Fell off my bike as a kid and had a huge cut across my chest.
hyperextension of my right (or was it left?) knee. Crutches for a month, everything cool after that.
Concussion – not so bad at the time…it’s the after effects that will kill you (mentally).
Two ruptured lumbar discs. A close second in terms of pain, gallbladder malfunction
A broken big toe when smashed into a chain-link fence via three wheeler. But that was the easy part, the painful part was having needles shoved in the bottom and top of the toe to numb it to pull the nail off.
I broke my foot after a fall from the monkey bars in 1st grade.
a few days after proposing to my fiance, i fell off a bike in france. got a concussion, two broken arms, and a lot of road rash. hospitalized for 3 days. had casts on my arms across both wrists and elbows, so i couldn’t even go #2 without help from my fiance … now that’s true love.
Up between a breaking the very tip of the bone in my index finger, or getting a concussion from running into the catcher while playing baseball. Pretty wimpy stories either way.
Broken leg.
Broken foot and arm
Broken wrist
Nail through my forearm after falling from a treehouse onto a board with a nail sticking up.
I was a M60 machine gunner for a combat MP unit back when the Army was still using M1A1 Jeeps (Think Rat Patrol). The M60 gunner rides standing up in the
jeep behind his weapon on the ready…
Well, our jeep drive nose first into a large hole or carter, causing the jeep to flip over.
This made me go face first to the butt stock of the M60 that was fully mounted on the
metal brace in the center of the jeep. Among other facial injuries, my nose was broken and smashed. In fact, the tip of my nose was touching the lower corner of my right eye. It was very painful and more so to reset!
I faceplanted into a 4×10″ speaker cabinet while roadie-ing once. I bled through the whole show!
Broken leg. Femur was shattered and twisted until it protruded from the skin in the front of my thigh.
what is the worst injury you’ve ever sustained?
A broken heart. My Highschool Girlfriend left me before College started.
Broken back
Some friends and I were coming home after a night on the town, we see a giant snowbank and decided to pay “king of the castle”. We all run up one side, pushing and shoving and we all end up falling off the steep back. Landed a bit weird and the next thing I know I’m waking up in the hospital the next morning with a broken femur. Got a titanium rod in there now, one day I hope to be entirely bionic.
once i broke my pinky finger
My worst injury was hitting a curb on a bicycle and flipping over onto the sidewalk. My left shoulder was dislocated behind my collar bone.
To add insult to injury my roommate was behind me and landed on top of me.
fell off a 90ft cliff and put a 6 inch crack in my iliac crest the big round bone in your ass
A crazy ex stabbed me in the back….literally. Four different wounds, fortunately she missed anything important.
Compared to the rest of the comments, a scratch. When I worked on a kitchen I accidentally rubbed my hand on a Saran wrap blade. That’s when those blades on the side of the box was basically a hacksaw blade. 8 stitches and the loss of feeling on the sidE of my ring finger.
I have broken my left leg at the ancle and 16 more places during a snowboarding accident! A frontal peace of my skull was also broken on the left side. it was a small peace but hey 😀 and 5 ribs were shattered 😀
Dislocated shoulder and broken arm caused by school thugs forty years ago. I found out last week the bone didn’t set properly (20 deg angle), and I’m probably in for more surgery soon. Rats.
landed on my coccyx from fairly high whilst snowboarding and couldn’t walk or sit down properly for about a month
Though i play american football for 7years , the worst thing happend to me was as i worked for a construction company, i steped on a nail and he came on my instep out…
A few weeks ago, while biking back from work, a guy in a van changed lane while talking on the cell phone hit me on the right shoulder. I was bruised but his window and the side mirror were gone, completely removed from the door. Commuting by bike in Mexico City is an extreme sport!
Broken shoulder while skiing.
the most painful thing i have ever had was Appendicitis
I opened my head twice or three times, and needed a lot of stitches.
I broke my arm when I was a kid when I fell off the monkey bars.
When i was really little, i was jumping on the bed, and despite my mother’s protest continued to do so. Shortly thereafter i fell off and hit my head on the dresser. Cracked it open and had to get staples. Fun times.
I hyperextended (bent the wrong way) my knee almost 45 degrees playing soccer. That took a while to heal. and was really painful.
Riding a bicycle barefoot and catching my big toe in the pedal cleat as it gound the pavement
Nothing much really even though I do lots of sports. I guess I’ve just been lucky… so far.
Torn rotator cuff thanks to my drunk/belligerent college roommate nearly pulling my arm out of its socket.
Ankle… 6 months to recover.
Dislocated shoulder in high school wrestling. Once it’s loose, it comes out easier and easier each time. Come out a total of eight times. Very unnatural feeling.
I once broke my foot while skateboarding, which convinced me to stop
A heavy person stepped on my foot when I was 12, and broke the sesamoid bones in my foot. Eleven years later the injury still plagues me and will forever, since I now have sesamoiditis. Doesn’t sound that bad at first, but it sucks!
never broke a bone, sprained wrist though
fell of the back of a truck and got a big road burn on my stomach and hands
when I was little, I drove my bike down hill straight into some other kid’s face.
while he had it easy with only minor head trauma, I broke two teeth on his head (and a bit of his head along) and to this day I lose a lot of money to my dentist…
How’s a broken neckbone?
I fell from my bike and landed on the edge of the sidewalk…
I shattered my right elbow three times within 4 years – always the right arm, I never sustained a single injury to my left arm…
I got the brain tumor after bad fall of the swings.
Sprained thumb during a high school basketball game.
My feelings got hurt (from not winning any of “The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” giveaways).
I’ve had a few things pop up, but melting most of the skin off my forearm with boiling coffee when I was a kid was probably the worst.
