Drowning for me was like a weight being dropped on you, not heavy enough to knock the wind out of you, but enough to panic. After I breathed in, it was uncomfortable, but when I was saved, it didn’t hurt, it just felt like what accidentally swallowing too much water feels like.

Actually i woke 3/4th the way into my appendix surgery.
I was completely immovable.
i didn't even have the power to open my eyes no matter how hard i tried.
I could feel the sutures going through me as they were closing me up.
It was not really painful, just an odd feeling.

But one real discomfort was the pipe that was put through my mouth all the way to the stomach. My mouth felt really dried and swollen up because of that.
Rest all was fine. I didn't have any trauma and all. And now I am very well.


Another thing which I discovered was that doctors are not really too serious while operating.
They all were gossiping. Talking about going to see a movie in the evening, and all that stuff while operating.

I was in a car accident and smashed my hip. When the pain kicked in I was screaming until I blacked out, come to, scream, black out multiple times before I woke up 9 hours later in the recovery room. It was a pain level I never knew existed.

I'm a disabled vet and given birth 4 times naturally. The worst pain I have ever experienced was when my hamstring was severed in a fall. I literally had to wait until the kids went to school for me to put on socks because I'd involuntary scream.
I was misdiagnosed and walked around with the hamstring completely pulled off the pelvic bone for 9 months until I underwent extensive reconstructive surgery. Ended my career.

I live with chronic pain, and it honestly runs my life. I wish I could go back to my days were a headache were my only worries about having physical pain. I don't even know how good I had it.

The worse pain is mental trauma. It can mess you up for life and at times when you are having flashbacks it can really make you feel in danger and in pain all over again

“Pain might actually shrink the size of the brain” … “75 million of Americans have chronic pain”

I detoxed from opiates on my own. 5 days of unreal stomach cramps and pain. Still can’t believe I made it through. Best thing I ever did though.

The worst pain I've ever felt was a suicidal inducing toothache! Had a filling fall out and the nerve was exposed... The most intense, unrelenting, and extremely excruciating pain. I literally wanted to die.

My foster dad died of cancer. It spread to his spine and head… I think it was originally lung cancer. He felt zero pain the whole time. It was a lump (then too late to fix) that appeared that got him medical attention. It’s one thing we were all thankful for. He didn’t have pain. I miss him greatly

[kathrynsmith]

I was bitten by a shark (just a small one), and I always thought it was weird that it didn't hurt but now that I think about it, it was probably because my brain knew I wasn't in any real danger.

drowning for me felt like sheer panic. complete panic, and an infinite feeling of dread. and then in a blink of an eye i felt like i was drifting to sleep on a nice warm cloud.

My cousin had trigeminal neurologea. He had it for months. There were nights he couldn’t even sleep. He was becoming lethargic and just begin to give up on life. It took a random Doctor happening to know about that tested him for it. Once they figured it out they did surgery immediately

Knowing how many people live with chronic pain, and they won't help us with pain management anymore

When I dislocated my shoulder, I couldn't feel it immediately. All I felt was that I couldn't lift it and it felt numb. When the pain kicked in, boy I don't want that ever again.

I may temporarily feel physical pain, but my emotional pain will never go away.

I tore my MCL in a Highschool football game. i was in a squat position extended to my left to make a block as a blind side tackle and a blitzing LB sacked our QB and both landed on the outside of my right leg. Before I hit the ground, I heard a loud pop and when I went to stand up, i could not put any weight on my leg at all. Felt no pain for the next 2 hours. however my knee was swollen to the size of a basketball to the point my equipment had to be cut off. Was on crutches for 2 months before 4 months of physio.

The "phantom limb" pain, I think comes from the trauma to that body part. You have a body part all your life so your brain will take a long time to adjust to not having it anymore but also the nerve endings where the limb was amputated are what is probably wreaking havoc on the brain. The brain can't really compute such a travesty as an entire limb, through and through, is completely severed.

In fact, I think that not only does it explain "phantom pain" which isn't phantom at all but resl pain in the nerve endings that were severed; but also it might explain why when you break a bone a heals well enough and you can be 100% back to using it, but later having issues with the area in question. The break on the body wasn't as complete as when you lose all thr material in and around thr bone but as it is still complete, even though it's no longer broken, it brings pain.

Also, I do believe chronic pain people have smaller brains because over time, the brain is so hay-wire from all the short-circuiting the pain brings, it no longer uses all of itself and so it loses its volume, like any other muscle when you don't use it. Atrophy is what we call it. But brain atrophy is kind of a scary combination of words.
