Worst physical injuries
 

Now I'm talking about the worst, not some "I pricked my finger with a tiny needle" pain, but more like "my leg blew off and I crapped my pants in agony" pain, unless the worst you've even experienced was pricking your finger with a tiny needle. Anyway...



I can safely say that I haven't gotten anything greatly terrible except a broken leg, and that was about 3 years ago. I was playing hockey and I was trying to go head on into the guy and unfortunately, he ducked, and took my knee at the same time. It didn't really hurt, but it felt the same way as if I punched my funny-bone. However, it did have its repricusions. I can no longer kneel on the ground without having some sort of pain-buildup around the knee around. Its mainly due to the fact that the breakage was a few inches about the knee-cap; my femur to be precise. Oh, its makes a funny crackling noise.


Good old cartilage.

I've been very lucky, actually. The worst I've ever gotten was a broken wrist, from falling on it the wrong way, and even that wasn't bad. I only had a cast for four weeks.

Didn't happen to me, but when my mom was a kid, the lawnmower flicked a sharpened dog bone at her, and it sliced her cheek open, which I always thought would hurt quite a bit.

I've been luckier that you :) . I haven't broken anything, nor I have it in my agenda.
However, stomach aches are a freaking torture.

I fell out of a tree and broke my right arm at the elbow and wrist.

It didn't hurt.

I've never broken any bones before. The only "injury" I ever had that caused me to miss just one day of class was about five years ago when I pulled a hamstring and couldn't walk properly. The next day, I felt better.

Well this is a bit of a long story. About 1 year ago I was training for the Miami Half-Marathon. I had done other marathons in the past and had no problem and my training was going fine. Then I signed up for my schools track team and started training even harder. After one of our track meets I just finished doing the 100 Meter sprint and my leg was hurting like a bitch. I didn't think much of it I thought it might have just been a buildup of lactic acid so I ignored it. The pain would go away for a bit then I would start training a bit and the pain would come back. I continued to ignore it. Then February came and it was time for me to run the marathon. My leg still had some slight pain in it but I thought nothing of it. I ran the marathon and completed it in 2 hours 2 minutes and 58 seconds. As soon as I crossed the finish line I limped over to the grass and had a seat. My leg was hurting like a mofo. It felt as if my leg was only being attached to the rest off my body by a piece of thread. I finally told my mom about it and I saw a doctor the next day. I had some X-Rays and an MRI taken. They found enflammed tissue, permanent bone damage, torn cartilage and something about a something about a misshaped meniscus or something. They had to do surgery to repair everything that was wrong and when I got out I felt like shit. I had to go to therapy for months. And my leg was so weak it couldn't even support my body. I regained the ability to walk after a few days but I still couldn't run or do martial arts. It took about 8 months before I started up my normal activities. But it was a major pain in the ass. So I guess the lesson here is when you feel something that isn't right go see a docotor ASAP.

Man, you seriously didn't find a broken arm painful? I'm not sure if you're hypermasculine or just a bit of a liar. ^^

Anyways, I hit a nasty bump while I was riding my bike a couple of years ago. Long story short, I went flying about 8 feet through the air, and wound up with one cracked arm bone, one sprained wrist, and a ton of scrapes and cuts. I'm probably lucky that I didn't do more damage, since I wasn't wearing a helmet at the time. -_-

In a separate incident, I had a tendon in my foot that popped out of place and hurt a lot more than the broken arm, but it went back in place and quit hurting after a couple of minutes, wheras the broken arm hurt like hell for about 6 hours until the doctors at the local emergency room quit herding me around the building aimlessly and let me sit down and take some codeine.

I was running from some dog and I didn't see this parked white volvo infront of me and I ran right into it. Halfway during the chase I pulled my right hamstring. Despite the extreme pain I kept running at full speed. The force of impact from hitting the volvo made the situation with my hamstring that much worse. I couldn't walk nor stand up for 2 weeks.

I broke many bones, even my toe and an arm and the pain with those is NO JOKE. But tearing a hamstring makes you wish for death I swear - I'll take a broken arm over a torn hamstring anyday.

