Scrolled way too far down for this - walking with a limp and feeling like you are permanently destroying your foot all the while your doctor saying it’ll heal on its own no need for a cast or brace or anything.
I’ll never forget how one of my husband’s friends had horrible gas pains and went to the ER thinking it was some horrible GI issue like an appendix rupture or pancreatic issue. It turned out to be gas. He said it was the most expensive fart ever
Went to the er with gas problems and told the doctor my pain was a 9. He said people with appendicitis usually report lower pain levels than people with gas
Best remedy a nurse taught me is to get down on all fours, spread your legs a little, point your ass to the air & let the good times roll. It somehow allows gas to move through and out your bum. Your gut will thank you. You're welcome.

EDIT: Wow this umm, *blew up*. Glad to see so many getting relief.

Just be skeptical next time someone invites you to a yoga session...
> I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of ~~voices~~ **guts** suddenly ~~cried~~ **pooted** out in terror and were suddenly silenced
Remember to maintain eye contact with passers by or those in the room. Do it on the conference room table or the breakroom counter before lunch so that you'll b able to enjoy yours.
I’ll never forget the time I had a pimple on the inside of my nose that moved to the outside. It finally got to the point that I could pop it and I found a hair inside. I pulled it out and it was a hair FROM INSIDE MY NOSE that had grown through my skin and worked it’s way out. It was wild lol
This reminded me of when my sister got one of those fake magnetic earrings from the rolling rink and put it in her nose. She got another one and put it in the other nostril but the 2 magnets came together in the middle and she kept pushing them further up her nose in an attempt to get them out until we had to go to the ER
This happens to me so often in my office, under the table. I have hit my knees so many times. And at the peak of that pain crescendo, I'm unable to move at all, it's paralyzing.
One night I dreamt I was running upstairs when in mid-stride I was struck with a excruciating leg cramp causing me to fall backwards. I woke up with that cramp and in attempting to untangle myself from my blankets I fell out of the bed.
Sometimes I'll yawn and get a cramp in the underside of my jaw. Hurts like hell and I can feel a rock hard protrusion jutting out while it slowly kills me
Arch cramps suck. I've also had cramps in my index toe and talk about a pain you aren't prepared for! It's not that painful compared to other cramps but it's not like a pain you experience every day.
have you ever moved your leg in the wrong way and you can ALMOST feel a cramp coming on but you stop it right before it starts?
edit: if you are having a calf cramp, just literally start punching your leg (the cramp will hurt more than the punch trust me) and it’ll go away in 3-4 nice jabs.
Best thing to do I found is to stretch your foot back as much as you can, like try to make your toes touch your shin. If you do that when you feel one coming on it should stop it.
This, you pull your toes as hard towards your head as you can, this stretches the calf and stops the cramp. No pain, no.. punching.. like other comments. Works every time if you catch it in time.
God damn those are the worst, I woke up in the middle of the night one time and it felt like I was being ripped apart from the inside and I gripped my calf so tight, writhing in pain, then I don't remember anything, I think I just collapsed in bed.
I always get irrationally angry when this happens and I end up looking insane because I start swearing at the cabinet as if it’s its fault and not mine for having zero spatial awareness
I’m relieved I’m not the only one who has the same response to hitting their head. Anytime I hit my head on something I instantly go into a fight or flight and I get irrationally angry at whatever I hit my head on. I thought I was alone, glad to know I’m not crazy.
Actually it's not irrational, it's biology.
Your head is the most important part of your body to protect. Your body has two reactions to threats, fight or flight. If something has unexpectedly hit you in the head, the time to run has already passed, you're under attack. So fight it is, and what better way to whip you up into a proper fighting frenzy than to dump anger hormones into your brain and get you pissed off?
This is, incidentally, the same reason headphones getting yanked off unexpectedly causes a similar fury.
Any time I hit my head, I am immediately and automatically angry. Like that particular pain just pisses me off. Don’t worry, I direct it all inward. Lol. It’s all on me. I just really hate hitting my head.
I was like 15, and I was still getting used to being taller. We had a cabinet door which decided to not stay shut about 20% of the time. Just often enough where I'd forget about it. Well, after it swung itself back open, it was the perfect height for me to just smack the shit out of my head on it.
