It just happened to me yesterday (at 38) after stubbing my toes against a hidden stone: the pain was sudden, unexpected and excruciating! I hate to show my weakness in front of other people, so I tried very hard to fight back the tears but I didn't manage and after some moments I started really crying. Result: three toes and some small bones broken... Should I consider myself a crybaby?

Don't consider yourself a crybaby! Pain is pain, man.

Yes.

A crybaby because you broke your toes? Hell no.....

No, but pardon my smile. That made my day.

I was 20 and had a rout canal, I cried because they didn't wait for the pain killers to kick in.LOLDuring labor tho I was sleeping, I had no pain and asked for no pain killers. But man, a tooth pain is a killer!

How can you fight breaking bones in such a delicate place as the toes?

My dad got in a fight a long time ago and said he broke his nose, right arm and two figners were dislocated. He also said he didn't cry. I think he lied.

Breaking a toe never heals right.

*shhhhhhhhhhh*

>.> What I say!??

yes I cried when my wisdom teeth were growing in...I couldnt afford to have them removed and the were turned sideways in my gums so they had to turn as they were coming through. Id rather go through the pain of labor again then go through cutting another wisdom tooth cry

yes. if you consider me as adult

My eyes have watered, does that count?
Did that yesterday when I got sherbet blow in my eyes and it started popping and fizzing on my eyeballs.
Also most times I've been hit by a car, and when I broke my arm

No physical pain I can pretty much mentally block, I didnt cry when my appendix where rupturing last year.

It's emotional pain that gets me everytime I seem to have no defenses against it cry

Did your appendix actually rupture, or did they cut it out or give you drugs for it?

Mine too...sorry....but no broken toes are painful enough, and you are a woman I think its even more understandable for females (society wise)

I was 12 hours in pain before I saw a doctor, and then another 2 before I got to hospital, then another 30 minutes waiting for surgical Dr to confirm appendicitis, then they gave me some morphine, then I had emergency surgery. Afterwards the surgeon said they caught it just in time, my appendix was leaking but hadnt fully ruptured.

You get a pass on this one. But next time, suck it up, kay? .... j/k


That sounds really painful. I wouldn't consider you a crybaby. I personally haven't shed "physical pain" tears as an adult.
But I usually whine about the pain, and ask everyone to bring me stuff for a week after my owwie...
