Cluster Headaches. Ugh, I wouldn't wish them on anyone. Also, my appendix bursting didn't feel all that great either, but I ranked that a 6 on the 1-10 scale with Cluster Headaches being my 10.
In terms of like fun pain that I accidentally inflicted upon myself during fun activities, none are really coming to mind.
Could partially be because growing up my mom didn't really acknowledge pain with sayings like, "What in the world did you expect to happen?", "No one told you to * insert reason why I'm in excruciating pain. *", "Honestly, I have no idea what goes through your head sometimes."
Probably stemming from her mother growing up who sent her to school with a broken arm after spitting on it and rubbing it in as, "this'll fix it" among other things, haha.
I can't remember what happened, but I remember my mom going, "Why didn't you tell me?!" And I just took my hand touched my thumb and ring finger and moved them around a bit. To which she just went, "Oh my G-d, I'm the worst mother ever." As that was her main fallback on injuries, requests, and general anything. The ring/thumb motion was to symbolize, "The littlest violinist in the world playing 'My Heart Bleeds For You.'" We had a good laugh as a result, haha.
I think the reason I don't really remember most of my pain is that I'm usually getting knocked unconscious as a result of my antics.

When I was younger I jumped out of a tree and smashed my knee into my face, I was groggy when I got up, and my brother looked well shocked at what he saw, so I decided to run home, when I got in my mother started screaming because I had bit through my bottom jaw and there was a big hole in my face where my labret was and there was blood all down my dungarees, it didn't actually hurt al that much to be honest as I had smashed my face with my knee so it was pretty numb, I know have a wee scar on me chin which is fortunate because I remember over hearing my mother crying to my father about how her beautiful son is going to be so badly scared. Parents have to put up with loads of shit.

ha ha this one was probably the worst actually and also very funny (to me anyway)
I launched myself off a rope swing and ended up landing in a gorse bush and my mother had to sit me up on a worktop and pull all the thorns out of my skin pretty sore likesey!!
(gorse actually smells very pleasent it's like coconut or something)

Snowboarding accident at Breckinridge, X-mas 2001:
Last run of the day. Caught an edge, cartwheeled a few times
and knocked myself out.
The result:
Ripped my large abdominal muscles all the way across my tummy,
chipped my shoulder, and a concussion as a topping.
The kicker:
Was layed up on the couch for 8 weeks.
Around week six:
My wife had been taking care of me (best wife ever). She wanted a break one night, so she went out drinking with some friends. The back door to our apartment was in our bedroom, and I left it unlocked so she could come in. Drunk as all hell, my wife burst through the door while I was sleeping, causing me to spring up from my sleep scared/shocked shitless. I re-ripped all the stomach muscles again. 8 more weeks on the couch and more vicodan.Another indecent:
Got mugged in East Liberty (Pittsburgh). Got pistol-whipped in the face. and was knocked out cold.The result was a split/cracked tooth that had to be extracted. They robbed me for 30 bucks. The funny thing about the whole situation was, when they finished robbing me, one of the guys held out his hand and helped me up back on my feet.- Jesus that first one sounds horrendous. The second just reminds me of how nice everyone is actually in Pittsburgh, haha.flavorful
- Pittsburgh. My friend got robbed one time, and the guy took his keys. He asked if he could have the house key back as he didn't want to wake up his mother.flavorful
- as he didn't want to wake up his mother. The guy then starts laughing and goes, "Oh for sure man, I don't mean to ruin your whole nite." or something, haha.flavorful
- your whole nite" or something, haha.flavorful
- LOL. did that happen in PGH? If so, maybe muggers here have like a strict code of ethics to follow haha.mangosnot
- well of course it was the last run of the daymegE
- Doofus, i was having a
"moment " here.mangosnot

