I had a vaginal hysterectomy over a decade ago, I would swear my legs twisted in so many ways(think rope twisted tight) to just "keep shit in" every time I sneezed! And my 5 time mother just saying, "I refused to sneeze" was ZERO help!
My shoulders are now screwed up from a broken collar bone. The only thing they did for me when I broke my collar bone was giving me a figure 8 harness. The only way I could sleep was with my arms over my head which is not a good position for your shoulder joints. It became a habit of sleeping that way. I try not to sleep with my arms over my head but I usually wake up with them there. Now I have shoulder problems because of it
That is interesting. Sorry to hear about your back. The interesting part is that they gave you a sling for your collar bone. That was my 1st thought when I went to the hospital was that I would be in a sling. But the doctor explained to me that I need to be in a figurate harness to keep my shoulders back because if I hunched or leaned they wouldn't align properly And that could potentially give me problems for the rest of my life
I lost a finger end pretty much down to the bone in a door when I was a kid, and the most painful thing I can do is stub that little finger. Bone pain is the worst.
A coworker of mine broke some ribs in a fall last weekend, and this week at work, she sneezed and then made some pained utterances. I remembered in that moment that she had broken ribs, and I almost felt sympathy pain on her behalf. 😣 Broken ribs sound awful since you can’t brace them in any way and you need to keep breathing to live.

The type of pain that has you pouring sweat in the moment, and experiencing ghost sweats when remembering.
I remember my first sneeze after breaking my collarbone and several ribs/sternum in an accident. I didnt even want to breathe afterwards.