And yes folks it's possible to run into a parked car.

Well, I've never had a broken bone or torn ligament, but...

I did have pneumonia for about two weeks. That shit made me feel like I seriously was going to die. My lungs would make this crackling, gurgling sound when I breathed too heavy. It was really nasty and caused me to have insane nightmares.

In summary, I'm glad I didn't die. =D

Hrm... a shattered right ankle.

I was playing hockey with the senior league (they're all 21+ and I was only 17), and decided to block a slapshot with my foot - yeah, bad idea to turn your foot to block a shot - my ankle shattered :( It was bad...

Nah. The break was so clean and it happened so quickly that it simply didn't hurt. At least, I don't remember it being painful. Certainly startling, especially for a five-year-old, but it really didn't hurt. My dad made a sling out of his belt and we drove all the way to the hospital and had it put into a cast, and I don't remember any pain or crying.

The worst physical injury I have incurred happened when I was about... ten years old? (The time was around there, I think.)
In any case, I fell while riding my bike and caused a gash in my right knee. (I fell on tiny rocks/gravel. Yes, I make a distinction.) The thing wasn't that serious--it didn't leave any of the knee joint exposed, although I do remember it being rather deep. I ended up needing seven stitches in my right knee, and a get out of P.E. class free card for about a month. I did have to walk up three flights of stairs every day, though.
No, it's not that bad >_<

Hmmm find my post here somewhere. http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/ge...tal-again.html

This thread is practicaly the same. sorry

...but injuries don't equate to stupid things performed by one's self, and stupid things done by one's self don't equate to injury.

I've had plenty of physical injuries - this one time, I crouched under my computer desk to pick something up, and while standing up, I hit my head on the keyboard tray, which then fell off and broke my right middle finger. It also split the finger open and required a few stitches. I knew it was broken because I immediately felt like vomiting, but I didn't. I then patiently waited two hours for the local clinic to open so that I could get it splinted and stitched.

I currently have mono and my tonsils were pretty beat up a while ago. They were so swollen that I didn't want to swallow anything because it hurt and I was coughing up blood. Fun stuff.

When I was about ten years old, I was practicing with my softball team and a grounder took a really bad hop straight into my face, which shattered my nose. My nose wasn't broken: it was freakin' shattered. Blood was squirting out of my nose all over the place and I think that I may have blacked out at some point because my memory of the event is very fuzzy. I remember how bad it hurt pretty well, though.

A couple of weeks later I went to a surgeon and he popped my nose back into place while I was put under, which made me bleed just as much as when I broke it in the first place because it had kind of healed into the very crooked position that it had taken.

Yeah...breaking your nose sucks.

Out of my bedroom windows is a ground floor high smaller roof. I was out on that mukcing about when I fell from it to the paving below in our garden. On my face. My nose was smashed up quite a bit, though a little SURGERY got that sorted. This is why I have a different style face (sorta) to the rest of my family.

A different time I had a peice of wood and told my brother to try to roll a tire up it. Of course the tire was alot heavier than I thought and it drove a thick splinter through my finger and out the other side through my nail. I remember this one, it hurt so much :(. I was fine a while later, even though I had the splinter still in my finger. Slowly pulling it out was terrible :(

Uh...

I was once pushed from behind in a race on a black top. I scratched up my entire forearm. I think that was in the third grade.

Recently I pulled my calf muscle swimming. I forget what it's called but it sucked a lot.


Never broken a bone though.

When I was about nine years old, my brother, his friend, and I were running through the house after our parents said nobody was allowed in when they were gone. My brother's friend had to have weighed somewhere around 200lbs. and he was an inch taller than me. I ran into the bathroom, jumped in the shower, and hugged the wall. Who comes crashing in after me? My brother's friend. He slammed all his weight on one of my arms that was hugging the wall. I was screaming and crying.

When our parents came back, we lied and told them I fell down the stairs. They took me to ER and I found out my wrist was fractured in two places. :(

Aww man that sounds like sexual harassment. Why do fat guys always have to go out and be fat?

