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

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'd do the same - OP's probably posting from a phone or iPod. I'd need to get my mind distracted and so I'm always on the FML app.

I suffer from chronic pain, and I often use the Internet to help take my mind off of it. If the distraction works, go with it.

Exactly, #114. I often use the Internet as a way to try to distract myself from the pain.

That happened to my sister. She broke her arm at school and they told her she was fine. She sat there for two more hours before they let her go to the nurse.

Same thing happened to my daughter, except it was the school nurse who told her she was fine, and would not send her home.

Stop being a pussy. I've broken my fair share of bones and never have taken pain medication.

Why are you on FML posting? It must not be that bad.

Dang been there when I broke my left arm the ER took 4 hours just to say "it's broken" and recommend me to an orthopedist who molded the cast so poorly that I need surgery that caused my arm to take an extra 4 weeks to recover and put pins in my arms and bones which were pulled out while I was awake. I feel for ya.

You don't need any stupid potions or lotions. Be tough!

When I was 18 months old I went 6 days without a cast on a spiral fracture on my femur because the doctor was stupid (after I did get a cast the x rays disappeared) with no medication.

But I'm pretty sure you don't remember being 18 months old...

You don't need to. Ever heard of parents?