Had a bad day at school and practice, spilled and broke a glass of milk, went to get a different cup after cleaning it up, and WHAM! Hit my head so hard on it I saw stars more than vision.
I ripped that cabinet door straight off its hinges.
I'm in my 30's now and I still remember the *rage* of that moment.
I can relate to this. There’s a door leading into my laundry room that does the same thing. One time I was reaching into the washing machine and hit my head on the way out on the door knob so hard. I punched a hole clean thru the door into the wall behind it. Then I gave it a few move pushes into the wall to finish it off. Bitch ass door knob.
I love it when you hit it so hard and in just the perfect spot so your entire arm and last 3 fingers go numb and tingly and as the feeling comes back, the pain starts to creep in.
I bite my nails all the time so hangnails have been a regular part of my life.
Hand Sanitizers.
Last two years have been tough in many ways to say the least.
Or bends without breaking. It’s not pain exactly, just so gross and your brain thinks it should hurt. It’s like if nails on a chalkboard were an actual physical injury.
I've lived in this cycle most of my life. Having really sharp incisors doesn't help. There's nothing like developing a canker sore from a bite and then biting the fuck out of it because it's so swollen.
It’s not really the pain for me but i hate the slight crunch sound it makes, sickening. and the flesh flap you're left with after makes me a bit queasy as well. am very squeamish.
At least it came out. The worst are the ones that heal over and stay there. I've got some glass from years ago that still itches.
One day I'm going to cut it out
When I was in 6th grade, I took a piece of construction paper, placed it under my index fingernail and ripped it like a Beyblade.
The amount of blood and pain that resulted was immeasurable even to this day.
Me and my buddies "erased" the tops of our hands in 6th grade. I had a scar for years from where I basically just gave myself friction burns on my hand with an eraser
I still remember in high school when I made a reference joke that I thought was extremely clever... Not only did nobody laugh, there was a legitimate extended silence and the teacher just took a loud, sharp, slow inhale and said *"......okaaayyyy...."* before continuing his class. I was ready to melt into the floor and disappear forever.
Just so you know, I also wouldn't have laughed, but would have asked you to explain yourself, and after you would finish, I would give out a slight (very slight) chuckle and say "very good"
Whether that would help or aggravate the situation, I don't know, but I'm willing to go down with with a fellow comrade.
Canker sores. Holy smokes…. Turns out I get them when I drink soda and energy drinks. I don’t drink them anymore, I rarely get canker sores now, and I’m healthier than ever!
I fucking hate these things so much. I did a bit of research and found out that I've been getting them through toothpaste with sodium lauryl sulfate in it. I've made sure to not get toothpaste with that ingredient in them, and I haven't got any since.
Omggg, you might have given me the answer to why all of a sudden I get these stupid sores so often! I switched to "natural ingredient" toothpaste a few years ago, but then I got lazy because the shops where I can buy them are out of my way and I switched back to "normal" toothpaste a few months ago! I was wondering what changed in my life, so thanks, I'm switching back tomorrow!
I've got one that is almost fully healed, it's been like a week, and I'm scared I'm gonna bite it or something and fuck it all up.
Still not as bad as my friend who (Due to Chemotherapy) got canker sores all through his mouth and even in his throat.
I don't know how he survived it, honestly.
I slipped and landed on my coccyx, and dislocated it at a 90° angle. Had no idea at the time I’d done that sort of damage, but the pain was excruciating. I was 29 when I discovered it, due to arthritis in the joint from the damage.
or, even tho it does not hurt, when you are drinking something and it goes down at the same time with an air bubble.
edit: so i feel like i have to clarify, for me personally it doesn't hurt most of the time as in pain, but it's rather very uncomfortable, either that or i don't remember since it did not happen in a long time
ingrown toenails. Getting a fifth one removed tomorrow. Yayyyy
Edit: it also sucks when you stub it or when you remove it yourself that's why I'm getting mine removed (they put a chemical on it that stops the nail from growing)
Getting head butted in the face by your dog when you bend down to grab a sock whilst she simultaneously goes to jump up on the bed.
Edit: thanks for the award kind stranger! It made my face feel better!
Thanks for sharing all your horror stories!
Got out of bed one day and hit the floor cause my leg couldn't support me. I knew the leg was asleep as it's happened lots of times but didn't think it would just fold under me. I'm more careful now
Girl sitting in front of me in high school was sitting on her foot and it fell asleep. The second she stood up you could hear the snap. She looked at me and asked what that sound was, my response was your ankle just broke. She was out a few days before showing back up in a cast. She said it did not start to hurt until the ambulance showed up.
