Damaged but actually didn't hurt: About 4 years ago I was helping a friend trailer his boat. I was standing on the tongue of the trailer while he coasted the boat onto the trailer. What I didn't know was that the bow mount trolling motor was on. When I reached out for the bow of the boat to hook the chain to it, I got a hand full of prop. To use a CSI term, there was significant high speed blood splatter. It split my hand from between my fingers down into my palm. As I was shock or something, it didn't really hurt that bad. My friend, who was in more shock than me, was in no position to drive me to emergency so I drove myself. Couldn't find a parking spot at the hospital so I had to park 2 blocks away in a residential area. I thought it must have looked weird for a guy covered in blood to be walking down the sidewalk. I still have a couple fingers that feel fuzzy where the nerves were knicked but probably one of the luckiest accidents that I've every been in. Well, unless you count the time I drowned.
Most pain you've ever experienced?

Drowning? Now there's one I've tried but it just wouldn't take. Picture being strapped to the bottom side of a 10 foot Zodiac with a 10hp motor running wide open and no one else on board to help out. It took a bit to figure my way out of that one. Still have the sneakers I was wearing at the time with the cuts in them from the propeller. That's a ride that will really wake you up, that's for sure.

Glad they did that, SuperD. Now, always remember that God gave us lungs and not gills, so please don't ever try that underwater breathing thing anymore. laugh hyst I wouldn't mind getting the chance to fish along side of you some day and if you go and do something like that again I might have to wait until we can fish together on the other side of this life. And I don't know what the regulations over there will be. 101justkidding101

I can vouch for kidney stones being the most painful experience. I've had seven of them over the years.
I was reminded of one last night that doesn't deserve to be at the top of any list but should get honorable mention. I got up at a commercial to go to the kitchen and kicked the leg to the coffee table with my baby toe and bare feet. Made a grown man want to cry!!!

I suffer from a degenerative knee condition(osteoarthritis) when the weather or barometric press changes drastically, I begin to feels the effects of it. Winter conditions is my worst enemy. As an aircraft mechanic, I have been crawling around on my hands & knees which has greatly contibuted to my condition. My doctor tells me I need knee replacement evently but in the mean time, I have been going thru a series of 5 injections of Hyalgan in each knee once a week. I have 1 more injection and I'm good for another 9 month plus. But going in there for these injections is a real killer. I watch an approx. 2" needle inserted into each knee and the juice is pouring on. After all is done, I walk out with tears in my eyes every week. That HURTS crymeariver Doc says this will get me thru the summer. This is my second series of injections. Can't wait for the next series. 101shock1101

Well pilgrim I know what your talking about. after 35 yrs falling timber when a DR. ask me if I have ever broken a bone I always ask him if I can tell him the ones still unbroken. Shorter list. Still the torn bicep and X torn rotor cuff ranks right up there with broken bones and ruptured disk.101jason101101jason101 MY AINT WE HAD FUN

101idea101laugh hystI wonder where this "Golden Year" B.S. Came from.I think the golden years are 30 to 50 after that its all down hill. Until your 30 you don't know what you want or how to get it. Between 30 and 50 Its just more fun than the law should allow. Golden years beat the alternative and don't take me wrong. I do enjoy everyday. They just seem to hurt a bit more now.101cheers101 It's all good tho. Aint we got fun??????

That was painful just to read, I hope you recover quickly and still fish while you heal.
However, if you don't tell us the whole story instead of the short version, we will just make a story up which may not be too flattering.101justkidding101

That would be interesting to see what you would come up with. I will have to tell the story.
I was helping my sister at a fair on Sunday, the guy next to her stand had no idea what he was doing. He didn't know how to release the ball from the trailer. He assumed it was stuck when he came and asked me. At this point he took the ball out of the hitch on the van, the the ball mount and ball were just being held there by the coupler. I went to go help and I released the ball and it fell then bounced on my toe. Mind you, this was at 8:00am and I worked till 1:00am, the EMT's would come and check on my toe and replace the gauze evey two hours.. I finally went and got it checked out last night.

Wow, You guy's sound like a sorry bunch. Hurts to remember all the hurts. Nothing like some of you guy's though. Dropped one of those big old copper fire extinguisher on my big toe once. can't do anything to a broken toe. Broken collar bone, didn't hurt till the next day. About 3 or 4 maybe more bone marrow biopsy's after chemo for leukemia, mental block for the pain. I likened it to having a turkey baster shoved though your hip bone. Drown once, just like they say if you go down 3 times your done. Three times for me, I was dragged out and brought back but I didn't see any bright light. Smashed finger in a big swing gate still hurts like hell if I tap it on anything. Bad knee, on going pain. Back pain for 36 years. Slipped off a boat trailer and ripped 4"x1/2" deep gash in my leg on a remote fishing trip. Can't think of anymore biggies.
