Today, I broke my right leg. I've had one shot of morphine, and even that only relieved the pain a little. It's now totally worn off and I have yet to get pain medication of any kind. My leg has been broken for over nine hours now. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I missed my bus. But it didn't miss me. I've been in the hospital for 8 hours with a broken leg. FML
Today, thanks to America's opiate epidemic, I can no receive the pain management I require for broken ribs. FML
Today, I'm in hospital after having surgery for a broken leg. I’m maxed out on Endone and still in pain. Work have said that I’m on the roster next week and I’ll be fired if I’m not there. My wife said that she is going to have some "me time" for a few days when I get home from my "holiday". FML
Today, I fell down the stairs, breaking my foot and tendons. It was the first time I had ever broken anything, and the doctor said that it's the most complicated break he'd ever seen. It's too complicated to operate. Now I'm stuck in a wheelchair for god knows how long. FML
Today, I had my first real break from work in ages, so I decided to go hiking. Less than 20 minutes in, I tumbled a couple hundred feet down a steep hill, broke my leg and several toes, and lay there in agony for an eternity before I was finally rescued. FML
Today, I was riding my bike when I passed a derelict house that recently burned. Curious, I dismounted and went inside. I stepped on a nail, and while I was staggering in agony, I hit a weak spot in the floor and broke my other leg. FML
Today, the sciatic nerve in my left leg started twinging at random moments, leaving that leg painful and useless for a few seconds each time. Yesterday, I twisted my right knee and ankle falling over at work. Standing up is terrifying and I don't know which leg to limp on. FML
Today, I broke my leg while trying to show my friend how I broke my other leg. FML
Today, I started my cure from my opioid addiction. My whole body is so sore, I'm lying in bed and I'm still hurting to the point that I cried half the day, and nothing will make me feel any better. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs and landed heavily on my foot. Because I wasn't crying, my mom refused to take me to the hospital. It took me an hour of agony to convince her. It turned out to be broken in three different places. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

And instead of finding help you post on FML

Good call 104. I'm pretty smart, but I had completely overlooked the fact that OP might have broken her leg by breaking the bone. Thanks for your diagnosis, doctor.

i broke my leg once, they refused me morphine the whole time while they stretched out my leg and twisted the unattached half till it was straight ;)

I broke mine too. As soon as I was in the ambulance, I got something much better than morphine. If his leg is broken and he's gone to the er, someone will have done something. Either way, man up. I'm a girl and that crap didn't hurt me until they tried to reset it.

Was it Fentynal? I'm on that and it is stronger than morphine

I shattered my knee leg and ankle. i didn't get pain meds but I didn't feel it believe it or not. Adrenaline is awesome stuff. it wears off tho and it hurts.

Somehow get to the hospital and grab a doctor and rub his face on your leg saying "No. Bad, more morphine. Please" maybe that'll work. Argh!

why don't you try getting someone to take you to the doctors instead of going on FML to post about it.

Yes, because his family just has MORPHINE laying around.

exactly unless hes got a doctor in the family and even then why would they have it at their house, if I broke my leg and was in pain the last I would think about is let me put this on FML to see if someone on there will help me out.

19- Don't you realize she said to get someone to take op to the doctors? She never said anything about having morphine in anyone's home. You really should think about actually reading the post before posting such a rude comment!
leadman1989 16
I was being sardonic, both of you completely missed the point of my post. It's obvious op has already visited or us still in a hospital.

to be honest I don't believe this FML

Let me say this slowly, 133. People generally don't have syringes of morphine on hand. It's a controlled substance. DOCTORS have access to morphine. The OP has been GIVEN morphine. Any intelligent person would conclude from this that the OP has SEEN a doctor.

**** your life. I broke my ankle once and it hurt like shit. I don't want to know what you're going through.

It doesn't specify, but I think OP is in the hospital already in the emergency room. Am I the only one who thinks so? ..Because my mother was in the same situation as you, except that it was her arm that was broken into 10 fragments. She had to wait 7 hours for a nurse to come give her pain medication, after which she had to lift her own arm to x-ray it. All while lying on a wooden board.

Gone to the wrong hospital then...

What a pussy I never needed morphine when I broke my leg and dislocated my shoulder in a car accident

I'm not behind a computer monitor and how am I a pussy if I don't need morphine when I break a bone in my body

You are behind a computer screen or phone. Everyone has different pain tolerances. Most doctors would give you something for the pain, as you can go into shock from the pain. Your just another ignorant bastard on this planet.
