Boy oh boy I can identify with the needle in the heel thing. I ripped open the back of my ankle (got it caught in a steel door closing...freak accident) and the sharp edge of it slammed into my achilles tendon. At the ER they just stitched it up. The injection into the heel for the stitches just about put me through the roof, then when they stitched it, and I tried to walk on it, my tendon gave a massive 'POP' (it was hanging by a thread) and from then on it was just welcome to Pain City.
Then of course, child birth. Imagine the worst cramp you have ever had, squeezing the breath out of you from your chin to your knee caps for 24 hours. Multiply it by 1000, all while shi*tting a bowling ball (while someone else is punching you repeatedly in the tits) and you are half way to understanding the pain of childbirth.
As if that is not enough, I also have an 'atomical nerve variation' in my lower jaw, which means I don't numb up at the dentist - I only found this out half way through a root canal. That was not fun.
Last but not least, I tried to cut my own fringe looking in the mirror and managed to stab myself in the eye with the scissors. Absolute agony...as was the 'bandage' contact lens I had to wear for three days to 'protect' the 2mm cut on my cornea. Ha! All THAT did was dry up and stick to my eyeball, and getting THAT peeled off by the opthamologist was almost as bad as childbirth...if marginally faster.