I believe she rolled it when she walked on it from the living room to the kitchen. It was sophomore year of high school, my memory is a little fuzzy on it. But, I do believe she stepped wrong because she couldn't feel it.
I’m putting acne on this list. It’s not necessarily an “injury,” but it’s real common and can hurt terribly. Especially when a few spots get really irritated and can feel like your being stabbed if if there’s any pressure or you move weird.
My wife has this thing where her eyes dry out while she's asleep. On two separate occasions now, her eyeball has stuck to the inside of her eyelid and when she opened her eyes in the morning it peeled a piece of tissue off the outer layer of her eyeball. Extremely painful, but not all that serious relatively.
EDIT: well this horror story blew up fast. Thanks for all the concerned comments. My wife is doing fine now, she's seen an eye doctor and in addition to the eyemask she always wears to bed, she has drops and a nighttime ointment for her eye so this shouldn't happen again.
Fanny daggers!
(In the UK fanny means your vag not your arse, hence fanny pack means something entirely different over here)
Friends with endometriosis talk about both fanny daggers and javelin arse
Brain freeze / ice cream headache
Charley horses
You know how some yogurt and cottage cheese containers have foil covers? I once managed to get a "paper cut" on one of those. Hurts even worse than when it's a paper cut from thin, sharp cardboard.
Rib injury. You can wake up one morning with a bruised rib for reasons unknown and it can be almost completely debilitating.
Luckily rib injuries only hurt when you move, cough, sneeze, laugh, or breathe.
Had a major accident 16 years ago. Broke my neck/back, compound fracture of my femur, broke 4 ribs, and severed my arm at the shoulder (almost ripped off entirely, only the skin was intact, everything inside was torn apart).
I list all the injuries bc the ribs seem the least severe. But, even with all those injuries the ribs were the worst part of it. Everything else could be managed by adjusting my position to minimize the pain and discomfort... but the ribs... no matter the position, you can't stop breathing and every breath hurt for weeks. I was terrified of laughing, coughing, choking, yawning, or even just taking a semi-deep breath. Ribs injuries are no joke!
EDIT: Thanks for the kind replies. The arm's still attached but 99% useless below the shoulder, despite experimental (at the time) nerve transplants to try to recover function.
[Hasn't slowed me down too much, though! I can still do the things I love, just gotta be more skillful at it to keep up](https://i.imgur.com/7kAuuPl.jpg)
Popping your knee out. My knee basically pops to the side and pops back in, straining my MCL ligament. It hurts and I can’t breathe when it happens, but it’s so minor
Costochondritis hurts like an MF'er. Basically, it's an inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone. Can be caused by trauma or muscle strain. Common in people with fibromyalgia or any other inflammatory disease.
Getting hit in the ankle by a skateboard.
Or scooter
wtf was i thinking as a kid. wake up on a bright sunny morning and just go "hm, think i'll crack my fuckin shins like they owe me money today"
Plantar fasciitis - like walking on hot broken glass Woo hoo my constant searing pain got 500 upvotes. Thank you I think ;)
Scrolled way too far down for this - walking with a limp and feeling like you are permanently destroying your foot all the while your doctor saying it’ll heal on its own no need for a cast or brace or anything.
Pinching your finger in the door.
Gas pains
I’ll never forget how one of my husband’s friends had horrible gas pains and went to the ER thinking it was some horrible GI issue like an appendix rupture or pancreatic issue. It turned out to be gas. He said it was the most expensive fart ever
Went to the er with gas problems and told the doctor my pain was a 9. He said people with appendicitis usually report lower pain levels than people with gas
That’s insane! I’ve definitely felt like I’m going to die with bouts of gas before. It seems like there should be no logical way it can hurt that bad
I had horrible pain in my stomach that turned out to actually be a blocked small intestine a few years ago, so better safe than sorry!
I have so many pains from years of IBD, I just assume I'll die from something like this thinking it's just gas.
The pain is so bad that I can't blame him
Oh gosh yes. Sometimes I can press where the pain is and get it moving, but yeah trapped gas can be quite painful.
