Waking up in the morning however feeling like I had been hit by an Arctic hurt.
I bet it did, being hit by a whole continent would sting ever so.

1st for me, was snapping my leg playing football, I ran to get the ball ahead of their player, nudged it away with my right foot, just as our other forward came sliding in, missing their player and the ball and put his studs into the calf of my standing leg, followed by all his weight, my leg was like a twig. That hurt.

2nd, playing football again and when chasing the ball against one of their players he shoulder charged me, being 20 meters away from the ball I didn't expect it so tripped/stumbled, tried to keep my balance then lost it all together going into the ground like a fking dart head first. Head and shoulder hit floor at same time and broke my collar bone.

3rd, once again at football, running as fast as possible down the wing and my foot went down a rabbit scratching, cue twisted ankle and torn tendon.

4th, about 10 years old, being chased by the local nutcase on my bike, there were 3 of us heading down my street, I looked back to see where nutter was, turned back to be confronted by my 2 mates stood still in my way, my front wheel hit one of their rear cogs and my bike stopped dead, I however carried on, my balls crunching off the cross bar before I done a somersault and smashed my head on a stone wall rendering me unconscious. I woke to see my mother crying, a huge pool of blood around my head and felt a big gaping hole in my forehead.

ETA No 5. being shot by the farmer, shotgun cartridge full of dried rice. That fking hurts, A LOT.

Ice hockey. Having a carbon stick smashed and shattered around the back of my left leg. You'd think that doesn't sound so bad but it takes a surprising amount of force to shatter a carbon stick. I didn't walk right for about a week.

Oh don’t get me wrong the child birth wasn’t painful, I had copious amounts of drugs available – it was the product of it for the next 16 years that is painful hehe

Took a golf club to the head, smashed my skull along with a bit of bruising to the brain. Didn't hurt at first due to the shock but it was bad later. The worst bit was putting my hand to my head and my fingers not touching the bone as it was no longer there, made me realise that it was actually quite serious. Caused me to have my one and only nosebleed too.

Fell through a roof and got hooked through the jaw by a 6" nail protruding from one of the ceiling rafters below. I hung ther momentarily whilst the nail 'worked it's way through' before dropping onto my spine on the handrail of the stairs.

It was rather. Funny thing is I only realised how much damage the nail had done when saw I was wearing a bright red t-shirt, instead of the white one I'd been wearing moments before. Oh, and being able to lick the back of my hand through the bottom of my mouth without opening it.

Having my right knee partially dislocated when i was 18 smarted a bit. Nothing compared to the pain 3 days later when the osteopath put it back in place (sans drugs) after two Drs had missed it and said it was just strained.

Recently had a ureteric stent due to a couple of stuck kidney stones. Still not sure if the stones were preferable to the 2.5 weeks of feeling like you are about to wet yourself all the time and then when you give in spend 15 minutes dibbling a tea spoon full of blood and piss, about 20 times a day, added to which every drop feels like it is sulphuric acid...

Oh and for those that are too squeamish to Google the operations (3 in total, one to look, one to insert and one to remove) do not require any incisions to be made. I’ll let you work out how they do it but will say that there are some parts that are only ever supposed to provide pleasure and experiencing that much pain there is just not cricket!

Still all fixed now smile

The chain on my dads bike snapping at the top of a cycle.

Double bubble because not only did I crack my nuts on the top bar because the bike was too big for me, but after about 10 minutes of blubbing on the verge like a baby in the foetal position I had to push the bike all the way home AND wait for my dad to come home to explain that I had broken the bike I knew he wanted to use that night!

You wouldn't have thought it but I hurt myself fishing, hard core Robson what's his tits extreme fishing it was not, but it was trolling for proper game fish in the Indian Ocean, anyway I'm sat there bored stupid with the rod in its holder thing attached to the chair between my legs and the reel on these things is on the top facing up, all of a sudden something F big takes the lure and the line is off at great speed. To this day I have no idea why but my instant reaction to stop the line going out was to press the pad of my thumb onto the nylon line being ripped off the reel at a massive speed. The nett result was a mahooosive blister that covered the whole of my thumb pad and was full of fluid.

