Today, I dislocated my shoulder. I was screaming and writhing in pain, and my eyes were shut for most of the ride to the hospital. We stopped, and I was thrilled because I thought we were at the ER. I was wrong. My dad had stopped to order a cheeseburger. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my eye started hurting with unbelievable pain. I couldn't see out of it and I asked my father if he would take me to the hospital, since it was hurting so bad. He said he had to wait for the pizza he ordered for delivery. I had to call a cab to go to the emergency room because of pizza. FML
Today, I went to my favorite burger joint. Upon taking the first bite of my burger, I dislocated my jaw. The employees had to call 911. FML
Today, I hurt my arm in a scooter accident. When my dad came to pick me up, instead of taking me to the hospital like a normal dad, he took me directly home where he spent a hour shaving and taking a shower so he would "look nice" when we went to the hospital, while I clutched my arm in pain. FML
Today, I had to pick my parents up from the hospital and drive them back home, after they were treated for eating large amounts of cheese that my dad claimed to have "aged" for several years. FML
Today, I had whiplash after my dad and I were rear ended by a suburban. Despite the state trooper saying I should go, my dad delayed taking me to the ER because he wanted to pick up the dog from "doggy daycare" and take her for a nice long walk, while I waited for my mom to come home. FML
Today, I was in agonizing pain and couldn't move. My parents said they couldn't take me to the ER until the football game on TV was over. FML
Today, my father tripped over the dog and hit a wall. He was so convinced his arm was broken that we waited for 3 hours in emergency to find out he had a bruise. FML
Today, I dislocated my shoulder doing a really big stretch when I woke up. After the doctor relocated it, my dad told me I still had to do my chores. No excuses. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs and broke my leg. My dad helped me to the car so he could drive me to the hospital, but when he saw our neighbor, he went over and had a 15 minute screaming match with him over how his dog keeps shitting on our lawn, all while I sat in the car in agony. FML
Today, as I was walking home, I saw an ambulance pull into my driveway with its sirens blaring. Thinking it could be for my sick father, I started frantically sprinting. I managed to trip on my pant-leg, twisting my ankle in the process. They were just turning around in my driveway. FML

Just because someone else is in a worse situation than you it doesn't mean you can't complain about your own situation.

Argh I hate it when people say that. It's like saying "why are you smiling when there are other people so much happier than you?"

I would like to see you dislocate a shoulder and not wine about it.

If you were an Australian Rugby player you'd just knock it back in position

Its not that bad, i did it last year at football practice and we popped it back in place and gave me a couple advil. I cant throw like i use to, or do some stuff with that arm cause it still hurts. Oh well, but hey we were in the playoffs, and i couldn't miss the game. We won the next game.

It was a dislocated shoulder.... It's not life threatening

Definitely not a fun injury OP. But screaming in pain? I had a 13-year-old break his collarbone (we had to assume a dislocation, but treatment is the same so it really didn't matter) and he kept his composure. I'll assume that was an embellishment, to render the FML more interesting.

From what I know a broken collarbone hurts but is bearable if you don't move too much. Dislocation hurts like hell until its back in place. Can't compare the two.

My mom dislocated her shoulder a few years ago and she said it was one of her most painful experiences, besides from giving birth.

Reminds me of Peter Griffin when he's stopped at a drive-thru while taking his Sister-in-law to the hospital, while she's in labor.

Only excusable if he stopped at In n out

I don't know if any of you have ever had a dislocated shoulder before but they say it's worse than labor, and it's like one of the most painful things to do. And did this remind anyone of family guy when his sister in law was having a baby?:)

It's not worse then labor

I never been in labour so can't compare. But a dislocated shoulder isn't that painful, I've had female pains that hurt more.. Mind you, my shoulder does makes funny noises now.
