When I broke my clavicle, my shoulder was also dislocated. My shoulder looked like it was barely hanging on my body. When I went to the hospital, the doctor put a brace under my arms and around my back, and got behind me on his knees and said, "This is going to be uncomfortable." For me, that was the understatement of a lifetime. He put his knee in the middle of my back and pulled the braces as tight as he could get them. My shoulder made a really nasty grinding sound, and my shoulder "popped" into place. He then secured the brace behind my back, and I was like that for weeks.
I tried to stand up after he did it, and was sweating like a pig and couldn't really see straight. I blacked out for a few seconds and "woke up" with my aunt holding me up.
I was 14 if that gives any reference, but I still didn't cry

i haven't had any major medical procedure, but about a month and a half ago, i begun to have trouble sitting down. it just hurt. eventually, i had to take a pain reliever to be able to walk. i went to the doctor and he inspected the source of the pain (it was in a most uncomfortable area: between my butt cheeks!) he discovered that i had an abscess there caused by a hair follicle that grew the wrong way.
any way, in the case of an abscess, it has to be surgically drained. i was sent to ER. i had to constantly take pills of Advil (Ibuprofen) so i could even walk. they surgically drained it at the hospital. they did supposedly inject me with a numbing agent to relive any pain i might have, but the procedure was done before it could affect me. needless to say, it hurt. a lot.
this thing can happen to anyone anywhere. hope it never happens to you guys. i was then told to (under doctors orders and no, i am not making this up,) keep my butt shaved for at least 2 month! that's not a ritual i like to do!
Woot for the Pilonidal cyst
Cheers,

Skin grafts are nothing compared to the rest of the burn treatment. Copied and pasted from the worst pain ever thread.
3rd degree burns over 1/3rd of my body caused by 700 degree roofing asphalt when I was 16 years old and working a summer job. Basically, I was hauling some material backwards and the crane driver, who was acting foreman while our normal foreman was on vacation, pushed a mop cart directly behind me without warning me. I hit the back of my knees on the cart and fell backwards into the hot asphalt. My right hand instinctively went back to brace my fall and actually sat in the asphalt for a good 60 seconds. I was leaning back to far to stand straight up so I rolled over to get out of it and the whole thing basically dumped on my back and arms.
Asphalt isn?t like cooking grease. Grease gets on your skin at 500 degrees and a minute later its at room temp. Asphalt on the other hand just keeps on cooking so the crew threw two water coolers full of ice water on me to shock the asphalt. That saved my hand but presented a new problem. When I got into the burn clinic the asphalt was basically fused to my skin and they only had one way to get it off, by peeling it off (along with the skin it was fused too). Think being flayed alive. They couldn?t put me to sleep because I was in shock and they couldn?t give me massive doses of morphine for the same reason. So, for 4 hours they peeled my skin off while I screamed like a bitch in more pain then I thought the human body could endure before shutting down. It was so bad that, even though I didn?t want to die I wouldn?t have thought twice about shooting myself at the time simply to make the pain stop.
Unfortunately the story doesn?t stop there. The treatment for burns like that is almost as bad as the injury itself. Every morning they woke me up and brought me to a room with a stainless steel chair that sat on a pedestal with all kinds of hoses coming out of it. There I went through my daily debreedment (sp?). That is where they basically take a steel brillo pad and scrub the hell out of your fresh burn wounds. The point is to remove all the dead skin to avoid infection and to allow new skin to grow. The mental and physical pain is unexplainable. I tried to stay awake at night as late as possible because I knew as soon as I went to sleep I would awake to that god forsaken room. I begged and pleaded with the nurses to not bring me to that room everyday but every god damned day they would wake me up and take me in there.
The two skin graft surgeries that I got while in the hospital where a cakewalk compared to the rest.

Penis shrinking surgery. The girls in my harem told me I was just too big, so I had it shrunk for 20 inches to 12. It's still the girth of a soda can. Also, I drive a Ferrari and make an 8 figure salary.

Breaking my collarbone was also insanely painful. This isn't exactly a medical procedure, but it still counts. Twas close to the end of the year, 10th grade. We're all playing flag football instead of taking world religions, including the teacher, and I get trucked real bad by my own teammate. I don't know if I broke it when he hit me or when I hit the floor, but as I was helped up I felt kinda off, then someone touched my shoulder and I started screaming.
My teacher thought it was a DISLOCATED SHOULDER and tried to "pop it back into place." When your collarbone is broken your range of motion doesn't exceed that of fapping, or maybe typing. Imagine having your entire arm lifted nearly on top of your head. After cussing him out, and then laying down on a bench due to the pain, my gym teacher came over and recognized it from when it happened to his son. This all happened at 12~1 PM. I didn't go to the ER until 6. They were all amazed that I had gone all day without any painkillers.