Haha. Maybe.

I just thought of another bad one. I was about eight years old and I was skating around in the driveway. My cousin was out there with me and got the bright idea of telling me to go all the way down the driveway and out into the street. The problem with that is where the driveway ended and the street began was this jagged drop. I hadn't yet learned how to stop except to circle into the grass. I ended up going down the driveway at a decent speed, but I couldn't circle into the grass fast enough. I hit the jagged edge and landed hard on my tail bone.

I was in excuriating pain for an entire week because I couldn't sit. If I did, it took forever to do it. Whenever I laid down to go to sleep, I couldn't sleep on a bed, I had to sleep on this cloth cot. I literally had to roll myself out of it because I couldn't sit straight up to get up. Looking back, I think I may have broken it, but my parents didn't take me to the doctor.

I pull muscles all the time while in bed...well okay, not all the time, butit does happen every few months or so. It's one of the most painful experiences I've faced.

Several Winters ago, I was walking home after work when I slipped on a patch of ice on the sidewalk. Damn, did that hurt, but a short while later it got worse. Everytime I moved that leg, it felt as if I was being electrified. Luckily it was fine the next day, but the very next day, I was walking home after work and I slipped on a patch of ice...yup, I landed on the very same leg. Not only did all the pain come back, my leg hasn't been the same since.

Perhaps the most yuckiest injury occurred when I was but a kit. I was walking towards the front door when I stepped on a large nail on the carpet. It basically put a hole through my foot. The amazing thing was, it didn't hurt at all, and it didn't bleed either. Maybe I've encountered some sort of miracle? I tugged the nail out and pretty much just went on my way.

P.S. I've never ever broken a bone in my body, although I have scraped my legs/knees badly lots of times.

Well, I have quite a bit ....... I broke my leg whe nI was rollerblading.... from my ankle streight to my hip... Hurt like hell. Skateboarding: I was tryinga manual & I was going quite fast & I wiped... Skidded my elbow right the the cartlige... had to go to the hospital HUrt real bad.. Then skateboarding gain, I went to hardflip down a four set& when I landed my truck bushing got crushed & there was a cement pillar right beside me & when the bushing crushed I went flying headfirst into the pillar... Major cuncusin... Snowboarding, I was in the backcountry & I ramped out into the regular trail & when I landed I rolled on my nose & I broke my wrist.... Theres mmore but I can't recall anything!

I've never broken anything, but several times I have been struck in the testicles by some sort of force.

I win the thread.

I've played soccer barefoot in France and broke my foot. That was probably the most EXCRUTIATING pain I've ever experienced. It's rare that I cry from pain, but man, I woke up in the middle of the night in TEARS it hurts so fucking badly.

I made the mistake of finishing the soccer match on the broken foot.

I've fallen off my bike when I was a kid and broken my wrist. That took about 24 hours for me to realize, too. I'm an idiot and refuse to give in to pain. Until it REALLY overtakes me.

When I was three, I fell and hit my head on a rock. I don't remember the specifics of the event (understandably), but I do know I needed stitches and I had massive pieces of dead skin falling off my forehead for a long time.
A close second goes to the time I steped on a needle and it broke inside my foot, thank god the hospital was so close!

Boy howdy do I have a list. A combination of eight years of weightlifting and football yields quite a few injuries.

Lessee:
- ACL got fully detatched. Have a six-inch scar down my right kneecap and two pins in my knee.
- Miniscus Cartillage disk split and removed. Another reason for the surgery mentioned above.
- Three vertebrae with hairline fractures from last summer that still haunt me to this day.
- Torn back muscle. Ow.
- Nerve damage! Due to repeated injury during senior year in football. Left hand is missing a lot of feeling. Right leg below the knee is about as numb. This makes jogging quite a feat >_>; And strange to watch. But I can do it~
- Broke my wrist when I was seven (no foozeball or liftin' involved of course. Was standing on a chair and fell off it lol).

