#i'm not even ticklish which indicates that my nerves are naturally desensitized

as someone who gets hurt quite frequently, here's my top 4 in no particular order:

1) less than a year ago, 190°c (374°f) hot glue dripped down my fingers and melted the skin along the way. it hurt so bad i gagged multiple times, and what hurt the most was that it actually kept hurting for hours. not just my hand's, no, my whole arm's, and even my shoulder's nerves burnt like they were actively on fire for several hours. the skin there has a different texture now.

2) during quarantine, i plugged in something that had a faulty wire, so it caught on fire, but the fire wasn't what burnt me. the fire melted the plastic around the wire, and the melted plastic fell on my hand. hurt like a bitch (less than the hot glue though). still got a little scar that never healed well.

3) last year, i gave myself a bruised heel. that sounds unserious, but i actually couldn't walk on it for two weeks. my calcaneus was intact, but muscles and nerves around it were not. how did that happen? i stomped too hard (don't ask). had to go to the ER less than 24h later because i couldn't even lay in bed still, the damn foot just hurt on its own. what hurt the most, looking back at it, was my pride, because it doesn't matter how often i used them in my life, i still can't figure out crutches.

4) had a migraine that lasted three whole days. i couldn't move, couldn't speak, couldn't open my eyes, couldn't even swallow. it just hurt. i threw my soul up and it only aggravated my migraine, then i went blind, then i passed out, then i threw up again. i was blind for about ten hours out of those three days. all i could see besides nothingness were flashes of light, but since i was in a completely dark room, that was worrying. i did sleep, but only 2-3h per night, so it didn't help. my mother called the hospital and they told her to call my doctor first, but my doctor had just retired without a warning so we gave up. i couldn't possibly make it to the car anyway.

(my burns have healed, my heel's doing better, and i'm on migraine medication now)
