Worst injury you ever suffered?

[Giants Fan 85]

Broke my hand (metacarpal, boxers fracture), my wrist, roller skating and then about 1992 was the big one, where outside a bar I tried to lift 2 girls off the ground, and twisted my ankle, later found out I broke my fibula, and years later, I had herniated a disk in my lower back.

 

So, I've really got no choice. I have to stay at a minimum level of health, or I can't get out of bed. And it's degenrative, so the more I ignore it, the worse it will get. Been years since I had full bennys. I have no health care at all right now. Need dental work, mostly. Healthy as an ox. As long as I'm carefull with my back, and when it hurts I take it easy, I'm fine. I usually hafta lift something wrong to hurt it. No more jumps on my hardtail Fisher. A herniated disk is a permanent injury, sans surgery, and I don't need surgery. Just gotta be carefull. My old physical therapist said I had the tightest hamstrings she ever saw, I'm not very flexible, I hafta stretch. Quick sprint type, jokes aside. I'm too tense. My lower back is hard as a rock, all the time. Fat, thin or muscular.

 

I really gotta quit smoking too. Afraid I'll gain weight.

Self-inflicted razor blade across my wrist cut to where I could see my tendons move as I wiggled my fingers....also a 30lb plate fell off a dumbell and broke my nose while doing lying tri presses (the doc inserted the steel rood into my nasal cavity and yanked pretty hard to straighten it out...more to follow

I really gotta quit posting

 

 

yup

I got my nose broken the traditional way. Swung at a 6' 4" State Wrestling Champ ... and missed. Lotta blood. But the knife to the flesh near my right thumb cut a major artery. We are al used to bleeding a little bit, but when it's squirting on the ceiling ... that's a sign you need to go to the emergency room right away. I never went to a doctor for my broken nose. Never let someone hit me in the nose like that again either, no gloves .... and I'm a bleeder. Been caurterized, prolly needs to be reconstructed. Was never reset properly.

 

Worse, as I fell to the ground, on the 3rd floor of my fraternity, cupping the blood, gushing from my nose, he walked up and punched me in the temple, just for good measure, on my knees, and then ran away like a girl, "Look what you made me do!"

 

Poosay. Most punches don't phase me, but on my hands and knees, unguarded, after a broken nose, not even looking, to my temple. Never been knocked out. Far as I remember.

[RicemanX 20]

Nothing bad at all actually.

A few stingers and minor concussions playing football in high school

A few sprained ankles playing basketball

[rallo 136]

Nothing severe

 

Dislocated my shoulder in football

 

dislocated my pinky in basketball (this one hurt more than any ankle sprain or the sprained shoulder)

[Giants Fan 85]

Been hit with brass knuckles. I remember bleeding, and my friends say I fell down, but I don't remember falling down, I just remember backing away, going, "Whoa! Whoa!" and waving my arms in front of me like I didn't want to fight, and then I felt the blood drip down my face, and I got pissed off. Ended up going home and then to the hospital, because my Mom demanded it. Got like 15 stitches. Oh ... and the guy only had one arm.

 

But seriously .... I lived in New York for 10 years, and I only got pepper sprayed by transvestites in Chelsea one time. My youth in Arizona was much more dangerous.

[Giants Fan 85]

I know a dude, who was a BMX motorcycle racer, and he went over a jump, and he didn't realize his seat came off during the jump, and when he landed, the seat post went right up his ass.

 

Uh ... yeah, he was paralyzed for the rest of his life, and had a colostomy at 19.

[TommyGavin 790]

GFIAFP,

 

Do you actually know how many times you've been beat up? I've been in some heavy duty drug and booze related altercations, but I can count on one (1) hand the times I've been "beaten" - thumb doesnt count.

[Giants Fan 85]

In chronological order of legit ass kickings:

 

9th grade: Sean Bemis, 5th year Senior, big black dude started it. Ran into me in the hall between classes on purpose, but I told him off, and he hit me in the jaw ... I ended up in class, bleeding, and sent to the nurse. So, he ended up getting in trouble and I dropped the charges ... was an assault on a minor cause he was over 18.