I know I've told this story is another thread, but whatever. I hit a large thing in the road while riding my bike, and was flung face first into the conrete. I chipper a considerably large portion of my front tooth (which I later got fixed, but it is still really easy to notice) and I broke my left thumb.

Nothing so extreme with me. In Grade 8, I thought I got the hang of roller skating (four wheels, not like rollerblades) on our class trip, but then I went too fast and then landed backwards. I used my left palm to break my fall and then I cried for the rest of the trip :s It turned out I had a hairline fracture all the way up my left arm which made it painful to even attempt to bend it. That's what I get for practically slamming my hand down forcefully from a height of at least 4 feet.

Haha... how timely this thread is.

My right foot got ran over by a car exactly 4 weeks ago. yup. Yay for 2 more months of being in a cast. <3

My worst was probably back when I was 4. I got my arm broken by a cousin when we were wrestling. (Him: HUGE. Me: Puny. Think Bear v Dog where Bear is fucking huge.)

I already mentioned the stitches from cartwheeling the fourth grade in another thread.

My worst since is probably now. I was playing in a 3v3 basketball game last year in October. In-game, I landed awkwardedly and felt a shitload of cracks. I continued to play, and after taking more steps, heard more cracks. I finished the game, and even played the next game afterwards (these were intramural games). Got back, and it was swollen as shit. It was hell to walk. I had more games the next night (Final Four, bitches) and I played through that, but we lost.

I find out some weeks later (it's still somewhat swollen, better but still painful) that I had a ruptured ligament. All I could do is walk it off and stay off it for a while. I didn't begin staying off it until my winter break around Christmas.

So, feeling better in February, I started going all out again, averaging my six threes, seven assists, and eight steals per game when bam! Twisted ankles on both feet. I gave up on walking for a day. No rest for me though as I still ot racquetball class and intramural soccer to do. I'm stubborn.

It must be the time when I was around 5 or something, no older than 7.., and I was thirsty. So I go into the kitchen and see a soda. It's in a glass bottle. While trying to open it, I drop it and it splatters and I see blood flowing down my right leg..

When I was in 7th grade I got mad at my dad so I decided to slam my door shut. Bad idea. My finger was near the door hinges of the door, in a little crack that was left open. So I slamm that door and all I feel is pain. I open the door again and yank my finger out, good thing it was just the tip, and go into the bathroom and stand over the sink screaming because I hate the sight of blood.

My parents thought I was crazy so they continued eating their food and I had to wait until they were done so I could go to the doctor.

Oh man, that is so mean! Were they sorry when the found out something was wrong with you?

When I was about 24, I drove (back when I had my car) to the laundrymat after work. I was so exhausted from working that while the clothes were drying, I thought I'd take a little nap in the car. This was around 11pm. At about 2am, my family is banging on my car window. They were all scared and wondering if I was OK. I was completely out of it. I got out the car, remembered the clothes, and slammed the door.

Somehow the force of the door closing caught the entire tip of my pinky finger. Apparently when I did that, I cracked my finger in the middle down to the skin. It ended up turning purple. Instead of waiting for the nail to fall off so I could release the pressure of all the built-up blood, I got out a pair of nail clippers.... In one hour, I managed to clip off my entire pinky fingernail. It felt better, though. :)

The one time I finally decided to stand up for myself after years of bullying in high school, I got punched in the face and my nose broke. Not sure how painful it actually was, I just remember seeing lots of blood. No regrets to this day. And that's about the worse.

I also have a rather long scar on my left arm, as if I had tried to cut myself "down the highway", but I have absolutely no idea how/when I got this. But I'd imagine it must've been quite painful.

Funny thing, I jus had a lecture today given by an orthopedic and he was saying how ppl wud say to him "well doc, at least it was a clean break" and he said how he wud rather have a fracture where the bone didn't break off completely (greenstick fracture) than a clean break :p ... but back to the topic, i'm glad i've never had any fractures or dislocations :D but about a few years ago I was really prone to fainting if I stood too long and occasional chest pains where breathing somehow hurt a lot lasting for a good few minutes ... the doctor couldn't find a reason to explain it.... and I'm good at tripping when going UP the stairs and banging my leg real hard

I'm sure they must have felt bad for me...but they still wanted to eat their food. Then my dad gets out of his chair and asks, "Are you ready?"...