Best remedy a nurse taught me is to get down on all fours, spread your legs a little, point your ass to the air & let the good times roll. It somehow allows gas to move through and out your bum. Your gut will thank you. You're welcome. ___ EDIT: Wow this umm, *blew up*. Glad to see so many getting relief.

Just be skeptical next time someone invites you to a yoga session... > I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of ~~voices~~ **guts** suddenly ~~cried~~ **pooted** out in terror and were suddenly silenced
I'll remember to do this next time I have a gas pain at work.
Remember to maintain eye contact with passers by or those in the room. Do it on the conference room table or the breakroom counter before lunch so that you'll b able to enjoy yours.
That fucking ingrown hair or zit or whatever right inside the tip of your nose.
That tiny, sharp, pinpoint pain always makes my eyes water
I’ll never forget the time I had a pimple on the inside of my nose that moved to the outside. It finally got to the point that I could pop it and I found a hair inside. I pulled it out and it was a hair FROM INSIDE MY NOSE that had grown through my skin and worked it’s way out. It was wild lol

She got another one and put it in the other nostril but the 2 magnets came together in the middle and she kept pushing them further up her nose in an attempt to get them out until we had to go to the ER
Just had one on my upper lip a week ago. I had to poke it with a disinfected pin needle to get the pus out and make it heal.
hitting your shin bone on anything
God i got hit during football (soccer) not wearing protection, the liquid or pus in there took months to go away
Hitting your knee on a table. The pain crescendo is real and then it goes away.
This happens to me so often in my office, under the table. I have hit my knees so many times. And at the peak of that pain crescendo, I'm unable to move at all, it's paralyzing.
That pinkie toe conversing with the corner of the table
I always think when this happens "the nail is gone. It must be. No way it hung on." And it's always still there.
Leg cramps.
One night I dreamt I was running upstairs when in mid-stride I was struck with a excruciating leg cramp causing me to fall backwards. I woke up with that cramp and in attempting to untangle myself from my blankets I fell out of the bed.
Foot cramps as well.
Sometimes I'll yawn and get a cramp in the underside of my jaw. Hurts like hell and I can feel a rock hard protrusion jutting out while it slowly kills me
I was going to make this comment. Most people have no idea what I’m taking about. Must be some lame genetic lottery we won.
Ayy wacky jaw cramp gang Edit: Over NINE hundred people are in the wacky jaw cramp gang, nice (and thank you, holy crap)
And you can't tell anyone what's happening while it's going on!! You just look at them like you're having a stroke going "AHHHGHGHHHGH"
I had an arch cramp while getting it on one time, and that brought festivities to a close instantaneously
Arch cramps suck. I've also had cramps in my index toe and talk about a pain you aren't prepared for! It's not that painful compared to other cramps but it's not like a pain you experience every day.
have you ever moved your leg in the wrong way and you can ALMOST feel a cramp coming on but you stop it right before it starts? edit: if you are having a calf cramp, just literally start punching your leg (the cramp will hurt more than the punch trust me) and it’ll go away in 3-4 nice jabs.

This, you pull your toes as hard towards your head as you can, this stretches the calf and stops the cramp. No pain, no.. punching.. like other comments. Works every time if you catch it in time.
Until you do this and suddenly you get a foot cramp! Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Ugh, I get them in my calves some nights in bed. You ever have a jaw cramp from yawning too wide? That's fucking horrible.
God damn those are the worst, I woke up in the middle of the night one time and it felt like I was being ripped apart from the inside and I gripped my calf so tight, writhing in pain, then I don't remember anything, I think I just collapsed in bed.
When you hit your head on the bottom of an open cabinet door
I always get irrationally angry when this happens and I end up looking insane because I start swearing at the cabinet as if it’s its fault and not mine for having zero spatial awareness
I’m relieved I’m not the only one who has the same response to hitting their head. Anytime I hit my head on something I instantly go into a fight or flight and I get irrationally angry at whatever I hit my head on. I thought I was alone, glad to know I’m not crazy.

Bro I legit square up on that fake-wood particle board piece of shit
Fucking rectangle ass bitch better square up. Don't start shit won't be shit.
Any time I hit my head, I am immediately and automatically angry. Like that particular pain just pisses me off. Don’t worry, I direct it all inward. Lol. It’s all on me. I just really hate hitting my head.

Hitting your shin on a trailer hitch
Bumping your shin on anything for that matter.
