I am a lifetime biker (I'm 44) and I have had my share of smashes, Ive broken a lot of bones and I even had my arm driven over by a Mercedes that had just knocked me off my bike
I consider my pain threshold to be very high, I removed a plaster cast for a broken wrist after 14 days because I couldn't handle not being able to work or ride my bike.
I have pulled my own teeth and I used two knives and a razorblade to remove a stone that was embedded in my foot after an accident. Home surgery is common with me as I have an absolute hatred of doctors and hospitals.
Doctors like to practice everybody will agree,
But I'm not having doctors practicing on me.
I have also had a 60 foot cliff fall while climbing in Spain and I smashed up my legs pretty bad, they're all better now but it hurt like hell at the time.
However the worst pain is the pain I feel almost every day from a trapped nerve in my back, the pain starts in my back but spreads down both my legs and I feel like a friggin invalid because it's the first time in my life I have ever been stopped dead in my tracks by pain.