 

10th Grade: A skinhead who was known as "A$$hole Bill" played a little trick on me. He knew my Mom was out of town, and told people there was a party at my house. Long story short, I got between him and some chick, and he just nailed me in the temple and I went down. Total sucker punch. And I started to get up, and I was gonna kick his ass, but it was all clear to me that he had come to piss on my territory in the "scene" and when he heled back his steel toes and said, "If you get up, I'll kick your teeth in." and the fact he left town the very next day ...... 'cause I had people that were gonna kill him.

 

By the start of my Junior year in HS, I was a white guy with a Mexican girlfriend .... and had won some fights .... full cred. Homey.

 

I'm Bario Sam Hughes ... Vato. Born and raised in the Old Pueblo.

 

Then I moved to New York.

Last Labor Day weekend I had a wedding to go to. I drank so much the bartender asked me if I had a wooden leg. Two days later I was in the emergency room w/a morphene drip for a kidney stone.

The brain hemorrhage your posts cause is pretty bad.

[NewbieJr 541]

I once jammed my finger during a summer league basketball game.

It was my middle finger. The next day. there was an ever-so-slight bruise on the inside of the second finger joint.

 

For our next game, I was going to tape it to my ring finger, but I changed my mind.

 

I think I kind of forgot about it after that.

 

I guess it wasn't so bad, now that I think about it.

[Giants Fan 85]

Did you get the foul?

[NewbieJr 541]

Did you get the foul?

No, I caught a teammate's pass wrong.

It's the internet .... if you lie a little ... nobody will know.

 

Did it hurt?

[CurlyNight 0]

Nearly was killed in a car accident over 20 years ago with my mama when a big ole Ford was doing 80mph in a 35mph zone and smashed into her little Dodge Colt at a stop light, making it look like someone crushed a pop can. It was so bad we made the news in the paper.

[surferskin 30]

i got this big crack in my ass...and it still hasn't healed yet.

[He Like Me 0]

I'm currently suffering from the same affliction that's been keeping Jamel Tinsley from playing most of this year........a really bad stuffy nose. It's brutal!

[NewbieJr 541]

It's the internet .... if you lie a little ... nobody will know.

 

Did it hurt?

True. Actually, I as playing against Michael Jordan in the McDonald's All America game and I went up to block his dunk and jammed my hand on the rim.

Worst Injury? Reading this thread...(or ANY of your threads, for that matter) :fy:

[cinciman7 2]

Abdominal tear!

Hurt for a solid 6 weeks.

And a sneeze.......YeeeeeeeeOoooow!

[hdaddy 18]

7 years old: playing first base in baseball game. wasn't paying attention, ground ball to second and I was still looking at home. ball hit me just below my right eye. no reaction from me but i heard the gasping of the people in the stands. turned out to be just a black eye. snap, crackle, pop? crackle

 

14 years old: playing center field and a fly ball starts to drift away from my reach. I make chase and go for a diving catch. Made the catch but at the same time ripped my glove off in agony only to see my thumb was now hanging from my hand. snap, crackle, pop? definately a snap

 

20 years old: at a hotel party with old high school friends. we are hanging out in the exterior stairwell drinking it up having a gayol' time when I notice two of my friends wrestling each other. i take a three point stance and then run full speed at them in hopes of slamming them both up against the wall. Unfortunately, I contacted them and they contacted the wall bouncing me back. I then lose balance near the stairwell and tumble to the bottom. Not noticing anything wrong I attempt to get up and can't use my right arm due to the pain (barely felt it because I was trashed but still couldn't use it). The two guys, still at the top of the stairs, stare at me and then start laughing and walk back inside the hotel. It took about 10 minutes for someone else to come out and convince them that I couldn't get up and I needed help to get to my feet. Finally, was taken to Halifax Medical Center (where Dale Earnhart died) where the doctor told me that I had a seperated shoulder. Three months of strength training and rehab to get back to 90%. Bone still is popped out of my shoulder to this day. snap, crackle, pop? bone out of position, popped out...therefore a pop.

Once I fell down the stairs, and my shoes fell off

:tumble, tumble, tumble: My SHOE! :tumble, tumble, tumble:

[Concrete Charlie 0]

received nunchucks upside the head in a scrap way way back when i thought i was tough: broken eye socket, fractured cheek, crushed sinuses back past me ear. didn't open my right eye for about a month. Probably came within an inch or two of having my lights turned off for good.

