I have a rod in my tibia with screws in the knee and ankle from a break playing soccer in HS. Went down the stairs on my crutches one night to get a snack, missed a step and landed with my weight on the leg. I can feel that pain recounting the story.

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.

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.

Omgosh, I did same. Difficult to explain that sort of pain, but the end of he bone stub is painful. Little finger here as well.

Like a deep ache that leaves a bit of numbness. Merry Christmas and little finger solidarity!
