Today, I learned how it feels to sneeze after having major spinal surgery when the pain medication has almost completely worn off. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I now know what it feels like to violently sneeze while a nurse still has a needle in your arm. FML
Today, I sneezed so hard that I threw my back out. Now my back is in agonizing pain, and I can barely walk. FML
Today, I got whiplash from sneezing. FML
Today, despite only being 39, I nearly threw my back out when I sneezed. FML
Today, I sneezed so hard that I re-dislocated my shoulder. FML
Today, I sneezed so hard I herniated my back. After passing out from the pain I awoke on the floor covered in my own shit and piss. Unable to move, I had to wait in this state for four hours for my wife to return home from work, clean me up and take me to the hospital. FML
Today, I suffered an uncontrollable sneezing attack. I have the runs. It wasn't exactly as bad as I'd have expected. Just a lot worse. FML
Today, I'm recovering from surgery. Every time I laugh, it hurts so badly I start to cry, which hurts even worse and makes it difficult to breathe. The painkillers I'm on make everything seem funny. I laughed so hard at a dumb pun that I nearly passed out. FML
Today, I sneezed so hard I fell down the stairs. FML
Today, I sneezed so hard, I farted. During my vaccine appointment. I hate hayfever. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I feel you… but I still had to laugh. There's nothing better than Schadenfreude after a long day.

I have back pain and sometimes when I sneeze it hurts to the point I try not to move at all. I hope you get better and hopefully you can walk again! Just take the morphine/painkillers that the Doc will prescribe you. Just remember to stop taking them after you don't need them. It will mess you up if you take them for too long!

I know you mean the meds they give you in surgery. Mine didnt feel that bad for a few hours after either. But you really need to take the pills they give you every x hours. Dont wait for the pain to start, because it takes about an hour to work.

Been there. I know your pain.
