    Dislocated shoulder. It went over the front of the socket which is apparently quite rare, and the most painful. I was blacking out front the pain, a friend fainted, ambulance gave me laughing gas which was great. Hospital visit was not fun, they tried various kinds of morphine which didn’t seem to have much of an effect, then ended up giving me some sort of date rape ‘cooperative sedation’ meds and letting the student doctors take turns to fail at relocating my arm and fuck up the socket even more.

      I mean I get that med students need to learn somehow but I feel like after one failed attempt a real doctor should do the job. Or like, build devices that allow to practice without causing harm to a person. Wtf

      Mine dislocates this way as well. Bends you in half so you have to baby step walk right. It’s happened six times now.

      Nobody understands how bad this hurts. ER visit every time with 2-3 hour wait in ER with no pain meds. My shoulder is destroyed but now I’ve built up enough muscle to hold it in place.

      Seriously people are like yeah that happened to me once, wasn’t that bad, why didn’t you just pop it back in yourself?

      No motherfucker this is a completely different story.

      But yeah. I understand you! Cluster headaches got nothing on this type of dislocation.
