Broke six ribs

did this also, but only three. i would agree that broken ribs are by far the worst for aggravation. everytime you sneeze, cough, strain, move in general you feel the pain

I ripped my nose off on the coffee table.

Broke both my arms when I crashed my bicycle at ten years old.
Crushed my left hand offshore and had to endure initial emergency surgery and some reconstruction surgeries. Hand looks like hell but I can use it due to 18 months of physical therapy.

Broken ribs.. couldn't do anything for weeks

Broke a ton of bones in my wrist/hand in a pole vaulting wreck. One was the scaphoid bone which takes 6 months to heal. Had a cast to my shoulder for 4 months

When I was 17, my dad sent me out with a hammer and nails to fix the big wooden box we put the trash in to keep the dogs out of it. One of the walls was coming loose. So I put a nail up there and started to hammer it in. Hammer takes a weird glance off the nail, and the nail comes flying back and penetrates my right eyeball. I reflexively slung my head so it didn't stick in there. Oddly enough, there was very little pain. But everything was green out of that eye.

I go in and find my mom, the nurse, napping on the couch. I wake her up and say, "will you look at my eye, I think I hurt it." She says "Eye stuff grosses me out, wait until your dad (paramedic) gets home.
About 30 minutes later dad shows up. I tell him the story. He spreads my lids and says "Look up...look down...look right....look left...holy shite. You're going to the hospital right now. There's a hole in your sclera and you're leaking humour. So he covers both my eyes with 4x4's and drives me 30 minutes to the hospital. Detached retina. They transferred me to Little Rock for eye surgery. I have terrible vision, and oddly enough, my vision actually improved a little in that eye after it was all said and done.
The most painful part of the whole ordeal was the follow up appointments. Every week I had to go to a specialist who looked into my eyeball with a mirror and a light that seemed to me to be about as luminous as the fricking sun.

Broken neck in a car wreck a few years ago. Had to get life flighted, will always wear a seatbelt now.

Car wreck. Epidural hematoma (bleeding on the outside lining of the brain). It required surgery and 3 weeks in the hospital.

My wife Lorena cut off my penis and I had to get it sewn back on.....Worse part is I had six inches and now I'm down to four.

I found out I can't tolerate morphine very quickly that first night when I hit the pump button the first time, and puked my guts out.

When I was in the hospital I told the nurse that when I use this morphine pump I can't feel my penis.....She said it's ok she couldn't feel it neither.
