Super Mario has Super toenails removed

[MadtownPacker]

Great pain stories everyone. Nice to hear about you guys getting hurt.

BTW - Super Mario is acting more like the princess. Hawk would have ripped the nail off and put his shoe back on!

too much info

if you guys want something really fun and gross. i had my drill slip today while trying to drive a screw, and had the phillips head bit drive right into my thumb and went right down to the bone, spinning like crazy the whole time. then i passed out a bit. now my thumb has a big black hole filled with loose mangled skin and meat and whatnot

Oh man Red, that is a painful thing to do.

I have done the exact same thing, I was driving an oversized screw and the thing wobbled and I drilled my thumbnail right through to the meat.

It hurt like hell, but I cracked open another beer and finished the deck.

As it healed, it was pretty gnarly, there was a hole in my nail which periodically oozed some pus and gunk, then when the nail grew out enough, there was a big chunk out of my nail top, leaving my thumb tip exposed and when pressured it was uncomfortable as hell.

Enjoy the healing process!!

well luckily i didn't go through the nail, but other then that it sounds like you did the exact same thing

i also cracked a beer, after i came too, but unlike you i said f'ck this, i'm done with this project for today lol

that sting ray story is nasty, i've never been stung by a giant sting ray, but i have gotten stung by a little tiny jelly fish and thought my whole leg was going to burn off. those sea creatures are vicious little bastards

TLC has this show on last night called "101 More Things Removed From the Human Body"

Now, I don't get grossed out too easily, but whenever it comes to bugs, I can't stand to watch. I think it started back when i watched "Creepshow" when I was about 10 years old and saw the guy overtaken by cock roaches. guess that's what I get for watching an R movie behind my parents back....

anyhow, last night they removed a cock roach from inside someone, they removed a slug from someone's head...I had to change the channel after that, but found myself clicking back on it a few minutes later to see what the next clip was. The stuff about a piece of 4 x 6 with nails in it being lodged into a guys chest sticking out the other or the guy with a knife stuck into his forehead didn't gross me out...but those damn bugs...eeeek.

Then I suppose they won't be doing maggot therapy on you if you get an infection?

[GBRulz]

heck, no! They might as well just start digging my grave before I did that!

reminds me of this one documentary of a lone plane crash survivor in the Amazon. She was there for months, survived off eating various things in the jungle. She also was bitten by some kind of bug that laid it's eggs in her skin and she had these huge ass bumps all over her full of maggots or eggs or larvae or something disgusting like that...

I had a piece of metal taken out of my eys last week. It's the second time for me but, its one creepy feeling watching that needle comming at your eye. And the Dr. saying hold still. Yeah right!

did you get the drill treatment too, or did they get it before the rust set in?

It was hard to "keep still" while the lasers are dancing while getting Lasik eye surgery also. The wierdest part was when they flipped the cornea back.

Not to gross anyone out but during my last football season, I developed an ingrown toenail. After every practice, my sock would be full of puss and blood. I played with that the whole season and once the season was over, I went to the Pediatrist and he removed the nail that had grown halfway through my big toe. Ouch and GROSS! To be honest, I don't recall it hurting real bad although my threshold for injury type pain is real high but for hangover, flu type pain, real LOW!!!

I'm the same way. Do you have any tattoos? I found that type of pain more manageable than the flu or hangover

[Guiness]

Damn - you guys have some ugly stories! I don't know if Mazz's counts tho'. It was second hand! Do you have any personal ones you want to share?

I've got my own foot one - I had some buildup in my big toe joint, so the doc went in there and scrapped out what I didn't need. Damn, I had no idea the pain I was going to be in for. The nausea and severe pain went on for about 5 days.

When I came to after the surgery, I felt fine of course (anestetic) but should've clued in when they gave me a half dozen percocet to get me through 'till morning when the pharmacy opened.

Best part was that I felt ok, and fell asleep. Woke up about 2am, in excrutiating pain, and the percs were like 20' away, across the room. I tried, but honestly, there was no way I could get to them w/o passing out from pain. I started yelling for someone to come, but no one would wake up. I finally realized that my cell was on the coffee table, and just started calling the house line again and again until someone picked up!

I know for sure if I were a POW, and they started pulling out my fingernails, I would tell 'um EVERYTHING. Well, I would make stuff up.

OMG.......gross stories??? Wait 'til next offseason......I'll start the "Iron Mike's Tales From The Medical Examiner's Office" thread.....

I have three painful stories....

(1) When I was about 6 I was riding my bike down a gravel trail in Klodey Park, in Whitefish Bay, and there was a huge rock in the road, but I didn't see it, so my bike crashed into the rock, put me flying in the air, and my forehead crashed right against another huge rock right behind it. I was bleeding like hell, and the rock that I was landing against looked like it had been painted red. Eventually, I was taken to the ER and received 45 stiches in my forehead.

(2) I was making coffee for my parents in the morning and while I was making the coffee I was watching Sportscenter. So after 5 minutes I went to check on the coffee and the filter had leaked or something, and this coffee was leaking out everywhere, so I tried to move the machine, but it tipped and I spilt about a gallon of 275 degree coffe all over me left arm, suffering 2nd degree burns. I had to be in a cast for about 3 weeks.

(3) I was playing football in my community backyard with a group of about ten kids. We were playing when there was a fumle and the ball dropped to the ground. Well, I was the first there and pounced on the ball. The bad thing was eveyone else went for the ball and I was cought on the bottom of the dogpile. Suddenly I felt these things crawling up my legs and then a sharp pain. Automaticaly I knew it was fire ants. For those Northeners who don't know what a fire ant is, it's these vicious SOB who make their nests in lawns, and if you piss them off the whole herd attacks you. So I have all these kids on top of me and I'm yelling for them to get off, but they don't listen. Eventually they got off, but by this time by knee is just a sea of red and I'm getting bit like hell, they're all over my shorts too. So I have no choice but to take off my shorts and run half a mile home in my boxers. As I was running these people in their cars are looking at me and are like "WTF?" Once I get home my Mom puts all this cream on it, I went to the docters the next day and we count that I suffered 220 bites on my left leg. About 150 more could of killed me.

And the sad thing about this is I've suffered all of this in just 13 years. Who knows what type of pain awaits me later in life?