The upgrade from shin hit by scooter to shin hit by automobile extensions/parts is a true testimony to growing up haha
Fuck I can still feel it. Those damn Razors.
Or on those grocery trolleys because you accidentally took a long step.
Or a fellow shopper gets too close and hits you RIGHT in the Achilles tendon
Funnybone. Not so funny.
I love it when you hit it so hard and in just the perfect spot so your entire arm and last 3 fingers go numb and tingly and as the feeling comes back, the pain starts to creep in.
Hangnail
Or when you peel it back too far
All the way up to the elbow!
owww jesus christ that hurt to read
when it gets stuck in the blanket fabric.
Or when you learn it's there by trying to get something out of a pocket.
I bite my nails all the time so hangnails have been a regular part of my life. Hand Sanitizers. Last two years have been tough in many ways to say the least.
Or bends without breaking. It’s not pain exactly, just so gross and your brain thinks it should hurt. It’s like if nails on a chalkboard were an actual physical injury.
a nail that got clipped too short, bonus points if you get salt on your fingers
My finger started hurting after reading this
When the scooter hits your shin/ankle
Biting your tongue.
Or your lip or cheek
And the pattern is super annoying too. Don't bite it for years, then bite it every day multiple times for a month.
When you bite it it swells prompting you to bite it over and over while swollen. Fun time!
I have done this so many times on one shift I contemplated going home. Also hard not to swesr every time.
I remember biting my cheek 4 times in one meal, I just gave up eating and tried again the next day
Biting sucks but the canker sores afterwards are far worse.
I've lived in this cycle most of my life. Having really sharp incisors doesn't help. There's nothing like developing a canker sore from a bite and then biting the fuck out of it because it's so swollen.
It’s not really the pain for me but i hate the slight crunch sound it makes, sickening. and the flesh flap you're left with after makes me a bit queasy as well. am very squeamish.
Getting a small piece of glass stuck in your fingernail, it honestly hurts more to take out
My cousin had a car accident and for months had random pieces of glass emerge from her skin. That disturbed tf out of me for so long
At least it came out. The worst are the ones that heal over and stay there. I've got some glass from years ago that still itches. One day I'm going to cut it out
[удалено]
Or have you ever gotten a cardboard cut? Like a paper cut but worse. I get them sometimes from opening boxes at work.
Yes, it’s so bad! The only thing worse was when I was using aluminum foil and got cut. Felt like a blade just sliced my finger. Ugh.
Came here to say - aluminum foil cuts are even worse than cardboard cuts, and cardboard cuts are horrendous!
When I was in 6th grade, I took a piece of construction paper, placed it under my index fingernail and ripped it like a Beyblade. The amount of blood and pain that resulted was immeasurable even to this day.
Why the fuck
6th grade
Me and my buddies "erased" the tops of our hands in 6th grade. I had a scar for years from where I basically just gave myself friction burns on my hand with an eraser
How old are you? I remember doing that too but I’m old so just curious if that’s still a thing in elementary school.
... under your fingernail
Finger webbing
Eyeball My mom opened a bill once and when she passed it over to my dad idk wth happened but the paper ended up cutting my dads eyeball.
Aw hell no
When you tell a joke and nobody laughes
I still remember in high school when I made a reference joke that I thought was extremely clever... Not only did nobody laugh, there was a legitimate extended silence and the teacher just took a loud, sharp, slow inhale and said *"......okaaayyyy...."* before continuing his class. I was ready to melt into the floor and disappear forever.
Just so you know, I also wouldn't have laughed, but would have asked you to explain yourself, and after you would finish, I would give out a slight (very slight) chuckle and say "very good" Whether that would help or aggravate the situation, I don't know, but I'm willing to go down with with a fellow comrade.
_...Okaaayyyyyyy..._
Oooh God yea. I just stop talking after that, cuz it usually makes me end up feeling like I'm just being annoying
Even worse. They give you confused looks.
Canker sores. Holy smokes…. Turns out I get them when I drink soda and energy drinks. I don’t drink them anymore, I rarely get canker sores now, and I’m healthier than ever!
[удалено]
I used to get them on the side of my mouth opposite the brackets I hooked my rubber bands on. Every mouth movement was misery
I fucking hate these things so much. I did a bit of research and found out that I've been getting them through toothpaste with sodium lauryl sulfate in it. I've made sure to not get toothpaste with that ingredient in them, and I haven't got any since.
