biting your tongue

Worse! I have an SUV. I had something in the back so when I got home, I opened the back door (it goes up). I removed the bags, then as I always do I pulled the handle down to close the door. Normally, I'm out of the way before the door comes down or maybe it just came down faster than normal. Whichever it was, it came down HARD on my shoulder. I had to just stand there for a minute, not moving because it hurt so bad I was nauseous. Once that passed, I closed the door, CAREFULLY this time, and went inside. I looked at my shoulder and saw a huge bruise forming already. This was yesterday and today I could barely move from the pain. It's going up my neck and across my back to right between my shoulder blades. It feels like my arm is about to fall off and the worst part is that it is my left arm and I am left handed. Two years ago I smashed the middle finger on my left hand in the car door. That was a trip to the hospital because I honestly thought my finger was broken. Luckily, it wasn't broken but I did do permanent tendon damage so the end bone on that finger points down now instead of straight out. I'm beginning to think that SUV doesn't like me. Then, today, while eating lunch, I also bit my tongue. At least it wasn't too bad or maybe it was that my shoulder hurts so much that I barely noticed my tongue hurting.

I do it very often. I don't know why. It is just another way of hurting myself. It is completely avoidable and unnecessary.

I've certainly bitten my tongue or the inside of my cheek. Probably the silliest is the time I bit my finger!

Hi Winterose, Oh I feel for you! I have done that and it does hurt really bad. now that i have my new teeth, I am more likely to bite the inside of my lip for some reason. I've not done it in awhile, but I still have the marks inside of my mouth that I can feel with my tongue. It hurts really bad when that happens.

Yes a lot of times,one time I took my cup out of the frezer and when I put my mouth on the cup my tongue got paste to the cup, and to take it off was difficult and my tongue got broken and I was bleeding.

yeas i have such accident severa times. i eat my tounge by mistake. it happen when i enjoy some meat and have no patient to eat. eat them in one bite. ahha. what a shame. but i rally did it several times

I've done similar things, but I have managed to slow myself down before biting too hard. I did it just the other day, and managed to stop myself. It didn't even hurt after. I guess I was just a little too hungry, and tried to eat my food a little too fast. LOL

Yes, and it is painful. My great aunt was sitting in school one day when she was young and she accidentally tipped her chair over. She bit her tongue so hard half of it was hanging off. They had to take her to the emergency room and sow it back on fully.

All the time! When Iwas young I thought that something minor Had to go wrong for things to go right. So biting my tongue would mean my dinner would be perfect! Now I'm a little less clumsy I guess because I have had times where Everything was perfect!

Haven't bitten my tongue for a long time, but lately while I'm eating I seem to keep biting the inside of my cheek. What's even more stupid is that after doing it once, I try to take care when chewing in case I do it again, then I do go and do it again! The air here (language-wise) gets very blue afterwards, and I get very annoyed with myself.

I have really bad teath. I sometimes have a sharp spot on a tooth and can bite down and cut my inner cheek. No fun! I want to have the 12 teeth I have left extracted and dentures made but I have no money and haven't checked into insurance for this as yet. I don't remember biting my tongue in a while.

Yes, it happens and certainly, not on purpose, but I feel like kicking my rear end for doing such a careless thing. Oops, no, I don't have to kick myself, the tongue hurts real bad, to begin with. I put honey to relieve the pain.

Yes I do, in the past 2-3 weeks more frequently also on the inside of my cheek :-( I have bms (burning mouth syndrome) suddenly. I hope it's the prednisone. So it makes it hard for me to talk, eat etc.

Yup! It happened many times while eating food. Once I was having my food(it was spicy) and suddenly I bit my tongue so hardly. It pained me a lot and started bleeding, it was annoying. After that till 2 days I couldn't have my food properly as it was paining while I chew some spicy food.

Yes I have done this and Yes it hurts real bad and right now. I have also bit down on a canker sore and again hurts like you know what.

I usually end up biting my lip or somehow the inside of my cheek. I know that hurts like heck! Hopefully the pain goes away soon. I burnt the roof of my mouth several days ago and it is still hurting a little bit. I think I feel a little blister up there on the roof of my mouth.
