put into the boxes. I was working next to the conveyor-belt, waiting for the next item. I apparently had my hand somehow funnily on top of/next to the conveyor belt, and as it started moving, my glove was caught under it. Now, the glove would've been nothing, if it hadn't been tight enough to pull my hand with it under the belt. Suddenly I feel a crushing sensation on my fingers and notice where my hand is. I shouted for my boss to stop the machine, which he did as quickly as possible, but the damage had already been done. My right-hand index finger, middle finger and ring finger were totally crushed, two major lacerations on the index finger, around 1,5 cm cut off from the middle finger, and the nail ripped off + one smaller cut on the ring finger. I don't know why, but my genious dad decided it'd be fun to take a picture of the hand when we were at the hospital... I'm going to add a link here just for the sake of the picture existing (and for the sake of being different from everyone else ). Meaning, there's no reason for this picture, but the fact that I happened to find it just today

 

WARNING!!! THIS LINK SHOULD NOT BE OPENED, IF YOU FEEL YOU CANNOT FACE PICTURES OF BLOOD/INJURIES. REPEAT, DO NOT CLICK, IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU'RE UP FOR IT! I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY OF ANYONE SUFFERING SOME SORT OF TRAUMA BECAUSE OF THIS PICTURE. (lol) But seriously, don't click this if you're not completely sure you want to.

Another note: I'm not sure, if a picture like this goes under the category of NSFW, thus breaking the rules of MLPforums. I myself would not put it under that label, since it doesn't contain any sort of pornographic material. If it does indeed break the rules in some way, feel free to delete this post, and please accept my deepest apologies.

 

Wow. O.o talk about a wall of text.. Well... I guess I just like talking about this stuff

[Retro*Derpy 3,081]

The only time I remember causing some serious pain was when I was told to put a cooler down some steps, well I was so tired that I forgot to lift with your legs, yeah.... Went to left it up and felt a nice tear from the bottom of my back to my shoulders. It was so painful that I just went back to bed for the rest of the day. Healed and was fine the next day though.

 That would be reinforced steel (REbar). I Am surprised I know this because I have absolutely no reason to Memorize what those are called

Alright. So I had REbar going trough my leg. Cool.

 

Additional funny thing: When I saw that ridiculously long thing going out of my knee, the second thing that came to my mind was "Whoa, just a little bit to the right and that thing was in my ass!".

[crazitaco 596]

never broken any bones, fortunately.
-when i was little, i was running through our house chasing my siblings and i tripped on my untied shoe laces, and hit my head against the brick fire place. it bled like crazy, and i had to get staples in my head ;_;

-years later, i almost broke my neck on a trampoline, i somehow double bounced and ended up falling off the trampoline, and i pulled a muscle in my neck

- grabbed a prickly pear fruit with my bare hands (yeah, that was stupid of me), not knowing they are covered in extremely tiny hooks that are barely visible. i spent the whole night pulling the suckers out with tweezers.

I cannot actually remember when all of my problems were, but i have a passion to broke my body on a football.

 

First time it was may be in my twelve or so - i played with some strangers from international schools in Malta and accidently broke both of my arms

Then, after year or so i played football back home with my friends and broke a finger on right hand

I played in football at school, and broke my left leg, then year after that, i played in univercity and broke my right leg.

Last time my teacher forced me to play, and i broke my right leg again, adding tearing ligaments.

If there is sport, that i hate, it`s football.  <_<

About 2 years ago or so, me and my bro were skating boarding down a hill. I foolishly got on my board on my hands and knees, with my face facing forward. As I was going down the hill, I hit a bump, and.... I smashed my face against the ground. Thankfully all it was was a cut on the face.
