This topic is to say some injuries you've had and how bad they were.
For me I've broken my left arm twice, sprained my left wrist on my birthday, sprained and slightly broke my left pinkie, and most recently and I sprained my right foot. (I feel I injure myself to often) But when I broke my arm for the first time I broke both bones and my parents had to call 911. I was sleeping on the top bunk on my bunk bed and I began to sleepwalk and I fell off the bed. I was blacking out every 10 minutes every time I was somewhere else. I did this when I was 5 and I did it again a year later when I was 6. I am really unlucky

When I was 5 I cut my finger with a scissor for a really stupid reason. I had to get stitches and now I have a scar on my middle finger. Also I've burnt my pinkie multiple times while cooking.

I managed to sprain my ankle when I was in grade 6 or 7 (not sure) during a game of dodgeball. I actually can't remember it happening, so I asked one of my classmates who was fussing over me and she said there was a crack noise and then I was on the gym floor laughing my ass off. I was fine after a day or two.

I think it was in December 2009, Christmas Eve, when I got my right pinkie slammed on by/stuck in a loading dock at the grocery store I worked at. Very very painful, lots of bleeding. Oddly enough, the bone didn't break, but the nail had actually been torn off (though I didn't know until after the New Year when it easily and painlessly came off). Now, my pinkie is normal, except that I lost a little bit of feeling in it.

Last Thursday, July 26th, I hurt my back on the job. It was really painful and bad enough that I needed to push down on the belt loops of my shorts to stand up straight. Luckily there was a walk-in medical clinic just on the other side of the strip-mall. I was really worried that I had hurt my spine, but after the doctor did a few tests (it was entertaining and painful because I am ticklish) he found out that I had just pulled a muscle in my back. He prescribed some painkillers, gave me a note to stay off the job until Wednesday, and he wants to see me again this Tuesday. It's getting better.

I'm being a little paranoid this summer after by previous record:

2012: ???
2011: nothing
2010: Wisdom teeth out
2009: Nothing
2008: Fell off bike, broken arm
2007: Nothing
2006: Tried jumping a knee-high chain, failed, almost broken hip, in crutches for weeks
2005: Nothing
2004: Smashed in knee, multiple stitches needed
2003: Nothing
2002: Broken finger

I have noticed a pattern

Wow, you're about due
Though, I wouldn't say getting wisdom teeth removed counts as an injury, unless it happened outside a dentist's office.

I badly sprained both of my hands last year, but since my mom's a pharmacist, she got me these really good braces, which makes Kaiser Permanente braces look like shit. (Mostly because Kaiser's are shit.)

My wisdom holes got infected for a month, so I was tripping balls on Vicodin the whole time and wandering out into the streets in Waco.

The more I learn about your mom, FB... HNNNNNNG

i once got a paper cut and it hurt really bad.

My appendix exploded once.

Damnit, Ace. Quit being a pussy. A lot of other people have it worse. People like Kaxbe.

Laundry List--
Broken Wrist

Surgeries on ear:
ear tubes
repaired ear drum
cyst removal
hearing loss

both knees torn
cracked head open
corrective surgery on finger
broken nose

that's pretty much all I can think of.

Everyone Kaxbe has to have the worst injury. I've also been to the hospital about 17 times now

I hit the corner of my head on a coffee table when I was younger, left an eye scar.

Got kicked in the head by a soccer player, almost got a concussion.

Had to get my appendix removed.

Got my wisdom teeth out pretty recently, though that hardly counts. I should stop being such a pussy though, Kaxbe had it worse.

Septicemia from complications to Crohn's where my colon swelled shut.

Imagine the worst constipation you've ever had, now make it last a month.

I want to make a penis joke.... But I shall refrain from temptation...

I biked into a bush and got a bloody kneecap.
I ran down a hill and broke my arm.
My long hair got tangled in a one-rope swing which broke, and ripped out some hair. By the roots, though. No scalp damage, thank god
I had an infected splinter in the pad of my left foot. Fuck.
I have a bad back from bending over backwards too much. I'm not joking.
I sunburn easily. Hope I don't get skin cancer.

Not many injuries to speak of for me. Poked my eye once when I was 6 on a playset thing (took a couple weeks of wearing sunglasses and eyepatches to recover). Once managed to pull out my big toenail, though it wasn't painful oddly enough.

Oh lucky you. I didn't count it as an injury, but fuck does that hurt.

I broke my leg when I was 5.


.....That's it.

oh wow man, im so clumsy i've got a bunch of injuries. more than i can remember. so lets just go with what i remember from the bottom up. let's see i've broken multiple toes because i dont know how to jump apparently, broke my ankle the same way. i have multiple spots on my legs where i hit them so hard (usually falling off ladders and such) that i cant fell anything on the spots. just circles of scar tissue. next, i dont know why but i've got like six broken ribs on my left side where they curve in. i have no idea how that happened. there's this scar on my right shoulder where i got stabbed with a pen. my left elbow have a pretty big scar from when i crashed on my back and rolled down the hill. then there's the scars i have on my knuckles from that time i accidentally punched a lamp( breaking it and slicing my fist). finally there's the numerous blows to the head i've suffered over the years.
as you can see, im a very special boy.

