The Pain

[fulano]

I advice you, I'm heavily drugged as I'm writing this...

I'm not talking about emotional, existential pain. I'm talking about threshold pushing nut-busting physical disconfort.

Today, I went to my scheduled dentist meeting to take out one my wisdom teeth that had been causing problems, and instead of walking out with one less wisdom tooth I did it with TWO less wisdom teeth. Everything semed to be fine, but after a while--i.e. the anesthetic wore off--I felt the fucking pain, only matched by that time as a kid when I had surgery on my back while awake and under local anesthetic.

Before the beautiful precribed painkillers kicked in, I found myself fucking angry at nothing really in particular. I felt so angry that I just ended angry at being angry; even my stomach got angry and started hurting.

The other day I saw a squirrel going about it's bussiness and I thought it was pretty cool, but today, when I remembered the squirrel I got so pissed I hoped the damn thing gagged to death with a fucking nut.

Being the civil person that I am means I'm not prone to throwing fits but, darn, suddenly I was pacing and fuming around my house pissed at everything and replaying the procedure of gettin' the damn things out, in my head, over and over again--it wasn't particularly painful given the fact that the dentist lady is actually pretty good and keeps up to date with the newer procedures--but right then, I felt like that fucking asshole woman was the sole cause of my (and my tummy's) discomfort and deserved to be beaten into submission with a taxidermied[sic] stuffed puma. I even did the clichéd thing and used ice on my face's right side but alas, it was not to be, the pain stuck there, mocking me and my mandibles as they kept fucking throbbing for a few hours. I even got angry at my mum regarding some fucking ice-cream I could have easily fetched for myself.

Now, after the drugs(which I have to take every now and then), I'm not that angry anymore, though my tummy still is--a little, and can sort of feel myself going back to good ol' me. But for a moment, I felt like an angry motherfucking animal. I'm kinda glad now that someone, somewhere created painkillers.

Thank the drug gods.
Now I know why Dr. House is such an asshole.

Anyone else has had an experience like that?

Well, last saturday, I had a cracked tooth pulled(or at least half of it) and even with the painkillers the gumline hurt like hell. But not too much frustration.

You're kind of my god now...then again, it may be the drugs talking.

Does crippling emotional pain count?

I fell down the stairs once, landed on a cactus.

Not even kidding.

Ever woke up in a Truamahawk?
Yep, broke both wrist cause all the little fragments to fuck with the pain nerves. 7 fingers broken and the back of my head busted.
Remember kids, jaywalking is VERY dangerous and when a minivan is coming down at you going 40mph your puny little hands are sadly not going to stop it.
No.
Effing.
Anesthetic.
Till we landed and got me in the surgery room.
I'm estimating 50-70 minutes in holyfuckgodwhatdidIdotodeservethis? pain.
Go Vakatan!

Sorry but no, unless that crippling emotional pain is a byproduct of actual physical pain (like busting a nut).

Dammit. I thought you were talking about the bee guy from MGS. He was awesome.

what if it's caused by physical pain?

I'm pretty sure that bee guy would have some gnarly stories to contribute to this thread, though.

Ever woke up in a Truamahawk?

I allegedly went bonkers once and had to be subdued after my third back surgery was done, and I allegedly punched a nurse. I thought it was weird because I was actually under anesthesia so I can't recall anything, go figure.

EDIT:

what if it's caused by physical pain?

Okay, now I'm curious.

Being caused by physical pain and being a byproduct of physical pain are essentially the same thing.

Precisely why I'm curious. He/she seems to want to be really sure, somehow, if he/she should say something, hence the repetition.

Or maybe I'm reading too much into it and need my happy drugs since my gums are starting to ache now.

byproduct of and caused by aren't the same thing, certain emotional pain or disorders can be caused soley beause of a physical pain where as a byproduct would mean that it's more a side effect. also you can't tell if i'm a boy or girl? my name is Michael

Ehm, a byproduct is caused by something, it's not neccesarily a sideffect.

As for your name, I dunno, maybe it has byblical connotations and you dig 'em, so there's no way I could really know your sex--though if you take into account the fact that there are no girls on the internets...

(obviously now avoiding the real issue at hand)could always check my profile for the sex
EDIT: also I didn't say it is a side effect, I said it's MORE of a side effect. (vague wording ftw)

byproduct - a product made during the manufacture of something else

Yes, it can be a side effect, but it is being caused by something else. That makes it basically a synonym.

 

[Captain Wes]

avoiding the topic now as I feel like an idiot (ok so i didn't really read the whole post, I'm too lazy and sleep deprived to make a real argument)

Because of course no ever puts anything but real information on the internet.

Joking aside (you seem to take this kind of seriously), if you want to write something, you can. If you don't feel like it for some reason good for you, then. Just have a little fun.
