"I'll Give My Left Nuts For..."

A jury awarded nearly $1 million to an Ohio man who says he has endured years of pain and must walk bowlegged after his left testicle was struck by a broken weight machine bar at an athletic club.

"I can barely walk, let alone run. There's a constant throbbing of pain. I mean, it's my testicle. That's a very uncomfortable spot to feel pain," said Jason Houston, 25, adding that sex is tenuous following the February 2004 injury at a local YWCA.

Houston, who won the $953,700 award on Monday, was lifting about 68kg on a leg extension machine when a cable broke. That caused a centre steel rod with an adjusting ball to swing 180 degrees into his groin.

Houston has been receiving treatment for pain since. A nerve pain blocker was installed but that has not corrected all the pain.

"It's a horrendous injury. Everyone who hears his story just kind of winces," Houston's lawyer said.

That would hurt, so, so much.

Just a question, what do you all think would hurt more?
a) getting kicked in the testicles
b) giving birth to a child

Seriously, when you get hit really badly (I once fell off some monkey bars, really really hurt, don't ask...) you can't even walk or speak. Is childbirth worse than that?

I'm probably just being really naive here...

Depends if she had a c-section of natural birth.

Imagine you're Louis (from Family Guy) and giving birth to Stewie.

"Good Lord. Either you did a C-section or you're a wonderwoman"

I think giving birth would be more tiring than anything else. Having to push and everything, all that sweating.

I came out with my hands on my head, meaning my elbows were pointing outwards. Ouch.

9 months of labour. Can't drink alcohol nor take a ciggie. Then you feel cheated because someone inside of you are eating all the good meals swimming along.

city_thing....did you came out by using those tongs clamped onto the skull?

9 months of labour? Geez, I hope not!!!! :\

Childbirth is apparently pretty painful. I mean - it's a freaking baby. Doesn't just fall out!!!

Not something I'm looking to try out anytime soon.

(However I'm sure being kicked in the balls would also be INCREDIBLY painful )

I was only in there for 8 months. I was an impatient little prick even during my time in the womb. From what I remember, I came out pretty quickly. They had to put ice blocks up my mothers BEEP to stop the swelling I caused by grating her with my elbows.

And don't make it sound like being in the womb is that great, you're stuck there beside some disgusting looking placenta for months on end and your mother won't even drink or smoke so there's no chance of cooling your nerves.

When I came out, I must have thought to myself 'Christ, that's the freakin' last time I'm going near one of those again" -hence, the gayness.

Not even close to enough money for that.

And he was only pushing 68kgs on the leg press....pussy.

... and that's the sound of all the men who have just read this snapping their legs shut.

Ouch that would kill.

I can't believe he has got two left ones - what a package !!!

Poor guy. Im wincing just reading that.
My wife attempted to describe childbirth as if I were the one pregnant. "Try to imagine pushing a baby out of something not too much larger than your pee hole."
"Ouch"

I would rather be kicked in the nuts, you recover after a few minutes then can drink as much as you like.

Once when exams were on at university I didn't drink anything but green tea for two weeks. I came pretty close to madness. I started answering all questions asked of me with quotes from Machiavelli's The Prince.

Talking about sore, how about this (true story)

"A friend of mine is a spray painter, one day at work he was leaning into and painting the engine bay of an old HT holden panel van. As he manouvered himself around to spray the firewall the wire bonnet release pierced his overalls, went through his undies and went straight up the eye of his old fella without touching the sides"

Still makes my eyes water today!

[aussiescraperman]

someone told me that on a pain scale of 1 to 10, getting kicked in the balls very hard is 3, whilst giving birth is 10.

a friend of mine got kicked so hard in the testicles, that he had to go to the hospital and get a ultra sound doen on them, to see if they were all right..ouch.

Scientific enquiry: If he has more than one left ball, were both? all? left balls involved and if so, does the amount of pain increase or decrease according to the number of balls?

Scientific Information:
A lady of my acquaintance said in a moment of medical confidence that she didn't know which hurt more, giving birth or the aftermath of the haemorrhoid removal operation made necessary by the pregnancy!!! She thought, on consideration, it was probably the latter because it went on for so long (weeks as opposed to hours) and whereas with the normal birth she only produced a child, with the haemorrhoid operation it was like giving birth to Australia!
Ouch.