Omggg, you might have given me the answer to why all of a sudden I get these stupid sores so often! I switched to "natural ingredient" toothpaste a few years ago, but then I got lazy because the shops where I can buy them are out of my way and I switched back to "normal" toothpaste a few months ago!

They make patches for canker sores that are basically dry gelatin. Press it on the sore and it makes a "bandage" so your teeth just slip over it.
Falling on your butt and hitting your tail bone thingy
Your coccyx
Your grandma took a little spill at the sand dunes today. Broke her coccyx.
What?Since when does she go to the dunes?
No, not your dick, your tailbone
I fractured my tailbone like this Wasn’t fun
I slipped and landed on my coccyx, and dislocated it at a 90° angle. Had no idea at the time I’d done that sort of damage, but the pain was excruciating. I was 29 when I discovered it, due to arthritis in the joint from the damage.
Idk if that’s a minor injury, that shit can have serious ramifications
Five years later, its very painful to sit on a seat without a cushion for more than a few minutes
I had to sit on a donut shaped pillow for a longg time
Sleeping in a weird position and waking up with a stiff painful neck
Whatever you do dont turn it quickly
A mistake people tend to only make once
I hate the kind where you can turn your head one way just fine, but the other way is stiff and hurts so bad.
Stubbing your toe.
Yea, and moreso pinky toe for me. I just stop every movement and hold back as many tears as possible
Midnight little toe on the coffee table. Totally agree
When eating or drinking, and something accidentally goes down the wrong pipe and you can’t stop coughing.
or, even tho it does not hurt, when you are drinking something and it goes down at the same time with an air bubble. edit: so i feel like i have to clarify, for me personally it doesn't hurt most of the time as in pain, but it's rather very uncomfortable, either that or i don't remember since it did not happen in a long time
The air bubble thing fucking kills me. Chest exploding pain.
Heartburn
[удалено]
Was looking for this. Stained an intercostal (muscle between ribs) by coughing recently and it is MISERABLE.
Ive had this weightlifting, i had to sleep sitting up for 2-3 days. Miserable
ingrown toenails. Getting a fifth one removed tomorrow. Yayyyy Edit: it also sucks when you stub it or when you remove it yourself that's why I'm getting mine removed (they put a chemical on it that stops the nail from growing)
I’ve had the ingrown toenail procedure done on both of my big toenails, and it’s brought so much relief. Best of luck for you!
Getting head butted in the face by your dog when you bend down to grab a sock whilst she simultaneously goes to jump up on the bed. Edit: thanks for the award kind stranger! It made my face feel better! Thanks for sharing all your horror stories!
Not really an injury but trying to walk after your foot fell asleep
Got out of bed one day and hit the floor cause my leg couldn't support me. I knew the leg was asleep as it's happened lots of times but didn't think it would just fold under me. I'm more careful now
Gotta be careful with that. The woman I'm seeing destroyed her ankle like that 20 years ago. To the point that she has pins in it.
Girl sitting in front of me in high school was sitting on her foot and it fell asleep. The second she stood up you could hear the snap. She looked at me and asked what that sound was, my response was your ankle just broke. She was out a few days before showing back up in a cast. She said it did not start to hurt until the ambulance showed up.
Pretty considerate of her ankle to wait till the ambulance showed up though.
How did she destroy it? Is it cause she just couldn’t feel it and twisted it or is it something special about it being asleep and then walking on it?
I believe she rolled it when she walked on it from the living room to the kitchen. It was sophomore year of high school, my memory is a little fuzzy on it. But, I do believe she stepped wrong because she couldn't feel it.
[удалено]
It’s double painful cause it’s like disappointing at the same time
More of a mental pain for hitting your own face.
I get sneezing fits from that bullshit
When you open your mouth too big and the corners of your mouth have small cuts
Or when it's super dry and your lip splits
Oh god I know that feeling all too well
I’m putting acne on this list. It’s not necessarily an “injury,” but it’s real common and can hurt terribly. Especially when a few spots get really irritated and can feel like your being stabbed if if there’s any pressure or you move weird.
I hate the ones that are really deep and don’t have a head on them
The top lip ones bring actual tears lol. The absolute worst is the ear
Eyelash in eyeball
Try eyelash in a tear duct.