Well, gosh... another finger story.:ashamed: heh heh.
I'm not sure if how I'm reading it is making it sound worse in my mind or what I'm trying to see is correct... :doh:

One of my worst was when I was young.

I was riding my bike down a fast 45-degree road as a dare with my friends and turn right at the next intersection. And we drove down.

My other friends did fine when they turned, I wasn't. I drove straight through the rough roads and skinned my knee so badly that part of my leg bone was showing. It was a small scratch and with the bone visible, hurts yet feels numb as well.

I went home and was treated on the spot. I remember being in total pain whatsoever.

When was that? About 6 - 8 years old I think.

I don't usually get into too much pain, and never broke a bone, so I guess the most painfull thing would be getting ballsacked VERY hard. My friend thought it would be funny to kick me as hard as he could in the balls, I was rolling around for 10 minutes then just sort of lied there although I never puked. I have yet to kill his pet dogs:)

Recently I decided to cover my hand in body spray, and for some reason didn't put it out right away, keeping it lit for at least 10 seconds before trying to put it out, finding out it was harder than I expected bringing the grand total to 20-30 seconds. My hand is now blistered and covered in puss, and every once in awhile in school when I write one breaks and oozes on my pencil. It no longer hurst but it was a painful night...

I severely hyperextended my left knee when I was sixteen. I was playing football with some friends and I attempted to block the runner. In order to deflect the full force of his blow, I hunched down, knees bent. Sensing this, he tried to do a quick slide between my seperated legs for extra yardage.

We were playing in his side yard, near a gnarly, old red maple. Extending from the tree's base was a network of exposed roots which had been weathered and hardened over years.

During his slide, his right foot caught an exposed root and was unexpectedly cast upward. Carried by the full momentum of his run and slide, his foot plowed straight into my bent knee, causing the joint to invert itself. I remember it in slow-motion to this day; I stood there near helpless as I watched my own knee buckle underneath me.

The pain was excruciating. Hyperextension isn't as bad as a torn ACL but it's still pretty undesirable. In fact, the pain was so great that it became displaced and I threw up a minute later.

My friends carried me down the street to my house, where I put a shitload of ice on the injury and tried my best not to move ever again. Considering the type of injury, I should've gone to the E.R. but I didn't. I knew that if armed gunmen suddenly burst into the house and demanded I stand up fully, I could...maybe...for a second or two.

I could barely walk for two weeks and couldn't walk properly for two months. Luckily, this all happened during summer vacation, so I didn't miss school. But my boss at the Ponderosa Steakhouse was less than thrilled. I was the best busboy/dining room attendant the place had and my presence would be missed on busy nights. Even when I came back, it was extremely aggravating to haul full buspans to the back on a bum knee.

To this day, that knee still suffers repercussions from the injury. It's arthritic and has become a "trick knee". It can sense approaching storms since the barometric changes sometimes trigger pain. And kneeling on it for more than five minutes at a time caused the joint to lock up completely, requiring some hefty limping and brisk walking to loosen it up again.

I broke both bones in my right arm when I was 10, which hurt quite a bit, and I had to keep my arm in plaster for about a month or more. Later on, when I was around 15-16 I fell of a friends motorbike and broke my right foot. That really sucked, because I had to walk with a crutch for some time. It sucks walking with a crutch :(

That's about it. I also got blood poisoning last summer, but that didn't really hurt, just got a fever.

I broke my hand last year. It just sucked because it was right in the middle of the hand where the shattered two bones so it still hurts to this day when the weather is wonky.

I had to wear a cast for 4 months and I got boils on my fingers. Didn't smell too great either.

