How much Pain????

Peter, have you ever thought about taking up a different sport?

Badminton perhaps?

Dan....Believe it or not despite the lung bursting training and constant bangs...I would live through my playing career all over again without a second's hesitation. Great times.

Rugby is good for you, list so far from Union not the simplified League abomination

Cracked cheekbone
Broken ribs
Nose broken at least 8 times
Broken fingers god knows how many
Ruptured anterior cruciate
Three cracked vertebrae in neck
Broken toes again can't remember how many times
Cracked knuckle (hurt the other guy more )

Gallstones are painful. Not much good can be said about them. I had 9 the size of smallish marbles - apparently the norm is a few the size of a small pea. I think I've still got them in a pot somewhere if anyone wants to see them. I may put them on eBay at some point, tho I thought I'd hold off until I was mega-famous as that would maximise the amount I'd get for them.

I dropped something on my toe once. Hurt for a few mins, and then settled down a bit, so all good. Unfortunately, it was still bleeding under the nail. As it bled more underneath the nail, it was trying to rip the toenail off. After bathing it in both very hot and very cold water to see if that would help, I drove down to casualty, where I had my toenail drilled...

And I've got (I think) an ingrowing hair on my wrist which hurts like something which really hurts. If someone grabs me by the wrist, even when they let go, it hurts just as much for a few minutes afterwards.
I've tried to make a docs appt to get it cut out, but they always seem too busy to be able to make an appointment.

OUCH!!!!!

I forgot... I went over the Handle bars of my bike (when I was a kid ) and broke my nose but was unconcious so didn't feel that.... much...! My sister called me "Puff the magic Dragon" cos my face swelled so much!
I've still got a bent nose even now!

Kidney stones. 'Nuff said.

I had a cyst removed in February should've been a half day job ended up being in over night and didn't stop bleeding for five days and could sit up properly for a week the pain was indescribable (sp)

Pain... I have friends who take care of that for me.

They're called Mr Tramadol-Hydrochloride and Mr Diclofenac-Sodium and very nice they are too.

Hmmmmm. Falling down an embankment and spraining my ankle really badly hurt a hell of a lot. Wouldn't want to do that again

Getting kicked in the knee cap a few weeks ago made me feel a bit sick and hurt a lot

Sounds a bit wussy compared to some of you lot

I think that I had one in March. It started the day before I went on holiday. It was very difficult to concentrate on the work I had to finish before I went because of the pain. Eventually the pain eased enough for me to be able to ride home. I couldn't get a doctors appointment that evening and was flying off to New Zealand the next morning. Fortunately I was OK for the flight, but the pain came back much worse a couple of nights later. Spent the night doubled up in agony and drinking as much water as I could to try to flush it. Mrs Wyrdness was worried in case she had to try to get me to a hospital - not being able to drive, nor knowing where one was or even how to call an ambulance in NZ! The pain went eventually and hasn't come back since. I'm still not 100% sure that it was a kidney stone but I seem to have had all of the symptoms.
