I play rugby, but have managed come away relatively unscathed. The worst injuries I've had are probably once where I dislocated my thumb and the tendon got caught in the joint (not painful, but took a while to fix), and once, after I got tackled, my leg seized up and I was unable to move it for hours whilst I was in excruciating pain.

Aside from that I've had the usual bumps and bruises, some of which have looked fairly horrid (getting a black eye from being stamped in the face, and a GIGANTIC split lip to name but two), but none of which have actually been terribly bad.

I used to play in the second row though, so now, because of that, I have long-term back problems, which is a bit of a bummer, but it doesn't stop me playing.
