Worst physical injuries

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!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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).

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

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.

I was speaking idiomatically.

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

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

How ya doing, buddy?

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 ... but back to the topic, i'm glad i've never had any fractures or dislocations 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 was speaking idiomatically.

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...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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.

FELIPE NO

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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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. :/

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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... 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...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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.

How ya doing, buddy?

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 was speaking idiomatically.

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.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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.

FELIPE NO

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

How ya doing, buddy?

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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!

How ya doing, buddy?
