For one time pain it would be when I had my son. The epidural wore off on one side of my body right after they starting cutting me for the cesarean. I felt everything on the right side. It was too late for them to give me another one because my son was in stress, so they would give me puffs of gas (I didn't want to take too much because I wanted to see him born - dumb move...). I also felt them stapling me back up. He's my only child - wonder why, lol!

Oh, and there was the time I had the 2nd operation on my leg - they had removed some screws, put in a rod, broke the smaller bone (to heal faster) and did a bone graft from my hip. The put a drain on my hip incision, but not the other 3. The incision where they took the screws out and did the bone graft developed a HUGE hemetoma (sp) - black jelly like blood was leaking out of the incision - and they had to puncture it and push the blood out while pushing on the incision and the broken bone. That wasn't much fun either.

So - anyone reading this while they're eating?
Since the wife posted I'll add mine. I played baseball for over 20 years and played catcher a lot. It shot me knees. A couple years ago I was sitting in the lazyboy watching a baseball game and when it was over my knee was just locked. I had to get an injection into my knee with a huge needle. I knew it was going to be bad when they strapped my leg down to the table. I've been injured before but nothing ever hurt as bad as taking that needle in the knee. Getting a huge needle jammed into the center of your knee isn't a lot of fun.
