Things that really hurt...

Bet that wasn't the only painful occurrence to happen in the shower blocks....

Poppers was our friend :jester:

Also agree about astro burns.

I played a lot of hockey and my knees are just scar tissue now. There was one time when my bandage fell off overnight and my scab formed around the bedsheet. It was a rude awakening when I turned over.

I have friend who was getting out of a big wooden rowing boat and slipped hitting his bollocks on a metal rowlock with one foot in the boat and one foot out. I imagine that was pretty painful and eye watering.

When you get something sharp going underneath your fingernail- I've reached into a bag before and unwittingly managed to prod something sharp & pointy up underneath one of my nails. That hurts for AGES, and the pain is completely disproportionate to the size of the injury.

I suppose the same principle applies to all these "gentlemen's injuries" you lot are describing. A huge amount of pain for something so tiny :D


pah...!

The pain of having kidney stones is bad enough but it is difficult to put into words the feelings when dispelling them. It's very bloody!!!

Isn't "rowlock" pronounced "rollock"?

That being the case, there really is something quite poetically amusing about the incident you refer to.

My daughter had kidney stones that brought on pancreatitis and needed immediate surgery. The doctor told her afterwards that it was just about the most painful thing you could have without passing out and was life threatening, seeing the agony that she was in I can well believe it.

That was the cause of some merriment at the time, he wasn't best amused.

Why would you do that?!?!

Climbing a telephone pole in abut 1985, there were still some of the old uninsulated "open wires" about. Pole had a lot of wires on it and I didn't realise, because it was really cold, that one was snagged behind my ear. Until someone rang the number it carried and the 50v DC (which you cannot feel) changed to 80v AC (which you can).

Any hammer to finger/thumb/hand related incident, more so in the winter months when working in an ingested workshop.

Also getting a finger caught between wheel & tyre bead

Opening the door out to the top floor of the multistorey car park at Worthing seafront and having a gale force wind slam it straight back on your finger, completely severing the tendon.

I thought all NCP car parks had soft closing mechanisms. According to NCP they do. Unfortunately for me, they don't. I'm glad it was my finger and not my 7 year-old's hand, who went through ahead of me. That would have been carnage.
