Think of your most painful injury; which would you rather face again: the pain or the damage?

I'm having a painful day right now, my back/shoulder/neck has been hurting all day.

The damage. By far. Facing the pain again would probably drive me to suicide.

Some little kids pushed me down a wet slide, landed on my foot.
The pain was evil, but the damage was nothing.
idk if that was the worst, but thats what i remember

I'm not sure which is my worst injury (they're in the order that they happened in my life), but these were bad:

1. Damage: I fell over for a reason I wasn't sure of and three of my teeth "got wobbly". If it was my second set of teeth, then I would have picked pain. But it wasn't, and the only thing that had to happen afterward was that I had to go to a hospital and a person asked me to walk two steps towards him and then I could go.

2. Damage: While I was going inside, I said "I can probably go head first then, as in, if it is that big." (I thought it was smaller, because the person that told me said something completely different). It was only when I was at the top of the slide that I realized how big it was. Someone was there and he said "Come on!" and pulled me down. My chin collided with the end of the slide (he pulled me so foreword that it was just like a fall; there was no friction with the slide). The slide was around the size of a castle. Afterwords, I got up and told my mum what happened - I went to the "doctor's" and he or she said that there was absolutely no damage. Today I am still puzzled by the fact that I didn't die, on that seventh birthday of mine.

3. Damage: I fell over (I won't tell you how) and fell on a piano. There was no damage.



Oddly, I didn't cry on any of these experiences.

Damage in my case, as it hadn't really done anything to me.

Though I don't know if my case counts due to how it went. I was little and playing football with other kids and then I fell, landing with my right knee on the road curb and sliding across. Since I was wearing shorts, well... the scratches were big and it all hurt quite strongly, but the damage was minimal.

It'd be fine if I'd just go back home to my mom so that she could disinfect the wound... but instead I went home to their mom. Who used some sort of a liniment to disinfect it.

The liniment contained propolis.

Turned out I had an allergy. A mild one, but still...

It did disinfect the wound, alright, I'm grateful for that. It didn't cause any kind of dangerous damage, and I'm grateful for that as well. But oh my god, did it hurt. It was a fairly surreal experience, actually: it burnt like hellfire yet at the same time felt incredibly cold. Individually both would've been tolerable, but together... man did I cry and scream and whatnot.

So yeah, the damage was minimal, so... yeah.

I once broke my leg, and it was hurting even when i was in bed.
That's why i choose pain.


If you want to know how i broke it, read 'I'ed stuff.


Okay, so i was returning home from school, on the bycycle/or how you say that (NOT A BABY BYCYCLE, NORMAL ONE).
So, i accidentaly put my foot in the bicycle wheel, and with my other foot, i stopped riding and just was standing, i said to my dad something like my foot broke, he didn't believe me at first, but when we got to hospital, they said it WAS broken. I had this for a month or two.

Well, my injury is the case when I tried to tie both my legs with a rope and hop. I went 400m forward jumping constantly. While coming back, I stomped my left toes with my right foot so hard accidentally that I wasn't able to move a single left toe for 5 days. That pained the most. I spent the rest of the day i got hurt, walking with only one leg and simply skating like walk with my left leg.

I havent realy had anything happen to me, but it would be damage.
