Probably not the most pleasant thing to try to remember, but what is your injury count to date? Bad cuts, bone breaks? Worse?

So far for me: 11 broken bones including a left clavicle, right ankle (x3), nose (x2), ribs (x3), left pinky finger, right pinky toe. One FBR in the left eye, both corneas burned from radiation, head stitched back together at age 4 and ear tube implants (surgery due to premature fallout). And of course more cuts and burns to count.
At age 28 I really don't want to keep adding to this!
 
Right ankle - annihilated every tendon on the inside of it. Would have much rather broken it.
Stitches in my chin, twice. I apparently had a habit of wanting to look where I was going as I went over the handlebars of my bike as a kid. Tuck n roll has prevented any further injury.
Right Knee - ACL, MCL, both meniscus
 
Torn tendons in right ankle in high school.
Smashed left hand about 10 years ago, still bothers me.
Had my left eardrum rebuilt twice
Huge polynoidal cyst removed from my back (that was the worst surgery, couldn't take shower for like 3 months and had to wash every morning with washcloth and wash my hair bending over the tub side).
And then the standard tonsils/adenoids/ear tubes things

And of course I am constantly cutting, bruising, or spraining something. :lol:
 
When I was younger I was always in a cast or stitches. Since I've gotten older (28) not so much. As long as you learn from those injuries it isn't all bad. One important lesson I learned was not to run in the grocery store parking lot in pouring down rain. I did a baseball slide under a moving grand Cherokee. Spent the rest of the summer in a cast for a fractured ankle after the front tire ran over my foot. Best part was that I didn't go to the hospital or doctor till the next day because I was at my gf house staying the night when I was supposed to be somewhere else. My mom was thrilled to take me to the hospital the next day when my gf's mom called her and told her what happened... Good times.
 
Nose.
Pinky finger.
Boxers fracture.
Broke out both front teeth.
Broke Toe.
Left ear drum rebuilt twice for me also and it's still perforated.
Herniated disc in back
 
3 words-----------spinal cord damage.
oncoming car turned left in front of me on my bike.
flew over the hood and landed in a seated position.
impact crushed t11 vertebrae like a soda can--some of the bone
busted out some busted in causing the cord to be damaged.
2 titainum rods, several screws and brackets, a bone graft and 16 years later i still
can't feel much below the waist but i can walk a short distance
and stand with the help of a cane.
want to know what spinal cord damage does to your
bowel and bladder control and sexual function?


well that was more than 3 words ---sorry.
 
wow, is there a limit to post length?
bones;
have broken every finger on both hands (only one thumb)
broken collar bone
compound fracture of the radius in my left arm
broken ribs
stitches;
50 in arm (from compound fracture)
10 next to my eye
12 in chin
40 in my head(lift fell during installation)
20 in my hand (fell out of tree and branch went in my wrist and out of my palm)
other;
back surgery to replace 2 disc
battery exploded in my face and lost vision for 3 weeks (was told i may be blind)
torn cornea
3 or 4 times with metal in the eye that had to be drilled
shot in the knee with a 22

i'm sure there's more that i'm not thinking of. i also haven't gotten stitches in over 20 years(unless it was accompanied by an ambulance ride) since i discovered the best use for crazy glue
 
Most recently, some cracked ribs from an unfortunate off road racing incident. (leave it at that please). Around 16 I tore the pectoral muscle from my rib cage and around 22 I crashed a forklift and had a dozen stitches in my face. A few decent blisters on my neck from a fire once made it rough to check the blind spot in the mirror too. I guess I've been pretty lucky after seeing some of the things you guys have broken.
 
Right Knee meniscus at 14
Right Knee round 1 (age 16) ACL, BOTH outer MCLs and 1 inner MCL
Left Knee (17) ACL 1 inner MCL
Right Knee round 2 (age 20) ACL all 4 MCL and the PCL joined the party this time. Broke the knee cap for fun with this one.

Right Tibia age 8

4 knuckles in my right hand.
More fingers and toes than I an count including 2 compound toe fractures in separate incidents.

Stitches...
Heck I can remember 5 incidents off hand ranging from 3 to 16...maybe more incidents.

Fun. priceless.
 
Pretty weak compared to most

Fractured upper humerus after landing on my arm when somebody took me out by a slide tackle in soccer (15 years old?)
Broke thumb and tore ligament after wrecking my 4 wheeler (27 years old)
 
Surprised but not surprising, the worst injury I've had to date happened about 2 1/2 years ago now. Car accident #5 put me in the hospital on the way to work. Got hit on the front corner of my Toyota Tacoma by an asian lady in a corolla. Horrible combination i know. Cracked two ribs and broke a nose but as a result of the whiplash it threw 12 vertebrae out of alignment in my upper back. Worst damage was in the T4-T5 area (which were nearly beside each other). Over two years later it still hurts everyday and has caused me to lose nearly an inch in height. Prolonged damage is by far the worst!

this sounds all to familiar. I used to skate too. Cause of about 60% of my mishaps lol
 
Man I must not be as accident prone as y'all or something.
The only bone I've broken aside from a couple fingers is my nose. I broke that by punching myself in the face when a bolt broke that I was trying to break loose. I make sure my face isint in the way when doing something like that now.
 
Most note worthy are my shoulders. Most people think I'm exaggerating, but I had around 75 to 90 shoulder dislocations before both shoulders were completely replaced (8 years of football). I had only 20% bone mass in my left shoulder and 45% in the right shoulder.

Brushing my teeth, shoulder dislocated. Putting on seatbelt, shoulder dislocated.


Since total reconstruction and replacement, I dislocate about once or twice a year (wake boarding mostly).


Most painful? Right shoulder dislocates while racing the KOH EMC. It slipped out AND under my 5 point harness and I couldn't get it back in. Nasty.

ok that last part made me cringe....
 
Broken back 3 times.
Once during a football game. Finished the Game.
Second and third during a car wreck (two places). walked away...lol, and into the hospital two days later.

My Shins feel like mtn ridges with all the chipped bone.

i have a high pain tolerance, i dont always notice my injuries. countless broken fingers and toes. Rib broken/bruised. nose broken (felt that one!!)

I will say this though. As im getting older im starting to feel a lot more of my bang ups. caught my lef on the end of the bed the other night walking through my room in the dark. HOLY F*@#!!!

almost barfed
 
I have nothing on you all.

Came down under 1/4 chute. Dark so I did not know till I hit the ground.

Blown up a few times in a few different places overseas.

Shit at and missed. Shot at and hit.

All of this was in the Army. Fun times. Would do it all again in a heartbeat.

And normal kid stuff back in the 60's / 70's.
 
Dang, I have nothing on you guys.

Torn ACL/MCL/ Meniscus in my right knee

Broken left ankle twice

Multiple broken toes

Torn biceps tendon 100% (nasty looking and six months later not fully healed)
 
Femurs and a few vertebrae are the only bones I haven't broken (everything else at least once)... Broke my hand at UT once during practice, my hand literally looked like silly putty, xrays looked like a jig saw puzzle. Dislocated my right hip twice. Dislocated my jaw a few times. Dislocated both shoulders on several occasions. I've probably had less than 100 stitches on my entire body. Completely tore my PCL, never had it repaired...luckily no other knee injuries. And luckily no compound fractures to date. All of mine have been football related, I can't think of a single time where I was injured from something non-football...knock on wood.
 
^^^ no joke! I thought I was a crash dummy, compared to some of these folks I feel like I gotta go do something dumb(er). Hopefully I'm done.