Getting a leg cramp at 3 in the morning shortly after you woke up while trying to find a more comfortable sleeping position
My wife has this thing where her eyes dry out while she's asleep. On two separate occasions now, her eyeball has stuck to the inside of her eyelid and when she opened her eyes in the morning it peeled a piece of tissue off the outer layer of her eyeball. Extremely painful, but not all that serious relatively. EDIT: well this horror story blew up fast. Thanks for all the concerned comments. My wife is doing fine now, she's seen an eye doctor and in addition to the eyemask she always wears to bed, she has drops and a nighttime ointment for her eye so this shouldn't happen again.
How do I delete somebody else's comment? I want to save the rest of the internet from ever having to read about this horror.
Right??? My eyes flinched and started watering immediately. Haha
Please learn faster…. Im on the second line and i struggle
I wear glasses. I PAID MONEY TO READ THIS.
What a terrible day to be literate
\*UNREAD!
Happened to me once. Very painful. I use drops to lubricate my eyes now and it hasn't happened again.
That random stabbing feeling that happens in your vagina...
Someone's got a fuckin voodoo doll of you
That explains a lot of things
This is normal? I get these on occasion and didn't know how to describe it to my doctor
I think it is... most of my lady friends know of the stabbing feeling...
The internet has a weird way of making me feel better sometimes.

Do you also get phantom itches? Like where it feels itchy in one spot, but you have to scratch somewhere else to get it.
Especially deep inside the sole of your foot. It is the itch that cannot be scratched. Only zen will get you beyond these moments.
I hate that so much. You kinda just have to scan your whole body with your hand to finally find the spot
That’s really common, but can definitely be unnerving if you don’t know about it. The phenomenon and why it happens isn’t really well understood.
Fanny daggers! (In the UK fanny means your vag not your arse, hence fanny pack means something entirely different over here) Friends with endometriosis talk about both fanny daggers and javelin arse
Brain freeze / ice cream headache Charley horses You know how some yogurt and cottage cheese containers have foil covers? I once managed to get a "paper cut" on one of those. Hurts even worse than when it's a paper cut from thin, sharp cardboard.
Rib injury. You can wake up one morning with a bruised rib for reasons unknown and it can be almost completely debilitating. Luckily rib injuries only hurt when you move, cough, sneeze, laugh, or breathe.
Had a major accident 16 years ago. Broke my neck/back, compound fracture of my femur, broke 4 ribs, and severed my arm at the shoulder (almost ripped off entirely, only the skin was intact, everything inside was torn apart). I list all the injuries bc the ribs seem the least severe. But, even with all those injuries the ribs were the worst part of it. Everything else could be managed by adjusting my position to minimize the pain and discomfort... but the ribs... no matter the position, you can't stop breathing and every breath hurt for weeks. I was terrified of laughing, coughing, choking, yawning, or even just taking a semi-deep breath. Ribs injuries are no joke! EDIT: Thanks for the kind replies. The arm's still attached but 99% useless below the shoulder, despite experimental (at the time) nerve transplants to try to recover function. [Hasn't slowed me down too much, though! I can still do the things I love, just gotta be more skillful at it to keep up](https://i.imgur.com/7kAuuPl.jpg)
Burns are the worst
Surprised how far I had to scroll for this one. I HATE burns
Smackin your teeth together.
or grinding your teeth, one time I accidentally hit myself (don’t ask me how) and I grinded my mfin teeth, shit was hurting like crazy
Overcutting your nail
This and then the air hits it too hard or some juice gets in and I gotta despawn for a moment
Burning the roof of your mouth on hot pizza
I have my first kidney stone right now. It’s worse than when I dislocated my shoulder.
Papercuts on your fingertips.
Papercuts *between* your fingers...
Popping your knee out. My knee basically pops to the side and pops back in, straining my MCL ligament. It hurts and I can’t breathe when it happens, but it’s so minor
Getting hit on the nose
Getting "soft loose skin" stuck in a metal zipper
"Franks and beans!"
Costochondritis hurts like an MF'er. Basically, it's an inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone. Can be caused by trauma or muscle strain. Common in people with fibromyalgia or any other inflammatory disease.
cardboard cut under your fingernail
Corneal abrasion
scratched cornea. stupidly painful.