When I was 8 and lived in Mexico I used to ride my bike around the neighborhood. One day, in typical Mexican fashion, my bike turned up missing and I borrowed my cousin's bike. My cousin is left handed and reversed the brake levers on the handlebars. Let's just say that I didn't know how heavy I really was until I hit the concrete face first after flying off that bike. I lost 3 teeth and I dislocated my shoulder, which I hear is far more painful than breaking your bones. I've never had a broken bone, so I don't know if that's accurate.

After that I was cautious as hell. Then in middle school here in the states some gangster kid I mouthed off to (bad fucking idea, by the way) pulled a knife on me and tried to stick me in the shoulder. He missed, but he ended up cutting open a nice long gash instead. Last time I heard of that guy he was dead... Ironically enough, he was shanked while in juvenile hall. :/

hmmm my worst injury was in 1997 when i got hit by a car. i was crossing the street from dropping off my girlfriend (at the time) to her house and crossed in front of a school.... -.- i died for like a min or something like that... i almost lost my left leg and i still have severe nerve damage on the top part of my left Tibia down to my foot... i still dont have complete feeling there.. <.<' my right knee was messed up pretty bad also, and my hip was fractured. i had no brain damage or anything though but i have scars on various part of my body. including forehead, hip, right knee, chest, right arm and my left leg where the placed screws/rods in.. oh and my right femur has a rod in it or on it to reinforce it... i have to get it taken out one day, but hopefully not too soon... :p i might have got all the facts a bit messed up, but thats what i remember... the inicident was erased form my memory, and practically that whole day...just glad it was me, and not a small child from the elementary school across the street that wouldnt have been able to take a hit like that...

Thankfully the worst injury I've sustained to date is a couple of broken fingers. I've been pretty lucky all in all when I think about it.

When I was really small, I was playing around the stove and some boiling water fell on my face and into my eye. I'm guessing it was really painful, I don't remember it happening though.

I broke my arm when I was like...1 or 2 years old. I'll just assume that was the worst for me since something actually broke, but I can't remember a single thing. My cast is cute, so tiny.

My cat sliced up my chest about 10 years ago. He was lying on top of me and then these kids outside were rollerblading and started braking as if they were on ice. The noise scared the shit out of my cat, I was lucky that he didn't run over my face with his claws out. My dad nearly killed him when he saw how cut up I was (which made me feel even worse, so I snuck my cat lots of treats). It stung, I'm a pain wimp >.< Still got a scar right above my heart.

Since then, I've been relatively injury-free up until high school when I started playing soccer for school. Sprained my ankle, and got a concussion at one point. Good times.

The worse was when I broke my ankle back when I was 12 while jump roping....I landed wrong and all my weight came down on it. And now it's weak because even though I was in a cast for three weeks I walked on it not to mention that after I got the cast off, I kept running, spraining it (which kept fracturing it and I didn't even know.), and playing drums which made it not heal up properly....now it hurts every time it rains (not fun when you live in Washington state and it rains alot.)! Needless to say I haven't got anear a jump rope since....

The second worse one but not as bad as the first one was last year when I bent down to pick up my cat to give him food (We had a dog, so he had to eat on the counter) I ended up wacking my head on the counter. Now mind you that this was in the dark, in a house that was built in the 50s with original metal trimed countertops. At first it didn't hurt but the pain started to come very slowly I was holding my head and I could feel the blood. So I had to go to the hospital have it checked out, doctor said it was fine, put some neosporin on it and sent me home. Now everytime I get my eybrows waxed it hurts 10 times worse because of the scar.

My worst injury so far was a broken arm when I was 6. Ever since, no one can climb up the snow.. piles (?) at my school

What could have been my worst injury happened last summer. I was riding my bike (at night). I guess i wasn't watching in front, so i rolled on someone. HAdn't i worn a helmet, i was probable done for

Can't quite say I've had any crappy physical injuries, but recently I got a sprained ankle playing soccer. Not cool, seeing that it has been about two months and it still strains to stretch it as far as my other foot can.

