This is the worst thing that has happened to me personally in my lifetime as far as pain goes:
When I was a kid we had a big 30ft round pool, the ones with the metal edges around the top...well, we also had a deck that my dad made himself. So the deck didn't exactly line up perfectly with the pool because the deck was square, and the pool was round.
Well, there was a small space between the deck and the pool of about 3 or 4 inches. One day I was goofing around and running and jumping into the pool like always just playing around.
This time was different, though. I went and took a big run like I always did, but I must have slipped a little or something, because I didn't really take off like usual...my dad always told me not to jump in the pool. After I would tell him nothing would happen to me if I did he'd just say 99 times you're right, but that hundredth time something bad might happen.
Well, I went for the jump starting at the back of the deck. The deck was wet where I had already jumped in a few times that day -- see reference above about my dads warning
. Anyway, I went running, this one felt like it would be my biggest jump into the pool ever.
I got to the edge of the deck, and I really don't know exactly what happened next. I went to jump, but somehow I didn't jump like I thought, and my foot slid at the end of the deck and the heel of my foot wedged itself up under the deck. All of a sudden, BAM, the front part of my leg smashed over the metal part of the pool with my foot still wedged under the deck.
So there I am, with my head stuck under water, and a badly broken leg in three places, with my foot wedged between the deck and the pool. I'm in the most pain I've ever felt and fully expecting to down as well as my foot seemed wedged impossibly hard in that little crease.
After what seemed like an hour, my foot magically (or divinely) came free and I was able to slowly get out of the pool and sit on the deck until my mom could come out and get me. I literally sit on the deck and watched my left leg just swell up bigger by the second.
And what was even weirder to me is that my leg was stuck bent up like a triangle. I could NOT straighten it at all. When I got the X-Ray I had to though, and that hurt just as bad as when I broke it. The pain actually lasted pretty heavily for the next week, and any time I barely moved it would sting like crazy.
So that's my worst story really...
A couple other things that happened to me was I got dog bit and got stitches and I ran into a telephone pole somehow lol and got stitches for that, too.
