Author Topic: Can someone tell me what it is like to lose a limb?  (Read 3323 times)


Just think of the extreme pain and agony of a simple wound, and times that suffering by 10. The pain is so great, you scream without choice. Just the simple impulse, and pain propels you to do so. Tears stream out of your eyes from the mere pressure of hurt, and blood spills from your wound, trying to fix the problem. You instantly clamp your hands down on the stubbed end, and your bone had ripped, and shattered off in a crooked spiky manner. Joints and ligaments and veins hang loosely and torn from the end, and flesh has been mangled about in heap of bloody suffering.


I think I went a little too far there...
You would die of shock.

Probably, unless you were saved in time.

Azerath, that was so sick, but the way you explained it, with so much detail was beautiful!

I thought it was creepy, but thanks anyways.

Overdramatic, more like.

darth did you go threw anything when you were a child?

Whoa whoa, harsh. You don't need to insult him for respecting a descriptive piece of literature.

Yeah, I had a bad day.

Watch the first 5 minutes of Saving Private Ryan, the guy calmly walks along the beach looking for his arm, until he finds it. So it probably doesn't hurt THAT BAD.

According to some shark attack victims that lost limbs, they didn't notice the shark bit them until they saw blood everywhere. So if it's cut off and you're in shock maybe you won't notice, if it's blown off you'll probably notice.

Haha...No, I didnt go through anything when I was a child. The whole paragraph itself was sick and cruel, but I ment on how descriptive it was, that is the beautiful part.

There's also something called "phantom" or "ghost" limbs.  

This is the sensation of still having the limb and moving it, but it not really being or happening at all.

Now someone explain this to me. Im using the m1919 again, which I've concluded uses 50.cal bullets. And Im shooting people in the legs, and in only one or two shots their legs fly off! I know 50.cal rounds are large, but really how can it be THAT powerful. I guess it would work by shooting the joint enough times, but they blow off in only 1 or two shots.

It hurts. Alot.



Well, so my patients have told me, but most of the time it's because I usually accidentally drop my scalpel.

the video to one by metallica has scenes from a movie that has someone in it who had his limbs blown off
