As an adult, what kind of physical pain managed to reduce you to tears?

Question

In my case three broken toes after hitting a stone.
I was very close to tears when I suffered of kidney stones and when I broke my ankle, but I managed to hold back my tears.

And you?

Answer 1

2 broken toes and a kick in the nuts

Answer 2

When I had an absess in my mouth. Tears more from frustration at lack of sleep and the constant pain than anything. To put that in prospective, I have been hit in the face with a crow bar, stabbed in the arm and chest and broken my wrist, all of which failed to put me down or make me cry in pain. I can honestly understand why it's said that inflicting dental pain is a common form of torture. oh, forgot also had someone hold a red hot lighter on my arm twice for several seconds. scars are still there 10, and 3 years later. that didnt even make me flinch.

Answer 3

I had cellulitis a couple years ago after having abdominal surgery. My fever spiked to 103.8, I felt like I was freezing to death, my entire abdomen & chest had a horrible infection/rash from the cellulitis and I was in terrible pain. It literally reduced me to tears and acting like I was 6 years old again.

After I was hospitalized for 8 days and on the mend, my doctor told me how serious the infection was and that I was lucky to be alive. The cellulitis had spread infection into my bloodstream.

I have heard kidney stones are extremely painful, you must have the stamina of a horse to withhold tears when you had the pain from them!

Answer 4

Having the dressing changed on a wound caused by a surgically removed abcess. Painkiller medications are totally ineffective against this sort of pain; even when I ingested morphine tablets it made me groggy but did not reduce the pain in any way. In the end I used breathing and relaxation techniques taught by the nurse, and that worked where morphine did not!

Answer 5

When I fell down the stairs this morning!!
:-(
I was on my way down the stairs and my foot slipped from under me... I went backwards and went down about half way... banging my back, neck, left arm and hip.. however my ar$e has came off worse! I'm battered and bruised and am trying to battle on at work.. (what a brave little soldier I am! lol).
I tell you, I haven't fallen on the stairs since I was a child and it was quite a shock, I was shaking for ages... bloomin' hurt too... managed to hold back tears but it was touch and go at one point when a tear nearly dropped!

Answer 6

I fell down the stairs and sprained my ankle and when the doctor examined it he told me I would have been better off breaking it. I was in plaster for 3 months. Trust me they were tears of pain

Answer 7

Toothache. I had toothache so excruciating I can't begin to describe it. Went to an emergency dentist at 11pm it was so bad.

To give you an idea(well, the women one) I had my 3rd child with gas and air only and he was a back to back delivery.

I'd do that again rather than have the toothache.

Answer 8

Had tattoo's including on my back, had two children with no pain relief and i have crohns and none of that has made me shed a tear. Odd really because i cried when Fry lost his dog on futurama.

Answer 9

this is been a pair of years for me. My abdomen grew to become into hurting so undesirable. All i ought to do grew to become into lie there and look ahead to the soreness to circulate away. And definite...I cried! ultimately, I went to the emergency room and found out that I had an ulcer. OUCH! in my view, i do no longer think of age performs a area while it includes soreness. If something hurts and there is no longer something you're able to do to make the soreness circulate away, i think of this is only organic which you may cry. I even have continuously heard that kidney stones harm very badly. this is sufficient to deliver a grown guy to his knees, so i be attentive to this wasn't hassle-free for you in any respect. don't be embarassed b/c you be attentive to the way you felt. Crying is only an emotional subject. You have been hurting and there grew to become into no longer something to ease the soreness. Did your colleagues be attentive to you had kidney stones? in the event that they did, they probable knew why you have been crying. in the event that they did no longer be attentive to, they have been probable greater in touch than something. i does no longer hassle approximately it in any respect. besides, there's no longer something you're able to do approximately it now. So positioned all of it in the back of you, and circulate forward.

Answer 10

Having a baby without an epidural.
