How old were you last time you cried for physical pain? And why?

It happened to me at 38. I broke three toes while walking bare feet on a beach, banging heavily against a hidden stone.

The pain was indescribable and I couldn't help crying in spite of my effort to fight back the tears.
In fact there were a lot of people around and I hate the idea to be seen crying. I felt ashamed, but I couldn't hold back.

(My parents have always told me that Big girla don't cry!!!!)

What about you?

About 5 1/2 months ago when I was in labor. God it was bad but so worth it.

Are you fat?

I have been hit by a car i had a bleeding brain, cracked skull and a punctured lung. but i didnt feel any pain cos i was unconcious

at 33 i woke up with a musclke cramp in my calf .both legs..it hurt

crying is a release...and believe it or not it can actually help you with your pain. Instead of holding in in...you simply chose to release it. Laughing is also a release. Some people break out in laughter at the most inopportune times...its only a release. I broke one toe last year (I am 45) and you better believe I cried. It hurts and I had to get the pain out.
I deal with chronic pain from 2 failed back surgeries. I cry when the pain gets really bad and then I am okay. It sort of does a cleaning out of the mind.
And the thing about being a big girl...believe it or not...you are being a big girl because you actually had the courage to cry infront of people without giving a **** what they think..You had to get through it on your own terms. Kudos for you.

I think I was 6 the last time.. but I was crying more because nobody really cared, not even the teacher when I smashed my finger. It wasn't bleeding but the finger was dislocated and it hurt so bad I almost threw up. Then when I was 13 I had my nose broken and I cried.. but I think that doesn't count since it's kind of expected.

But don't feel ashamed.. sometimes its just a natural reaction to the pain.

a few years ago i had dental surgery and while i was under, the doctor cut the inside of my lip, it got sooo infected it swelled up like a balloon. after suffering all weekend until his office opened monday, he gave me antibiotics, not much happened a few days later he gave stronger ones, within 1-2 days the infection started pouring out. i think it hurt worse than childbirth!

last year I had such a tooth ache, the hours seems eternal then i was crying a lot, sitting in the kitchen and my little dog came close to me as she wanted to comforting me!

22, the docs thought I had appendicitis, but, they said I was moving around too much and found that instead I had a couple ruptured ovarian cysts...hurt like a you know what and luckily the pumped me with enough meds to put me to sleep.
