Most pain you've been in

[Xhavenjoe]

Caught my "lad" in the zip on my jeans this morning.
Didn't know which way to pull the zip.
I was almost as indecisive as Raheem but eventually pulled zip back down.

Jesus.

I wish you all the best mate.

Fractured 2 vertebrae falling off the deck carrying bananna boxes and gout at the same time. Jesus I'm getting old

Are you taking anything for the gout mate? I suffered from it (fucking nightmare, pain was awful and debilitating) got prescribed allopurinol and now pain free.
I was advised that it's a lifetime gig, but I'm not convinced. I can have a week off the pills and if the problem comes back I just start taking them again.
It took me a while to convince my gp, I had to limp in before he prescribed.
Pm me if you want some, I know what the pain is like

On the upside you didn't have to go to Liverpool.

Hope all went well

Sorry, that should have said Liverpool game, managed to get to the Villa game so, not all bad I suppose

I had a procedure for an enlarged prostate to enable me to pee more easily.
Sent home a few hours later and a blood clot resulted.
My Mrs kept phoning the hospital and they just kept telling me to drink more and more but I was unable to pee so it just made matters worse.
You try surviving 24 hours desperate for a pee when you have a full bladder.
Then left 6 hours in A & E whilst they decided who was going to treat me.
I genuinely thought I was going to die
Thanks very much Leighton Hospital.

Chopped off the end of my thumb about 35 years ago, got it stitched up and when it came to taking the stitches out that’s the most pain iv ever experienced, I had to bite on something and they put my hand in a vice.

currently wired up in hospital, having been diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism. That's the second time since November. In November it nearly killed me, without much pain. This time it was a suspected kidney or gallbladder stone for two nights that was agony. Proved to be much worse, and sadly missing the NHS so much. Aimed to be back in Manchester, in July. Now looking like September.

Thoughts are with you blue, get well soon.

This is a common issue.
A&E is the only hospital dept that can’t close or turn people away because they are ‘full’.
Whilst other depts can declare they can’t help, ‘go to A&E’ … A&E is left carrying the can.
Then, having treated the emergency or accident the patient needs to shifted - where you found yourself - and then it’s a fight between depts to not take you. Especially when issues are potentially multi deptartmental - ‘no you should them’, ‘no you’ - and doubly at weekend when depts are shorter lower level staffed.
And finally because of the wonderfully introduced ‘internal market’ every patient is ‘worth’ something, the less problematic the patients problems the better - the dept can make more ‘profit’ on simple cases, whereas complicated ‘cost’ them more. Hence massive pushback against A&E desperate to move patients out from the frontline after being fixed.

Blame anything but A&E

That’s exactly what happened.
A&E were waiting for urology to sort it
After about 5 hours urology sent down a junior doctor who couldn’t get a catheter in.
Then a further hour lapsed before a Registrar came down from urology and drained my bladder.