Well today everyone I had more bad luck
My friend and I were throwing canned carbonated sodas into the street and watch them go boom. Mine had the top blow half off, I decided I was going to take it off. So when I pull the metal cuts into my thumb. Blood comes out right away and I needed to wash it off for 20 minutes before I got a band aid.

More like DeathfromStupidity.

I had a large pane of glass fall and shatter on my head when I was around 4 or 5. Sliced the roof of my skull. Had to get staples and have the glass removed.

Went head first into a rusty support bar holding up a trailer during a game of Hide and Go Seek when I was like 12 or 13. Wasn't that bad, but the headache and the blood pouring down my face said otherwise.

Got into a car accident a few months ago. I was a little banged up, but I should glad it didn't kill me.

I know I've had a few other things like getting punched in the dick three times in a row and crashing my bike a few times, but they're not worth mentioning.

Thanks wacko

I fell down the staircase at Jessie's uncle's apartment in Holland. I'd fall twice that distance gladly for another view of her body in night wear. <3

Jerk the man willing to hurt himself to look at ladies

Oh no. No no no. See, there's ladies and then there are women the curves of whose very bodies suggest evidence of a sentient, loving and omnipotent God.

That description alone got me all hot and bothered. Any woman matching that description is worth a broken limb or two.

Good point.....very good point...but we are off topic!!! What else have I done to myself.....Oh yeah..........
In 5th grade I would always ride my bike to school. Well one day I crashed and got a large flesh wound on my right knee/ kneecap. The next day I ride my back to school again but this time I crash about 20 feet away from where I crashed the other day. Also the flesh wound was on my left knee/ kneecap. Believe me it was a pain to move my legs at all for 2 weeks, it didn't fully heal after that it took a month and a half.

I broke my arm. The best way.

Reading a book.

Seriously.

See I was in the middle of reading Inkdeath and right when something exploded in the book my brother dropped a stool on the floor very loudly downstairs. Shook the whole attic. Freaked me out so I jumped up, except I had my legs twisted around the crossbar on the stupid chair so I fell. It wasn't that far so I stuck out an arm to keep my face from smashing into the floor and kept my place with my other hand. Unfortunately during this period of time I had stopped my intake of calcium as I was anorexic so my bones were pretty weak. I broke the ulna on impact and after my arm no longer supported my weight due to a bone being broken I rolled as my fall continued, making the upper half of my ulna force its way beautifully through the skin and snapping my radius. I was still in shock so... it didn't hurt. I was actually unusually calm. I looked over at my arm which was now tilted very unnaturally at a forty five degree angle and the bone protruding from it and thought "I need to get my parents up here to take me to the hospital... but they are busy and might not listen if I just call... what should I do so they know this is urgent? Oh! I know!" I then proceeded to scream at the top of my lungs.

At the hospital when the pain set in I remember saying over and over "I just want to sleep. Let me sleep. It'll stop hurting then so let me sleep." Over and over. They insisted on moving my arm around to take x-rays, tearing the skin around where my bone was poking out even more, and they did this without meds by the way. Very painful. Turns out I did a spot on job with my arm, the doctor couldn't set it. So I went home to sleep with some painkiller med and my arms wrapped tight in an ace bandage. I remember thinking it was cool that every time I moved I could feel my bones grinding against eachother. The novelty wore off when I had to try to sleep that way.

So, back again the next day for surgery, except even with my arm opened up like a peeled banana they still couldn't set my bones so they shoved some steel rods in to brace them. I was still a growing kid at the time (12) so after six months cast and only a month of freedom they had to remove the rods and put my arm back into a lovely cast. For another six months to strengthen the bones. I have a lovely scar. Its about a half inch thick and eight inches long as well as a two inch long scar on my elbow and wrist where the rods were put in and taken out. Thats the worst injury I've ever had. The end of tldr story.

When I was 4-5 years old I fell down an escalator and all the skin came off my left hand.

Fell off a tree as a kid and broke my right arm.

In order of ascending unpleasantness...

6. The random, often occurring feeling that my stomach is about to explode. I'm not fat or anything, so I'm not sure what happens. It's really unpleasant, but I've gotten used to it, so it doesn't hurt so much.
5. I broke my toe by accidentally kicking it against the wall (I used to be very clumsy)
4. I was running, then fell and slid two feet on the cement and scraped my elbow /hard/
3. I sprained my right ankle (tennis injury)
2. I sprained my left ankle (I jumped from 6 feet and landed wrong)
1. I got hit by a lacrosse ball in the, uh, balls. It was moving at what felt like 90 mph and I wasn't wearing a cup (it was gym class, so I didn't feel the need for one). Truly, there is few greater a pain. But it didn't last as long as the other injuries.