At the time I was working with a Royal Marines medic who was an "expert" in blister treatment, he sat me down and told me to sit on my left hand while he inserted a syringe into the blister and drew off the fluid, so far so good, he then however reached for the other syringe and in place of the fluid he'd just drawn off injected neat Iodine! I honestly thought my hand was going explode as he ducked back out the way laughing. The reason I was sat on my other hand was to give him a vital extra few seconds to get clear when I took a swing at him, as he knew I would.

Ahh, my speciality.

Getting run over years ago was fairly bad- broken ankle, leg in three places, exploded kneecap, two broken wrists,broken collarbone, one broken shoulderblade, the other dislocated, fractured skull in 2 places, face cut when putting face through windscreen, and by far the worst- left arm lacerated by aeriel, closely followed by scrotum being ripped open by remains of aforementioned aeriel- that really fking hurt, as did having the staples out.

The burning episode has been covered on here, some photos too somewhere, but for anyone asking about pain, it is by far and away the single most excrutiating agony I have ever endured, and I genuinely wouldn't wish it on anyone. Not only is the pain feel as though it is deep inside you, the dressings are agonizing when removed, the itchiness for 6 months afterwards is sufficient to drive you insane. Coupled with the disturbed sleeping patterns, (in my instance) the problems with breathing having inhaled flame, the still constant aching, the inability to go in the sun for a year or so and the fact I now crap myself at fireworks or even a lighter being lit, I'm struggling to find something funny to say about it, but hey, glad to still be here.

After years of ear and hearing problems, all swept aside by the wonder that is the NHS, was living in France for a year and was struck down with a massive inner ear infection.

After 5 days in hospital on introvenous antibiotics (just in case had spread to spinal and cerebral fluids) was informed by nice consultant that they'd like to perform an 'exploratory internal examination' under general anesthetic. Explain the procedure as going in via the ear canal with camera and inspecting inner ear and mastoid bone.

So, off to surgery, wake up a couple of hours later to feel rather tight headed, very concerned looking mother sat next to me, ashen-faced and a bit weepy. Reach up and find head bandaged like an extra from M*A*S*H. Consultant pops in later to inform me that they'd discovered a cholesteatoma and also had to remove the mastoid bone. This had been done by removing the ear (!) by cutting behind and folding over my cheek.

The worst pain I have ever felt came 5 days later however, when nice consultant was peppered with the best Britain has to offer in swearing as he was removing the wadding from the inner ear. Basically cotton wool twice the diameter of a wine cork being pulled away from unhealed surgical wounds and out through the ear hole.

Actually cried like a baby afterwards, as even the breeze from moving my head caused me to double up in pain.

Funny (for others) outcome is that I can now only sleep in a certain position due to the messing with my inner ear having triggered BBPV, and if I roll over in the night can be inclined to projectile vomit due to dizziness. Not good for SWMBO lol

3 dislocated shoulders.

1st time snowboarding....ripped it out very very hard. 4 hours before it could be put back in....not nice.
2nd time bonking, lying on my back, hands behind my head....girl pushing on my shoulder for some secure riding and out it came. Ambulance job.
3rd time enduro in the mountains, 15kms from the nearest road, had to get two mates to put it back in so I could get to the hospital. 1 week later I was in a car crash (friend fell asleep at the wheel) and fractured my sternum from the force of the seat belt...getting in and out of bed was close to impossible.

The instant relief when it goes back in is heaven.

I was on a night out, leathered, crossed the road, 2 steps away from the opposite side, drink driver trying to change his CD in the car veers across the road and takes me out.
Smashed all the front bumper & lights up with my shins / legs, dented all the bonnet with my knees, smashed the windscreen with my head, dented all the roof with body / shoulder.
Landed headfirst in the road un-concious, woke up on a spinal board, in head blocks outside of a club with every other friday night reveller crowded round me, in the back of the Ambiwlans i go.
They reckoned due to me being pissed i'd escaped any serious injury.
Apparently i was in X-ray for about 90 minutes, i don't really rememebr being in X-Ray.
I went home in the morning with whiplash / severe concussion, some cuts to my head & hand and a bruised shin!
