What's the worst you've ever been injured?

[vi edit]

?? Umm I'm sure it was horrible but I'll take that to broken bones any day.

I've only broke annoying to break bones...hands/arms/fingers/toes/collar bones. And none of them so severe that it required surgery/orthopedic intervention to correct. They suck when they happen. But usually don't bother you once you get the cast on. Well collar bones suck because you have harness...but I digress...it's really not that bad. Just annoying.

Those six hours with that freaking virus felt like a herd of razor blade covered rhinosorus were stampeeding out of any exit they could find. Nothing has humbled me in 32 years quite like that. I was so physically spent that I barely had enough energy to hold myself up to the toilet to puke. That's the only time that I can actually remember crying from physical misery.

When I was little I skinned up my face. Was knee boarding on a skate board and hit a section of sidewalk where one was higher than the other. The board stopped and I didn't.

Other than that, broke my collar bone in a motorcycle mishap, dislocated some toes in Tae Kwon Do, sprained my ankle walking down the stairs (thought I ws at the bottom when I wasn't).

Nothing major.

3 Days in the hospital, was riding wheelies like all day, yay it was so much fun and I was a badass, I half ass fell or whatever a few times, but it did not deter me. So yeah, riding one like 20 mph maybe, about a hundred feet riding it, just fell or something, got up, looked down and my knee was uhh, flapped down, I could see my bone, it was not a pleasant sight. I hobbled up to my house half bent over holding my knee, was like hey dad I think I need to go to the hospital, he washes my wound with the hose, seals it with some paper towel and duct tape, and we continue on to the hospital. I didn't cry until the assholes started cleaning it with salt water, the morphine was helpful. I had 2 cleanings and one sewing up after the second cleaning, it wasn't fun. Pic.

I could see my bone, it was this cut to the bone, my leg is numb from the cut down like 3 inches . I can walk fine and everything so I consider myself lucky, nothing was damaged except some nerves apparently.

Hmm I'm fairly lucky since I can't say that I've ever hurt myself too too badly, and I never broke a bone. I do recall a pretty nasty rollerblade accident as a kid, but it was not really all that bad. Most of my injuries involve me cutting myself. I was playing with an utility knife once as a kid and it slipped and sliced my thumb and gave it a mouth. Still got a scar from that. It was such a clean cut, and since it sliced in like a 10 degree angle it never went deep. It bleed like crazy though, and that flap of skin was all white until it healed back together. I was showing my friends and they were like "GROSS get that away!" was fun.

OH right, I was playing capture the flag once and was running fast and slipped on wet grass and I think my I fell on my wrist while it was bent the wrong way -it happened so fast it's hard to tell. My wrist was sprang and I had to go to the ER for an Xray just to make sure I did not break it, but I did not. They just told me to keep putting ice on it. For that whole week I could not apply any pressure on it.

broke my big toe.
had a benign tumor on my soft pallet that required surgery to remove.

I broke the right side of my pelvis into multiple pieces in a motorcycle highside. Only broken bones I've ever had! Hopefully it stays like that.

be careful how far you penetrate when you are doing it, sometimes you hit bone

Broke my neck diving and suffered a C5-C6 spinal cord injury. Now a high functioning, low level quadriplegic. Blew two vertebrae to shreds :-D

Yeah Buddy

seeing that x-ray is chilling, must be a tough thing to deal with.

 

[skyking]

bucket handle tear of the meniscus, got it fixed up with a *mostly* arthroscopic surgery.

That's what she said.

Seriously what is this in reply too?
