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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

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.

TheCylonmaster, I couldn't help but notice you just triple posted, and then complain about anti-flood protection or whatever it's called in your description... Thank **** it exists otherwise we might actually live in a world in which you quadruple post.

Don't be a pussy, I've broken my left femur 3 times and I can't recollect and pain other than the staples, and it was only a mild pinch.

Stop whining you junkie.

could be worse, you could be like me. I'm allergic to morphine and can't receive a lot of painkillers due to their similarity to morphine.

I am sorry op. I know how you feel I broke both of my arms at the same time, two bones in each arm. My right arm was CLEARLY broken, the bones were bent!! The had to straighten it out before putting a cast on. Anyway, I went to the ER and I was waiting for over four hours just to be seen!! A nurse helped me so much she said to relax all the muscles in that part of your body and to elevate it. Every time I started to feel pain I would relax all the muscles again and it barely even hurt!! Good luck!!!!!

I have broken my wrist, cracked my skull, broken my nose two bones on my left foot and recently i'm recovering from a surgery that had to be made, because i broke some important bones on both my feet, because i attempted to push my parcour falling skills a little higher. Those are only my bone injuries, and what helped me all the time, was to focus my attention on something else like playing videogames, reading, talking, watching incredible dumb movies or something like that. Actually when i broke mynwrist i didn't believe it was broken, so it didn't hurt that much. I carried my life normally for two days until my parents took a closer look at my wrist and saw something weird, that's how we found out it was broken. The power of the mind is something powerfull use it

Well that sucks!!!!
Lanceeden 12
You shouldn't be feeling the pain unless you're messing with it dude. It should swell and go slightly numb, and at that point just REST it. It's all in your head...

No, because I think he broke his leg to feed his morphine addiction. Smart doctors, don't play OP's games!!!

Alexisthebestest 16
The doctors aren't going to do shit about the pain, to be honest.
ShyAnn29 15
They can't give too much morphine or it'll cause you to stop breathing, so they have to be careful
Alexisthebestest 16
The only time they like to administer morphine is when someone is in great pain- by that I mean people dying with cancer, etc. Most of the time they like to prescribe you benedryl for no ******* reason. Seriously.
yadisingh 5
If it's been nine hours, the doctors are supposed to give more morphine. They put enough morphine to keep your stable and in peace for 1-2 hours. And if OP's at the hospital, the doctors have to do shit for him. It's their ******* job. BTW, most reputable hospitals will have manual morphine buttons that inject you with morphine at intervals when you feel pain. Find a better hospital.
Alexisthebestest 16
Doctors are always ******* sketchy when it comes to morphine. You have to be on spot with it. They usually don't administer it for broken legs and shit- they'll use a medicine that's not as strong. They usually like to give you strong doses of Tylenol & benedryl first. Trust me, doctors don't care as much as you would like to think.
BIEBERSLAYER 10
They have meds other than morphine but doctors wont give you shit unless you really bitch about the pain. Had to learn that the hard way.
Alexisthebestest 16
I hear you on that. I remember once I went to a children's hospital because I was covered from head to toe in hives & they tried to write me a prescription for benedryl. ******* ridiculous!
rightsaidred 3
Benadryl is an ANTIHISTAMINE, you imbecile. That is EXACTLY what should be given for hives, which are indicative of a histamine response, i.e., an allergic reaction.
yadisingh 5
150. Yeah but there are nurses. It's obvious that you aren't in the medical field. If you were, you would know that benadryl is for hives. I know, it's been pointed out.
Alexisthebestest 16
178- you ******* moron, I KNOW. Why the **** would a doctor need to prescribe benedryl when you can get it over the counter? Calm your ****.
Alexisthebestest 16
185- actually, I'm going to school for oncology. I said it ridiculous to prescribe benedryl because a prescription is not needed for it. Thanks.
texasjalapeno_fml 0
Even tho it isn't needed it can allow for insurance to pay or for you to not have to look throughout the pharmacy for it and it allows you to not forget what you are getting and proof the doctor suggested you take it
rightsaidred 3
Oh, I don't know. Perhaps so that insurance or an HSA would cover it rather than the patient having to pay out of pocket? My roommate currently gets a prescription for Naproxen (Aleve). It's a stronger dose, and his company's HSA will pay for it as a prescription, but not OTC. This is the same reason many people continue to get their Claritin and other drugs by prescription, even though it is not legally necessary any longer.