I dropped a TV on my big toe when I was 3 or 4. I also managed to get my eye scratched (physically scratched on the pupil) and had to wear an eyepatch for a month or two. And it wasn't the cool, pirate kind of eyepatch; no, it was a bigass, tumor-like white bandage. It was...bad. God, that was a miserable month...

One of my relatives was trying to open a plastic package with some huge scissors when he was a little kid. He slipped and made a MASSIVE slash right across his arm. We rushed him to the hospital. Made quite the scar...

Lux Aeterna's last incident reminded me of the one season when I played floor hockey. Now I was wearing a cup (this was in fact required), but on this particular night I'd forgotten to bring my shin pads. So of course, in the midst of the game I get slashed right on the shinbone. Oh God, that hurt so bad. I actually managed to carry on through the rest of the game, but when I got home, I found out my shin was bleeding. Had to apply ice and so forth to keep the swelling down. I was limping for the next few days.

I've twisted my ankle on many occasions, however my ankles are relatively flexible so I usually only have to suffer through a few minutes of pain and then I can carry on again.

I once smashed my knee open and cut down to the tendons in the least graceful way imaginable. Got a neat scar, though. This was the most major injury I've ever had.

I've also on several occasions gotten hit in the face or back of the head with various forms of sports equipment, including but not limited to baseballs, tennis balls, and soccer balls, but mostly dodgeballs and basketballs (one of several reason why I never liked PE). Although those don't really count as injuries as much as mild pain for a second or two.

Once cut my foot in several places. Hurt to walk a bit, but that wasn't major.

Chipped my teeth/smashed my face once, by being foolish and climbing slippery rocks when I was a child.

Also, I have an extremely high pain tolerance. I've always been good. Grateful for that.

I was climbing some rocks, you know how it goes, was pinching a crimp putting too much weight on it when the hold broke. I fell about 20 feet or so, and my right foot landed mostly off my crash pad. It broke my ankle, and to add insult to injury part of the hold landed on my head.

Here's some pictures of the wall just so you can get an idea.

I once broke my right radius near the beginning of sixth grade...


I am not even fucking kidding about this.

I fall over fucking constantly and I used to play rugby, but I've only ever broken one bone. And it didn't really break, I more just chipped my ankle. The moral of the story is drink yr milk.

My brother hit me atop my head with his teeth after bouncing off a trampoline. Lost a shit ton of blood and needed to be taken to a hospital. Had staples in my head for a few months to heal it.

Other than that, just about nothing. I've never broken a bone.

Hey I had that happen! Except mine also got infected so I had to put this goop in it daily... and my eyepatch did kinda look like a pirate patch... it was conical but black and silky...

Those three weeks every day at school I wore a pirate bandana that had skulls on it, hoop earings, and had a stuffed parrot pinned to my backpack and a few days my shoulder. Just for shits n giggles.

I was riding a 50 in shorts and a tank top and fell into a ditch filled with tumbleweeds, broke my left leg and shattered my right kneecap, dislocated my right arm and had a concussion.(Now that I look back on it, wearing a helmet and more than just shorts and a tank probably would've been a great idea...)

Stepping on a Lego while barefoot is 100000000000 times worse than that though

I've never had it that bad with injuries. The most I've had is that I've cracked my head open. I fell on a dresser putting a permenant dent in my forehead (you can clearly see it in pictures of me and in person). I've also fallen off a fence ripping a good chunk of skin off of my leg. That scar has faded but you can see it still.

Oh, you know what gets me the most? Stomach aches. They seriously make me want to die.

when I was seven I stuck my finger in a cigarette lighter by accident

(Que jerk calling me stupid)

I once put my finger in side a bag sealer. Burned like hell.

I burned the entire palm of my hand from the very tips of my fingers to the base of my wrist on the stove top element of an electric stove when I was 8 or 9. I had gotten up on the counter to get a glass from the cupboard, sat down on the edge to get down and had placed my right hand on the element to push myself off. Terribly painful. To this day, feeling any source of heat on the palms of both my hands makes me nervous (like holding a cup of coffee).

Also when I was about 5 or 6 I jumped from inside a minivan trunk and grabbed the trunk door handle, fell, and had the truck door slam on my forehead. Another time I hit my ankle into a cable box and cut it badly. Have a scar from that

That sucks Peturd

Something similar happened to me, I was trying to jam my crash pad into my over packed trunk, and I gave it one last hard push downward making the whole car move, but the trunk lid kept going and hit me in the back of the head, it knocked me out for about 15 seconds.

Just a few years ago I shot myself in the foot with a pellet gun. The bone in my middle toe was almost obliterated, and they couldn't find all of the pieces so when it was rebuilt it had gaps in it that took months to close up. I had two pins in my toe for three months and had to wear a special shoe the whole time.

The toe doesn't have full range of movement to this day.