OH yeah I forgot the time.... that I was driving my bike & I went over a stick... a piece broke off & it went into my leg...... real deep & it hurt like a MOFO, & as a kid you dont know to leave it is as a plug for the blood, I panicked & ripped it out.... had to go to the hospital for some blood, I lost quite a large amount! & the time I was on my swing set & I was going.... the chain broke & I flew off about like 4 feet off the ground, broke my arm..... It hurt.... LIEK hell!

Well, I once almost lose a finger. I was jumping around a glass table and fell over it, not nice. Also, at elementary school, I was run over by a kid who was like 3 years older then me. He was HUGE and I was so small I stroke the floor pretty hard. It shouldn't had been a problem if I had landed in my back or something, but I landed with my head first... I almost fainted because of that. The last one was when I was a young lad and broke my whristle. It was a long time ago so I don't remember exactly if it hurted or not, but I bet it did.

BUT, the most horrible pain I can remember (other than tooth pain) is that one time I was playing soccer and I slided to get the ball from a friend. I slided over a bunch of rocks and dirt and got my skin ripped off my leg... here are some pictures inc ase you want to see them:



It is true that it's not a serious lession, but god did that hurt... My skin is still a little sensitive because of that. :(

I've had a few pretty painful experiences. We have a fence of pine trees behind our house in the yard, and when I was about 12 I used to climb around in those things for fun. Decided to try and get higher up in the branches and go through the trees since they were close together. At about 30 feet off the ground, the branch I was on snapped and dropped me on every branch going down the tree which promptly broke under my weight. Knocked the wind out of me and nearly broke both my legs when I slammed them on the lowest branch which basically tried to bend them backwards. My parents were amazed I hadn't been killed because I landed on a nasty rock. Thankfully it didn't break anything in my back otherwise I could have been paralyzed.

Another painful memory would be when I was finished edging our lawn with our convertable tiller. I was changing out the blades and had to turn the machine around to do this. After a minute pulling the pins out and taking the blades off I smelled something burning, and when I looked I noticed that my knee was on the muffler and had singed off most of the skin over the bone. Thankfully it wasn't serious enough that I required going to the hospital, but I had to clean out the wound and keep it covered for over a few weeks while the skin regrew. It's never fun to smell your own flesh burning.

Alright, here we go.
When I was 5, like an idiot, I thought it would be cool to try and ride a bike on a log. Like balancing. Anyway, suffice it to say, I fell off, and a branch went partway through my leg. It left a huge gaping hole. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt until I went to feel my leg, then I realized there was some part of my leg missing. THEN it hurt like hell. I don't know what's in the roots of those trees in New Brunswick, but these were fucking strong branches.

I broke my right leg ice-skating when I was in 8th grade. It was my first time on the ice too...

Sprained my wrist while playing football with dad. Funny thing is, that was the last catch before we were going to go inside.

I haven't had many huge painful physical injuries. I used to be a person who would do extremely stupid things to their body, doing flips everywhere, jumping into things just to see what would happen, and really random things.

I think my worst physical injury though, was either one skates or from biking. With skating, I was going extremely fast down a ramp and didn't turn the sharp ass turn in time. I tried to stop myself from running into a pole, and when I tried, my hand bent back extremely fast and my body ran into it. That hurt pretty god damn bad and I couldn't lift anything with one of my hands for about a month.

Another time is when I was really young, just learning how to ride a bike. I saw all my friends doing these cool tricks, and being a young idiot. I tried to do the same, but instead of doing anything cool. My bike fell along with me and my entire knee was pure blood, all the way down to the middle of my shin. As a kid, that scared the HELL out of me, and hurt like crazy.

Injuries... meh. I don't recall breaking anything really. But pain however... yes, I'm an expert on pain when it comes to knowing how many painkillers are you taking is definitely a LOT of pain. At least on myself.

Anyway, as far as injuries go, I always pull calf muscles a LOT when I was a teen. I recall waking UP in the middle of the night wanting to scream and beat the fuck out of my leg as it was pulling. I remember vaguely that beating it did work at one time.

