What is the worst injury you have ever suffered?
How did you go about recovering?

I'll share my experience, exactly four weeks ago I slipped and fell over backwards while ice skating. My right boot was caught on the ice while my body fell in the opposite direction, twisting my ankle outwards pretty badly.

What followed half a second later was the excruciating pain, I was screaming and rolling back and forth until I finally calmed down only because I was starting to lose consciousness!

I wasn't able to walk for two weeks but now I'm limping. I'm seeing a physio for treatment doing all sorts of rehab exercises.

I wouldn't call it an injury, but the two kidney stones I had as a kid was some of the worst pain I have felt in my life.

As a kid I broke my wrist during P.E. then another year I did exactly the same with the other wrist.

Last year I had appendicitis so was in hospital for a few days.

My worst injury was a head injury from an accident in 2010 where I was riding along with my dad and brother. I was comatose for 3 days. My dad didn't survive, but my brother and I did.

The concussion was so severe I did lose some bits of memory, and was in so much shock that I was combative. I was mostly bedridden for a week after I got out of the hospital.

I've been lucky enough to not really have a whole lot of injuries. I sprained my wrist when I was 5 while roller skating, I fell on it while it was twisted in a pretty bad angle and all my weight was on it..that hurt pretty bad. When I was around 10-11 I fell off the merry-go-round and fell on my right arm and I'm pretty sure I fractured it but I can't remember. I know I didn't break it, but I kept it in a sling for a while cause I could barely use it.

I don't know if this counts as an injury but I did have a chalazion (which is basically just a cyst but it's right inside your eyelid and they rarely go away on their own) when I was 16 and I had to get it removed surgically. The only problem was they don't sedate you for that. They don't even give you painkillers.

Don't read if you get queasy easily or are hyper sensitive to eye-stuff.

Spoiler:

I was put in a chair like you're seated in at the dentist, where you're tilted back. They stuck a huge needle right into my eyelid and warned me beforehand that if I move, flinch, or blink at all I could permanently damage my eyesight. They told me that was the worst part. Wrong. Once the shot supposedly numbed my eye enough (it didn't) the doctor stuck a clamp to hold my eye open. The rest is a little bit of a blur because I was in SO much pain from the clamp. I could feel him tugging and pulling under my eyelid but it didn't hurt nearly as much as my eye being forced open. I was literally screaming, lol. My mom was in the room and she said she had literally never experienced anything so graphic.

i had bronchial spasms one summer. it was absolutely terrible. I had to go to the emergency room and everything for them.

Its basically a really, really bad cough that is extremely painful and closes up your throat so it makes it difficult to breath after coughing. I could deal with it, but I had to go to the ER when it spiked.
