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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Two years ago I had a scoliosis surgery. I definitely know your pain. Pain shot down my back whenever I had to get up from the couch to get food or use the bathroom. Basically I had a tent set up on my couch lol. Hope you feel better soon!! :)

Ouch!! I'm so sorry! I can only imagine how much that must have hurt. I know not all sneezes are stoppable, but it could be worth a shot. Whenever you feel a sneeze coming on at a not-so-great time, try firmly pressing your tongue to the roof of your mouth (right behind your front teeth) for a few seconds. If that fails to work, close your mouth and pinch/press your nostrils closed for a few seconds. Though you may think you look silly doing that no matter how well you try to disguise it, if it works, it's so worth it! Best of luck and have a speedy recovery!
