As an adult have you ever cried because of physical pain?

[FurryFury]

They don't use nitrous oxide--laughing gas--much anymore, but I'm old enough to remember having it at the dentist. The weird thing about nitrous is that things still hurt, but you don't much care. You don't dwell on it, so the pain is not that hard to take.

WIthout gas, when the dentist's working on you, you imagine him scaping against live nerve tissue and digging these huge holes in your teeth and ripping into your gums, but nitrous stops you from imagining that, and you realize that a large part of pain is really due to imagination, fear and dread. Without the mental components, it's not nearly as bad.

I'd still stay away from kidney stones though. Or being catheterized by a student nurse when you have a bladder infection. Christ! And they enjoyed it too.

Oh yeah! I've has some fine dental times on laughing gas. The pain is still there you just don't care that much because the nose hair of the dental assistant has you mesmerized sort of like Rapunzel's hair or you happen to be writing a full length motion picture script in your head.

I also agree about staying away from kidney stones because OUCH!!!

I don't cry from pain often unless it is during a scene, then I cry.

I don't remember the last time I cried from medical or unexpected pain.

Top of my breast was had a chunk bitten out of it a few years ago, but I was too busy too cry. It fucking hurt though lol

Emotional stuff makes me cry far too much, far too often

What??? Please explain the above highlighted statement a bit more?

I'm with you Fury ... I'm dying to hear the explanation of that!!!!

I clicked the wrong circle

So yes, I have cried in pain, but my motor skills are sorely lacking and I pressed vote before I noticed I wasn't on target

 

[saw_man1]

Not yet

No I haven’t, but that’s probably because I haven’t had anything more serious than a broken bone or two rather than my own intestinal fortitude.

You and Sprinkles make me laugh.

It was not interesting.

I was working in a home for people who had extreme behaviour. This man was trying to bite my cheek off. It was his known speciality. I was on one side and a care assistant was on the other. We had his arms & legs controlled but needed another pair of hands to stop him trying to bite.
As his went to get my face I jerked back and he fell into my boobs biting into them. I had a shirt and T-shirt on so the damage was not immediately visable

Because of all the turmoil it caused I had to calm him down, calm staff down, fill in paperwork etc. It hurt so much I did not dare look at it for several hours by which time the healing process included attaching my T-shirt to the bite

I discovered through being bitten that my chest area cannot recognise healing (keloid scarring). I needed two years of steroid injections directly into the scar tissue to break it down.
It seems to have finally settled but if it hadn't the only other option would have been radiation.

It happened in 2001 and it extreme hot/cold weather it itches like mad.

Holy Crap!!!! And I thought being felt up by dirty old men while taking BP's was bad

Does remind me of nursing my infant, tho ... breast feeding didn't work well for us because he never latched on correctly, and proceeded to tear my nipple away from my areola with his greedy little sucking. I would hold him and cry as he nursed. It was terrible. I nursed for 4 weeks then gave it up, the pain was excrutiating, and I think he was ingesting more blood than milk.

For all those moms that do successfully breast feed .. my hat is off to you, you're better moms than I am!

 

[Daddyslilpet]

Yes I have many times. I have RA among other things and fight migraines. Have a super high pain tollerance but am still human after all.

I have only recently cried from pain and it was really more like weeping. I had abdominal surgery last week and the night after the surgery I forgot I was to be giving myself the pain meds throught the little button. I just got behind the pain and could not get on top of it. Eventually I started walking and was able to control it.

Remember the scar tissue in my left elbow? That used to itch like that, but you'll be pleased to know that it will ease off after 15-20 years! And.....you've never been in extreme cold weather.....dear!

I have been in cold weather according to me!!!

Ok even my father laughed when I said I had been in cold winters.
His response was 'wait until you move to Denmark, then you will know cold weather'

I hate the cold
*sigh*

Unfortunately, it is a needed thing for me. I am a real life alpha female, and I am constantly in control of my thoughts and emotions ... I bottle bad emotions and push past them, but I never 'deal' with them. Therefore, they stay stuck deep in my heart, causing grief, pain and resentment. I, on occassion, need the cleansing of the bad things.

That is where my trust in my Master becomes key. The burden of unlocking me falls to him, but it's such a fine line between 'helping' me and 'hurting' me, and he has to recognize my self destructive ways before I crash and burn. The scene hasn't happend yet .. but it will, and it is going to happen ... soon. And I know I will be a better woman, friend, lover and submissive for it

I think we are similar in this respect. We both have a tight control over our emotions. My point to wrest this control from me she has to bring me to a high level of pain and only then does my control crumble. The problem is that when she stops after I crack I just get maybe 30 seconds more and then the control is back.

This is a funny thing.

I didn't cry during natural childbirth (twice) and through two nasty bouts of kidney stones and through gall stones (what can I say, I'm a 'stoner' : ) And I don't cry when he spanks me... although once I came pretty darn close, they were in my eyes but got sucked back down.

BUT - when I broke my little toe... OUCH! A few tears fell - plus it made my foot look ugly and I HATE that. That's probably the real reason I cried ; )

I have an extremely high tollerance for pain not ugliness. tee hee...

I don't know how long the cathartic effect will last. I'll have to cross that bridge when I reach it.