Oh man, I think I try to just forget about pain now that I think about it.
The most consistently painful thing I have ever gone through, was such a severe case of sunburn, haha.
Went down to visit the biddy at the beach a few summer's ago and I show up, we have a great nite, lots of fun. Good times. I was going to stay down there for a bit, then go to NYC to catch the Pirates play the Yankees. It was a great week trip and I was really looking forward to it, and it started off well.
The next day, we wake up and go meet her friends down at the beach to soak in the sun or whatever. For those of you that do not know, I am stark white. And I had brought SPF-50 or something that other people find ridiculous, but is vital to my survival during the day.
Get my back all did, legs, face, laughing the entire time as it is quite the process. Well genius had shoes on.
45 minutes in, I get woken up as I passed out immediately. "Jer, you're already starting to turn pink, I think we need to get you indoors."
Went back showered up, felt great but I couldn't put my shoes on as the sun burn was bad on the tops of my feet. In fact ... my ankles were swelling up. Pretty soon, I couldn't walk as my ankles swelled up to the size of grapefruits and it became apparent we missed a strip on my stomach as well.
It has been the only time I ever drank to purposely black out. I knew beer wasn't going to cut it, so I requested 4 bottles of Mad Dog.
Did not help I stumbled my way to a party using her as a crutch, which afterward upon sitting down - I was unable to get up. And I had people running back smacking my legs and running away, as they didn't believe that sun burn could be that bad. It was the first time I ever honestly thought about hitting a girl, as I told my one friend if she got within arm reach I was going to hit her like a dude.
Just awful. Had to sleep at the place I was at, as I could not fathom walking back to the biddies which was like a block away.
I end up just sitting there for 2 days as I can't do anything walking related. The girl who had hit my legs a bunch felt so bad she was basically my maid the entire time, haha.
Finally, I couldn't take it and just said I was going to say fuck it, drive home, and just crash there as I felt like an idiot. 8 hours.
When I was driving through Baltimore traffic came out of nowhere and I had to slam on the brakes. Which hurt so fucking bad, but was only sent into the upper stratosphere as a result of my phone flying off my lap and nailing my ankle. So there I am, it's rush hour in Baltimore, music is blaring, I'm shirtless, and tears are shooting out of my eyes like a sprinkler. And I'm just laughing like a maniac.
Finally make it home. Next day I decide fuck it, I'm going to fucking stand and piss like a man damn it, a man! Half-way though the pain gets so bad I have to try and sit on the shower, misjudge fall backwards into the tub pissing all over myself, again laughing like a psycho. After laying there for awhile I just turned on teh water and then attempted to take a shower.
Then I ordered a few cases of beer and actually had to have the guy put them in my fridge for me.
The next nite I go, "Fuck it, I'm on vacation, I'm going out. Just drink until it doesn't hurt." As anyone with pain can attest, trying to get drunk when you are constantly being reminded how you want to chop off your limbs does not lend itself to getting drunk for some reason. An alarming amount of booze later, I call a cab.
Show up where my friends are at, and the bouncer goes, "Holy shit, you smell like a g-ddamn brewery. You're cut off man. Jesus you can barely even walk." To which I point to my ankles, go, "I have sunburn and I'm trying to forget about it." Free shots, and drinks the rest of the nite, haha.
Actually had to take off the next week of work too, and still had to wear tennies and my feet were still too big to get in dress shoes.
2+ weeks of that, in the middle of summer which is my favourite time of the year.
Absolutely fucking awful.
- What does sunburn mean?Jaline

I did have my face repeatedly rubbed into astroturf [think - face first into the cheese grater] during a brawl that broke out in the last game of an indoor footy tournament in year 11... I was innocently trying to break up fights and sort things out and the next thing I knew I was on the ground with some bloke on top of me, handful of my hair, grating away... I clocked him in the head with my elbow but it only made him more angry.. after the police had been called and sorted things out, I later learned that he was even a player, he was one of the trainers who was about 25 and on steroids...
My face was one giant raspberry... good time... oh, good time...
- My last game of the season is tomorrow... I hope this does not happen, haha.flavorful

I think I've been lucky here. I can only think of a few things.
During wreslting I landed odd on my shoulder and couldn't lift it/move it for about 10 seconds. It wasn't rediculously painful, but scary and I was trying my hardest to lift if and it wasn't responding... after a bit feeling returned and it was better.

A girl once told me that she had a house party and was (rightly) hammered. after acting saucy for some onlookers, she fell on a rare (and large) elephant tusk her parents had brought back from africa. it tore through her underwear and went up her cooch. several stitches later, she'll never be that idiot that dances over an elephant tusk again.
