Title: Did most of you cry during LL?
Post by: Unknown on February 20, 2021, 03:39:49 PM

Is it painful to the point where it makes most men cry? Is it comparable or more painful to this guy's injury?

Well as far as i can comphrehend the pain from the surgery will definitely be like or at least near what that guy gary experienced but i think the LL pain and damaged can be more managed cause u will be under anaesthesia and the fracture or damage will be done in a controlled manner unlike a natural hideous fracture disclocation case as this that too in a key joint of the body(Ankle)....a few months back i had a boxer fracture which basically means i broke my pinkie finger due to boxing in a closed hard wodden door and tbh i didn't even know that my finger bone (metacarpel) actually broke till i got an x ray done and as soon as it happened i just remember tht my hand went completely numb especially the pinkie but there was no pain whtsoever and i couldn't move my finger even a bit..so u see pain is individual but i definitely know i am comparing a mountain with a pile of sand probably but still afterall it was a broken bone....by the i got all fked up coz i didn't cared for my finger post fracture and dislocation and kept the stint only for a week😥 eventhough the doctor prescribed it for like a month at least..and the result is that now i have a malunioned pinkie which kinda looks a bit weird and the difficult part is that it hurts sometimes(probably soft tissue problem) eventhough it's like 7 months past😥....so guys a future advice from a broken bone veteran😅never neglect a broken bone however small the break maybe it needs to be aligned correctly and u shld treat or stop malunion at any cost.

I had almost no pain after surgery. It was 1-2/10 most of the time, with occasional 4-5/10 at most, which was easily solvable with Norco. The only severe pain I had was nerve pain, and there was only one day where I almost cried.

No.  One guy yelled and pounded on his wall and cried, though.  He quit after less than 2 cm.

Never cried. The emotional pain and disappointment that caused me to get the surgery in the first place was 1,000 times worse than the actual operation.

Never taken a single painkiller by choice. Physical pain is the last problem, I didn't use to care about it.
Real problems are the social impact and to deal with the disability.

Teared up a little. Not because of the physical pain but the realisation you have become disabled, even if it is for a short period of time.

I was very deppressed the first week, not from the pain but from being almost completely disabled.
After I got used to that condition I was very calm and happy that I would finally would make my dream come true.
Pain was almost zero after the first days also.
So only emotionally I had problems from the first week after my surgery, then I was completely fine.
