Ive had nails in my knee and a screw through my hand from skateboarding, surprisingly no pain from either. Broke my ankle and tore a tendon in it while skating too, that was bad but nowhere near something I go through every few months.
Anyone get migraines / cluster headaches?
No fun at all.
It begins when my field of view changes slightly, usually either flattening or getting taller, many times going unnoticed. Usually within a few minutes of this I'll get a small blind spot that grows into an impossibly complex ever changing multicolored fractal form that takes over one eye or the other, usually the right in my case. This part isn't so bad if I don't have to drive anywhere, but of course I know that soon I'll be forced into a dark-but-never-dark-enough, silent-but-never-silent-enough, immaculate-but-somehow-painfully-smelly room for the next day or so.
Hard to describe the pain, but imagine jagged shards of white-hot metal being thrust through your eye socket up through your skull with each heartbeat, gaining exponentially in intensity over the next 6-36 hours.
You think that with the severity of this type of pain and the commonality of this condition that doctors would be somewhat accommodating... no such luck. I am offered two choices, an ergot based chemical cousin to LSD or a magic mushroom based chemical cousin to psylocin. Neither do much, unless you count uncomfortable vasoconstriction and dizzying nausea (on top of the usual migraine nausea).
I suppose no doctor could care about 'just another headache' unless they have been subjected to a similar experience.
I don't care what pain you've been in,
I win. 
Like, was your eyeball actually dangling out of the socket or what?
