Worst injuries?

**Rhyfelwyr** · 05-25-2010, 23:46

Today my brother broke his arm at school, and it made me think of some of the injuries I've had throughout the years.

I never split my head like everyone in my class seemed to, but I did have some fairly nasty stuff. For example, when I was fighting with my other brother, he slammed a door on my toe and it made my toenail come off. And another time I was running back from school when I tripped and grinded the right side of my face along some gravel, left me with a big puss-sy (that spelling doesn't look right but I'm not putting it back to the way with the two s's and no hyphon) scab covering nearly half my face for ages. Also not very spectacular but I dislocated my arm once. The only bone I've ever broken was one near my thumb when it got trampled on. Plus I injured my neck once playing football, and that still flares up, I'll use it as my excuse for why I never made it to the big time...

So, any interesting stories of your injuries and how you got them?

One time I was doing a handstand on my own version of parallel bars. I could do it but couldn't keep my balance very long. One time as I tried to push myself out of a 90 degree arm bend, I lost all my strength. My arms were by my side and I fell square on my face. Needed stitches. Another time I punched a wall (it's a long story), mangled my hand, needed surgury and had a pin sticking out of my pinky knuckle for 5 weeks. It still occasionally aches to this day. Needless to say, that was enough to convince me to get my anger under control.

Never broke any bones, but about 10-11 years ago I busted my chin open and required something like 36 stitches (3 layers in total) to close it up. The scar's still there and still pretty big.

And, of course, countless dozens of shots to the balls coming from my four years as a camp counselor.

Grade III groin strain. Rushed into playing football when I wasn't quite fit yet. Possibly one of the most painful things I've experienced, like someone was stabbing my inner thigh with red hot pokers.

Ever fall on you tail bone? Now that hurts like heck! I couldn't sit or even lie down for weeks with out pain! Worse pain I ever known...

Broken six fingers broke my tibia broke my wrist broke my nose. Football and fighting mostly

I have a nasty scar on my leg. I got stabbed when I was younger by a friend when we were goofing off and he told me we should cauterize it and it would heal (needed stitches) I thought this was an awesome idea and he did it most painful experience of my life I threw up from stench. Its not really like a noticeable scar but I let it stand testament to my idiocy and obsession with medieval medicine and lifestyles

edit: and i still had to get stitches......... i hate stitches had quite a few of those.

I had that. I was playing football, and the ball truned out sturdier than my toenail. God, it hurt. For months it did, Until then, I had never really noticed just how often you bump your foot into something or just how often people step on your toes. Excruciating pain.

I also once broke a rib. On the dancefloor. While dancing. Alone.

No more breakdancing moves to impress (mostly imaginary) female spectators for Louis.

Managed to somewhat spectaculary fall down a set of stairs and crack my head open when I was 6, ironically it was in a soft padded play area

Also fallen off a few ladders and had a basketball demolish the nail on my right thumb

Jesus, all that ever happened to me was a hairline fracture in my right ring finger.

I guess I'm just coddled.

I broke my chin when I was 2 years old. My parents were taking out the old kitchen for a new one and I pulled myself up on the oven/stove. It fell on me and I had to eat through a straw for a few months. Not that I remember anything about it but I still cary the scar. My teeth are also somewhat crooked because of it.

Last year I chopped a it of my left index finger while chopping some fire wood. They sewed it back on in the emergency room so I no problems there. It was quite funny that the doctor was rambling about the chainsaw massacre movie while working on my finger. That and I heard a nurse talking about someone loosing a finger when I was waiting for the doctor.
