Eyesa Horg Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 As I've said before, trailer hitches are gods way of showing you where your shin is. Ouch! I can feel it from here!

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 I can think of hundreds of things that hurt more and don't involve trailer hitches.......and at one time or another I've found a large percentage of them myself. I thought my scars were fading away. A nurse at the VA suggested that they are simply running together. 2 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 36 minutes ago, T.K. said: KIDNEY STONES! Plus 847 Billion. I have lived a somewhat active life and paid for it over time. Football, wrestling, motorcycle accidents, car accidents. I have broken ankles, my nose a couple times, ribs, wrists and my orbital socket. Destroyed my knees, torn muscles and had my eyes flash burned in a welding mishap. I have had multiple hernias and had an intestinal rupture. Ya know when you hurt yourself or you're sick and the Dr./ Nurse asks your "pain number"? I thought I had a pretty good handle on that pain scale - I knew what zero feels like and I figured that while there had to be worse pains than I had experienced - I probably understood up to an eight or a nine. When I had kidney stones - I had to completely reevaluate my understanding of whole body, brain melting, soul crushing agony. Everything else that I had ever experienced was automatically pushed down a peg or two because I had just discovered a new high end. Everything else (that I have experienced) - you bite down, suck in deep breaths, attempt to mentally focus. I only time I have ever passed out was from dehydration during two a days football practice in a humid Michigan summer with a coach who believed with holding water was a training tool. So I had never experienced my body going traitor and shutting down on me solely from pain - Kidney stones nearly made that happen. I woke up feeling poorly and was debating between going to work or calling in sick. By the time I had dropped off Desert Scorpion at school; that debate had progressed to going home or going to Quick Care. Quickly after that - it became Quick Care or an Emergency room and after that - it was simply a question of whether I made it to the Emergency room. I ran every stop sign and redlight driving because my brain had already recognized, If I stopped - I would pass out. I walked into the Emergency room and was asked what was wrong; apparently when a 6 ft 250lb man with tears streaming down his face says simply "I don't know" and falls - the medical profession reacts. I would not wish Kidney stones upon my worst enemy. Not on Democrats, not on Tik Tokers, not on the Philadelphia Eagles, not on George Santos or onto California drivers. Tho I will tell you that drugs are an amazing thing. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Like @Creeker, SASS #43022 I have had lots of injuries and have the scars to prove it, but I have never had kidney stones because I drink lots of water every and have for years. But I had an injury pain that totally made realize that what I thought was a 10 on the pain scale really wasn’t. The day the 4 ribs from vertebra T6 down became separated at their breaks and two of them punctured my left lung near my spine. Glory Hallelujah! Was that the most incredible sensation I have ever had. Intense pain the like I hadn’t experienced before. I had a bike crash Thursday. The folks at the ghetto hospital called St Francis in Los Angeles sent me home with some painkillers and said I would be fine. Saturday after a shower the ribs popped free as I reached for a towel. I went to the ER and ended up having rib plating surgery and nifty tubes running out of me to drain various fluids the were where they shouldn’t be. I used to consider whacking my shin on a trailer hitch to be really really painful. I was wrong. It is painful, but it’s no longer at the top of my list.

Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 @Pat Riot I have gone on a water kick as well. For health and to wean myself off my soda addiction (and hopefully drop a few pounds). And I fully agree ribs are nasty and mine were simple breaks. My Dr. informed me that Kidney Stones are as much a product of dehydration as the things you drink. His example was a cup of coffee (probably not a perfect analog - but understandable) - as long as it has liquid in the cup; the coffee remains dissolved and in suspension - easy to pour out. But let the liquid evaporate and you are left with a crusty material in the cup. In the human body - this crusty material can bond together and then need to pass; as he phrased it, "now you get to push a ninja throwing star thru a drinking straw". Stay on the water everyone. Avoid trailer hitches and Kidney Stones. And let's all have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Jolly Kwanza, Fabulous Festivus, (or whatever your failth, family or beliefs dictate) with a Happy New Year and a healthy 2024 for all. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Lizard Yup, that's always the comeback from the ladies. Kidney stones? Ha! You aint felt nothing until you've pushed a human out of your happy spot.

And to a person, they've all told me that they'd FAR rather deliver another child than experience 'stones again. AND they all have said "Oh! And it's gotta be MUCH worse for you men!" Hm.

Eyesa Horg Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Kidney stones definitely defy the 1-10 pain chart. Don't ever want to do that ever,ever again. Hands down the worst pain I ever dealt with,period. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Warning of graphic description ~ if of a sensitive nature read no further! As delicately as I can describe it... my first experience was while standing at the "facility" in the men's room at work. Suddenly, it was as if the devil himself had thrown a "bolwing ball hold" on me with a huge, red-hot iron hand and gripped with all his might. I thought the top of my head was going to lift off, and seriously thought I was going to stroke out and that my last conscious experience on this Earth would be hitting the linoleum. Fortunately, *ahem*, it did pass. I have also learned that the ER staff takes 'em seriously. I have also learned that morphine has interesting effects. Did you know that some music has colors and some scents actually have patterns, like plaid and paisley~? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) Yes. But I can’t share here. Not a kidney stone and it is recurring medical condition, and I will probably have to deal with it til I’m dead. It knocked me unconscious on one occasion. All of the others times I wish it had. I’ll leave it at that. Treatment in a burn unit when they start peeling off dead flesh I’ve heard tops about everything.

I have seen music in technicolor when they morphined me for a kidney stone....then they did a roto-router surgery on me at the same time and I spent almost a year with a Foley catheter. It's a toss up between kidney stones and broken ribs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Chapo Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I got knee surgery a week ago today. I'm not sure it's the absolute worst pain I've ever felt, but it sure is persistently painful.
