pain after gunshot wound

[pharmseller]

Sounds awful. Do you have joint pain also? Statins cause me severe joint pain that cannot be mitigated by Vitamin D, Glucosamine and Chondroitin. I've spoken with others who have had similar experiences. I'm not suggesting you stop taking it, just providing some data that might be helpful at some point.

Talk to your doc about inclisiran, evolocumab, or alirocumab.

You put your hand in front of the barrel when you're clearing it?

Are you sure this isn't a remake of , "The Quiet Man", with John Wayne?

LOL, same here. 9mm through the hand. I just looked at it and said to my BIL, 'I just shot my hand'. He said you better sit down and raise your arm above your head. I said no way, we need to pick this stuff up. I wrapped it in a towel, picked up my stuff, put the table away and went in the house for dinner. Unfortunately it was a family gathering at my place so everyone wanted to look at it except the squeamish, I didn't mind. When dinner was over I was sitting in the living room w/my oldest son. I hate hospitals but he said he'd take me to the ER if I wanted to go. Went and got it cleaned out. I no longer have a knuckle on my left pinky. The bullet hit squarely in the knuckle and destroyed it, went in just below my ring finger and came out through my pinky knuckle.

Pains pretty relative. Last Sept. I went over a cliff on my dirt bike, broke 4 vertabrae, 8 ribs, punctured a lung and my liver and crushed my pelvis (over a dozen listed fractures and lots of pieces). Couldn't do much but wait for Lifeflight, my core felt like hamburger, I could feel all the bones moving around (2nd time I've experienced that, 2nd pelvis/hip fractures). I started riding again Feb 1st, still in a lot of pain but I've got things to do so can't sit around. I'll take a Tylenol if my back is flaring up, that's it. I've broken over 50 bones, been in ICU a couple times. Have lots of plates, screws and a long rod through a femur. I get a chuckle out of folks who pitch a fit when they stub a toe. I've seen videos of people shooting themselves and acting like they're dying, cracks me up. I find when I'm in excruciating pain (11 out of 10) and can't move or do anything I just 'go away'. I tell people I'm trying to find my happy place. Freaks the EMT's out 'cause I really slow everything down and just let things happen, I've had them yell at me thinking I was passing out. I smile and say thanks.

I turned 59 5 days after my last 'get off', takes longer to recover and things are never the same but they're good enough.

Not sure I'd want to ride in a car with him...

Damn, I can't ride dirt bikes with @Mistman, and I can't do sleepovers with @sobo. Y'all are taking the fun out of things!

Yup, the pilot...

I never said you couldn't do sleepovers with me. You're only limiting yourself when you impose those kinds of restrictions on your fun...

Legend has it Jewish mothers have the most pain.

It's not your fault though - she knows you did your best.

Haha, I'm good in cars, mostly. At least I've never been hurt in one. I did roll my S2000 before I put a turbo in it, good excuse to get lots of carbon fiber

Post roll.

One of my nephews wrecked the same car three times in two years. His dad is a mechanic, so maybe he got cheap labor.

I have not seen this story here so I will repeat it. My oldest son is an E.R. doctor and told me about a fellow that had been brought in for treatment of a compound fracture. My son and the E.R. nurses were preparing him for a surgical reduction procedure and were about to give him some pain medicine. He stopped them and told them that he didn't need it. The nurses explained the procedure and that because it was so painful he would need pain killing medicine. Again, he declined and said that he had only felt pain twice in his entire lifetime. It seems that he had spent many years working a trapline in Alaska. One day when he was out checking the traps, he felt the urge to empty his bowels and squatted down to poop. He unknowingly had squatted over an old bear trap. As his scrotum touched the trigger plate the trap slammed shut with enormous force. That was his first experience with pain. When asked about the second experience with pain, he reported that that had happened when he got t the end of the chain.

my son and I were discussing this tonight after watching a TV show where a person was shot in an extremity and fell to the ground incapacitated
2 years ago, I took an accidental discharge to my left hand - a 9mm went through my hand and separated 2 fingers off my hand
I pressed my hand against my side and walked back up to the house - felt no pain - only amazement that my hand was bleeding
as a former combat medic from '69, I advised my son how to care for my hand and we waited 30 min for the ambulance to show up
I sat in a chair on our gravel road for 30 min with my son, had intelligent conversations, made jokes and still experienced no pain
but my wife was uncontrollable and in panic - blood all over the kitchen
pain did kick in about 45 min later
I had seen this in the Military and asked the trauma surgeon about this at Emanuel Hosp
She said my body experienced nerve pain overload and shut down the nerves, allowing the body to still function
I was able to function for 45 min without pain
but she said every person is different with pain tolerance

so - in a self defense situation - how can you expect an opponent to respond after being shot?

A few years back I was hiking, I slipped and fell. As I was falling I hear a loud snapped! As I layed on the ground I wondered what that noise was. When I tried to get up my left leg would not hold my weight. Fortunately a couple of hikers came by, took my pack and I hobbled back to my car, about a mile.
I drove to the ER, initially the nurses thought I had a bad ankle sprain. X-rays revealed I fractured my leg right above my ankle. I didn't feel pain until they took off my boot, they ended up cutting the boot laces.
