Health Worst pain you have felt?

[Perth gal]

Perth gal how did you go with your CT scans?

They said my neck was normal. I said to my physio it's not all in my head. He said you feel pain because you are so stressed all the time.

Migraines related to my condition. The stress migraines/behind the eyes types have literally kept me up all night.

Maybe ask for a referral to a specialist

Have you tried some traditional acupuncture

If this is work cover PG find out who the best professional is in the area and go see them. Anyone involved in elite sport is always a good place to start.
A lot of people in the public sector are brilliant but there are also quite a few who are really bad.

Also, your physio isn't a surgeon and a psychologist so I wouldn't listen to them at all.

have you been to the dentist? do you know if you have bruxism (clenching or grinding) can be awake or sleep and can cause headaches and jaw pain etc, stress can make it worse

I just had a osteomety on my femur which led to 6 weeks off work.

So it was definitely that- first 2 weeks were no piece of cake.

Plus I had an allergic reaction to all of the hardcore meds,so I ended up doing it with Panadol only.

I never want to go in a pool ever again, but I feel we will be best friends for a bit.

I had osteomety on the upper tibia, right leg 12 weeks ago and left leg 4 weeks ago and i cannot walk at all. 2 or 3 weeks post opp the pain was ridiculous. I had a limp after the first leg but that was corrected after the second ws done, at least im now 15mm taller

My surgeon doesnt want to do the other one for another 6 months at least.

Sorry to hear you cant walk at all.

But I would definitely agree the first 2-3 weeks are absolute agony

My surgeon was the same but i pushed for a 2 month gap just to get it over and done with. He was reluctant but iwas persistent .
My second one was interesting, after scans here i had a 3d printed wedge made up in France sent over to fill the gap. Technology is an amazing thing.

I have some stuff at work to do over the next 6 months so it probably works

That is pretty interesting actually re the 3d wedge.

They showed me what they would potentially do to me on the other side- looks like a game of snakes and ladders.

Physical - I'm fortunate enough to say that I haven't had injuries on the scale of Herne Hill Hammer, but I have been concussed playing footy a couple of times. The headache is shocking and it's not much fun throwing up all the time (the second time I was concussed, I had a 30 minute car ride home - threw up red Gatorade the whole way)

Mental and Emotional - This is where I probably make up for my lack of physical injuries. All my life I'd suffered anxiety, but between September 2012 and July 2017 I was a complete wreck with OCD. It just got progressively worse, going from tapping a doorknob a couple of times when I opened it to completing a 20-minute tapping routine before bed, every night. It took a huge toll on me, but fortunately in January 2017 I started going to a psychologist, and by June I was on medication. I owe quite a bit to my psychologist, she turned my life around. Absolute legend. I still take the meds now and I'm going pretty good now

What I can't make up for though is the missed opportunities from that time. I was in Grade 6 in 2013 and Year 7 in 2014, so I was not in a great place to be moving into adolescence. There were a lot of times I could have (and probably should have) developed strong friendships and relationships with other students when I started high school, but I think some of the compulsions I would do turned people away from me and probably ruined their perception of me. I'm still feeling it now, when the OCD was still developing and not too bad I got along with a lot of people really well and I fitted in quite well, but I'm a bit of an outcast now. But, I have some very close friends who understand me quite well, and I'm starting to meet new people, which has been fantastic. Fingers crossed the good vibes keep going this term!

Short Term physical - Broke several foot bones and snapped all three ligaments in ankle when running full speed across a carpark and rolled my foot on the edge of an unseen speedbump.

Long Term - Ross River Virus.........every single movement hurt like hell. Couldnt move at all.

Top 3 physical:

• Fractured tibia requiring screws and plates. 3 months to walk again, over a year to run. (ruined career which made that injury hurt even more)
  
• Multiple fractures of proximal, distal, middle phalanx requiring screws and plates and broken ribs (4 weeks post surgery now)
• Fractured tibial plateau, patella edema, hip contusion, mild headache.

Watch out for those mild headaches, they're the killers. The rest of it looks a walk in the park.

Stomach lining inflamed/food poisoning when I was a kid. For 2-3 days just rolling around in bed looking for the best position to sleep. Broken/fractured ribs and recently hurting the disc in my back.
I go to the dentist regularly to get cleanings and I feel that these people would know best on how to inflict pain on someone. When they hit a sensitive spot in your teeth yikes! Yes I have seen the Marathon Man as well!

C-section recovery

My worst fear, already have a nasty scar on my stomach so can do without the c section scar.

 

[CazC30]

Women always play the childbirth card in this discussion to which I say you've never been hit really hard in the bollocks.

Err hello! I don't know about child birth but I was kicked dead on the pubic bone and I can assure you it was so painful. You guys make a meal out of being kicked in the crotch but you have those air bags which offer some protection. For us there is nothing but curtains.

The scar is tiny actually and very low, covered by my knickers.

Now this depends on the style of underwear... Without creating a debate and getting the kids excited. Are you talking high or low waist.

I've been pretty lucky, 29 and the closest thing to a broken bone is a 1-2 day ankle strain from roller skating. In Year 7-9 I often got these abdominal tummy aches, where they were basically there all day until you could have a long lie down. If you felt it when you were heading off to school in the morning you knew the day was going to be thoroughly uncomfortable, hard to think about much else. There were desperate times where I just had to find somewhere out of the way (like a little used public toilet or subway bench) and just lie down for half an hour, rarely spent a period in sick bay. Just growing pains I guess, ymmv, but whenever they hit they felt pretty debilitating (and I only ever told my mum about them). It's those persistent mysterious pains that sporadically visit, you can't ignore and hang around all day. Got heaps of ultrasounds but don't remember there being a proper diagnosis. Seemed to disappear in Year 9 (probably following a puberty growth spurt). I don't think it was ever full on appendicitis or anything.

Even after surgery checkout, I've never used painkillers or panadol/aspirin. Whenever I've been given the painkiller prescription for various things, I never use it.

I was dying at 18 months old, so whatever I was feeling then. Doctors had no answers, had given up. Mother was giving birth to my younger brother, so Dad had to deal with it, luckily things turned around.

I'd say the emotional one. Losing your favourite person. Grief at about 6 months becomes the new reality, and until the 2 year mark or so is fairly unpleasant. I'd rather any physical pain than go through another round of that.
