Question inspired by a Charley horse that hit in the middle of the night.
Heartbreak
I came here to say the same thing. When someone close to you dies it’s painful, but that’s still not heartbreaking. When someone you love chooses not to be with you anymore, it’s on another level. I hope to never experience heartbreak again.
Swallowing while having strep throat.
One time I took a solo 1.5 hour flight and on the descent I suddenly felt a tingling on the top of my head and down my face, which quickly turned into a feeling like someone chopped an axe into the top of my head. I felt an excruciating pain on the top center of my head , behind my eyes and down my face and was trying not to react in front of all the other passengers. The pain was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. By the time we landed and I got off the plane the sharpness of the pain subsided but I had a bad headache for 2 days after. I thought I might die honestly and it spun me into such a bad anxiety attack. I did some searching and only found one post ever of something similar happening to someone else and it was from sinus pressure. I wasn’t sick at all or stuffed up so it was surprising. So now when I fly I pop Sudafed and blow my nose frequently and basically have a panic attack on the descent because of my fear of it happening again.
I had something similar checked out and I had my inner nose twisted and full of the equivalent to pimples. Perhaps that caused your pain? Idk… I’m not a doctor.
That sounds terrifying!
Oh my god same! I’m prone to allergies so I figured it came from the pressure changing upon decent decent but I would have freaked out if I hadn’t known what it was! Hurt like a bitch, I could even feel my tear ducts pulsing!
It really does hurt! I never even considered it might be pressure, mostly because I wasn’t feeling any sinus issues at the time. At least you were able to think rationally lol.
A scooter hitting me in the shin
Loneliness, it got replaced by headache and sleep deprivation. Fair trade tho.
edit: got also financial problems too
Getting shocked.
I used to help my father-in-law on the farm and he had an electric fencer for the barnyard that was way too powerful for the length of fence it was hooked up to. I knew that; what i didn’t know was that it was grounding out on a piece of flashing on the barn. It put me on my ass.
He also has this electric fencing that’s made out of rope with small metal strands woven into it. That shit hurts too but in a different way. Maybe because there are more points of contact.
I got shocked doing some wiring last week and it was nothing compared to the electric fence.

Heroin withdrawals
Over 13 years here, coming on 12 years without opioid withdrawals at all (methadone/suboxone withdrawal can be even worse and is certainly not a catch all solution but definitely worked for me). Great job Kava keep it up.
Thank you sir and congrats to you as well. I’ve been clean from opiates since Dec 26th 2016. I still smoke weed occasionally or use kava so I’m “California sober” but it works for me. Opiates are dangerous substances.
Ouch.
Enduring other peoples mental emotional bullshit especially to keep a job. Feeling like I have no choices but to kill myself with work to survive. Mental maturity, having goals to work for, and learning to stand up for myself/not tolerate retarded whacky monkey bullshit from fellow human beings has done wonders for me. My young adult years were miserable, it got much better.
Gall stones… thought l had the worst wind,.paced the floor all night…turns out, gall bladder was having a bad time
That I haven’t had? The two major ones are a sinus infection (1994), which in theory I could have again, and appendicitis (2007), which I will never have again.
As a life long skateboarder and snowboarder, I’ve had all kinds of brutal injuries, still do on occasion, but no pain has compared to those two.

Unnatural childbirth it is, then
Active addiction and the hopelessness of hunger, legal trouble, and flexing my principles in order to function.
What do you mean by “flexing my principles”?
Flexing doesn’t quite work in that context but I get what he was going for. Probably bending or relaxing his principles sounds better, i.e. lowering himself to scummy behaviors that would normally violate his principles.
I seem to be constantly on the receiving end of painful experiences, so it’s kinda constant. That being said all 3 of my grandmothers have died so I can’t go through that again.
Dislocated shoulder was the worst for me. The pain meds didn’t help at all and I cried like a baby until the anaesthesia started.
I once had mine popped out then snap back in again while surfing after a hurricane. I got drilled into the bottom shoulder first and felt it separate then it clicked back into place. I then had to get back to shore with one arm, got driven over to a rocky section I had to climb out over (board required minor repairs). I have no idea why I didn’t drown that day. My arm was f’d for a long time.
Much cooler story than mine though. I ordered food, went to the door, slipped on the stairs and tried to grab the handrail while falling.
At least I had some nice Indian food waiting for me when I came back from the ER.
Edit: btw it was fascinating that I immediately knew it was a dislocated shoulder. I never had it before, never had major bones broken or torn ligaments. I still knew, like three seconds after I fell what it was.
That sounds way more painful!