More recently, I had my back gave out, I would get up from a bent position looking like I'm still bent. Its just not fun at all. Its painful just to get back up from a bent position. And finally right now I'm going through something like someone mentioned earlier in this thread about a serious nerve damage in his left tibia that affects the entire left leg. Its my right leg that would feel this shooting pain from this inflamed nerve in my right butt cheek. Its not PAINFUL as a migraine but its certainly annoying. I'm still am not quite sure what happened, I assumed its because I started walking to work...

The worst i've had was a nail in the foot, then I got blood poisoning form it. And a really badly sprained ankle. I've never broke anything, so i'm pretty lucky that way I guess.

Nothing really serious here... fell out of a treehouse once and nearly broke both arms... got 3 stitches on my head because I guess it got torn by a nail on the way down.

The worst I've had are some pretty bad cuts, but not so bad that I was at risk for bleeding too much. I've sliced my hand open pretty much down to the muscle. I once stepped on the broken glass of an incandescent light bulb. It sliced through me so well I didn't even know I was leaving a trail of blood behind me.

Oh yeah... I just remembered one.

When I was maybe twelve, I sliced my right index finger just about down to the bone, on a sardine can.

Read my signature. It should it explain the story. Anyways, I suffered numerous gashes along my face and arms; all in all, I had to get numerous stitches (I forgot how many), and now I have a facial scar running from above my left eye to about the bridge of my nose.

I've also broken my foot, my collarbone, and both my wrists, all from skateboarding, one of my old hobbies. I've also had a bunch of other, various injuries due to my crazy antics.

I've only been injured twice, really. Once I got a piece of plastic light covering impaled through the palm of my right hand, and the other was a fucked-up op. on my lower back/upper ass.

Wanna see the scars?:biggrin:

Wow yeah that really does look horribly painful.

I haven't injured myself all that much. Once while biking though I ran into a concrete poll, and my hand gotta squished and it took a lot of skin off.

I broke my elbow in a few places, then the next day I came down with the flu, then the next day poison oak broke out, then the next day I got Chicken Pox. Having that stuff under the cast.... well it just sucks ass.

Well...besides being nutchecked by a gavil(that pain went away like 30 hours later) that was by far the most painful experinces i have ever had. But the worst physical injury i have ever had was...well um...I kinda have a tumor in the bone of my foot and well, i broke that bone, and well, kinda sorta broke the tumor too...then my foot swelled up to about 2X the size of normal, and i couldnt fit it into my shoes... yeah that was fun. living on the 4th floor of my dorm, on like the 3rd biggest college campus in the US(Next to US Air Accadimy(they count the runways too) and Texas Tech) having to gimp around on crushes SUCKS...
In case any of yall are worried(or celebrating) its benign meaning no cancer.

I've never broken anything but the worst injury I ever got was probably when I was about 4 or 5 and I went to a mountain creek park place to swim. I got in line to jump off the diving board and the boy in front of me jumped of backwards and did a flip. Being the impressionable young lad that I was I attempted to jump off backwards. I jumped away from the board but I didn't jump far enough and I ended up hitting my chin and busting it. I had to get stiches and had to stay out of the water for the majority of the summer.

Other than that the next worse was just when I climbed the monkey bars in the fourth grade and sat on top of them and I tried to move to the other side but I fell backwards and somehow landed on my wrist and sprained it for a good while but nothing a tight bandage didn't fix.

Wait, Aku, you thought you had foot cancer?

No, i dont, but i have a tumor, an irregulare growth in my foot o.O

That spot should be about 1/4 the size it is....
It split in 1/2 about 6 months ago, that was the last x-ray i got, showing no sign(that i can tell anyway) that anything is wrong, other than the big tumor there.

I don't know... When I hear tumor, I'm inclined to automatically relate it with some cancer.

I've had mild injuries compared to my family. The worst that has happened to me was when I was riding my bike my foot slipped and the bike pedal sliced off some of my skin. My dad has been pushed out a window,(not a basement window)pushed out a tree, & pushed off a roof. My little brother has a scar from sticking his hand under the stove when he was three. Also the other day my uncle sprained his knee from playing basketball.