 

also had my knee destroyed playing football, all in one play: 3 ligaments, plenty of meniscus torn, bones fractured. Now i can't run hardly at all but i'm 51 years old so i couldn't care less

[shovelheadt 71]

Broke both collar bones bailing hay. Fell of the wagon, wagon wheel grabbed a hold of my foot/ankle pulling me under, front wheel of the trailing wagon rolled square over my chest. Both snaps were so loud, I thought I'd broke my neck. My brother's came running over and all I could say was "Don't focking touch me, don't focking touch me!"

 

You just don't realize how little you can do without a stable collar bone, let alone both. I went from 17 years old back to 7 months old in a blink of an eye. Nothing like your mom having to wipe your ass at age 17.

[EndGame 0]

Hmmm .. nothing bad. Never broken a bone (knocking wood furiously).

 

Lost a tooth: Little League when I was about 11 or 12. I was sliding head first into third. The third baseman was behind me instead of in front of me. The throw from the catcher nailed me in the mouth. Unfortunately I had braces at the time, so I also had six stiches.

 

Stinger due to minor separated shoulder: Hockey last season. I fell. Stupidly, I tried to play two days later, and aggrivated it. Fortunately, we had a layoff for a week or so after that game and it managed to heal up.

 

Sports hernia: Hockey last season (yeah .. bad season). I did it in a preseason scrimmage, which sucks because the damned thing hung around for the entire regular season. I never once made fun of Donovan McNabb last year. I don't know how he played at all with that thing.

 

Concussion: Hockey a couple of years back. I collided full speed with the biggest guy in any of the rink's leagues. He's about 6'4'' and about 275... solid as a rock. The best part is .. no joke .. his name is Stuart Little. It was a minor concussion, though. I saw stars and blacked out for a few seconds. My head was sore for a few days.

Bumps and bruises: Hockey this season. At one point, I took a slapshot to a different part of my right thigh in three straight games. By the time the string was broken, I had a deep bruise that wrapped all the way around my leg. Hurt to walk.

Worst Injury? Reading this thread...(or ANY of your threads, for that matter) :fy:

I gouged my eyes out shortly after engaging in that activity. That kinda hurt.

[CantTouchThis 23]

Worst??? I rarely get injured badly, i have strong bones for the most part.. Worst, probably a just recently known fracture of my tailbone. Fell at a Taco Bell on my way up north...when i was 8. I couldn't really sit, or stand, or lay for that matter, all vacation without being very uncomfortable. It lasted about 2 weeks, but, it healed really weird since we never checked it out, now it a problem area

 

After that, mainly small stuff, i have sprained my ankle about 100 times, not badly except once, have to be on crutches for a couple weeks. Dislocated three of my fingers when i was 9 when trying to catch a football. Right now, there is something wrong with my left forearm muscle, it is fine when doing nothing, but when lifting weights, it hurts like a biotch. I would think it's a pull, but, it feels a bit different, those you can ususally feel when doing nothing, of course, never pulled my forearm muscle before.

[joneo 558]

I will reiterate: I was trying to push a truck that was stuck . I was on the driver's side pushing from the rear. We were rocking the truck back and forth. The tail-gate gave loose and my thumb got chopped off in the tailgate. I am totally drunk as I try to explain this. sorry.

[ZeroTolerance 584]

I'll let my brother's record substitute for mine.

 

- Age 3: hit by a kid who had gotten his license that day and was doing 45 down side streets. Broken leg.

- Age 6: hernia surgery. The day he has his staples removed, he is in a car accident, hit by a woman who ran a red light. Several feet of intestines removed, head trauma, critical condition.

- Age 12: slips on a tennis ball, lands on the tennis ball with his crotch. After a couple days of excruciating pain, checks in to hospital with testicular torsion, loses his left testicle.

[jiujitsugod71 0]

Do hurt feeling count? I've had my feelings hurt alot.

[congressmanreality 1]

Lots of injuries....worst would depend on what you consider "worst" for example:

 

Broken Wrist (kinda hurt, but not to bad)

Broken Ribs (Didn't even know they were broken for a few hours..so very bearable)

Broken Sternum (again...didn't even know it was broken until the next morning when I was getting out of bed)

 

Broken Toe...now some would say...this is the least serious injury...but HOLY FOCKING COW BALLS, doesnt breaking your toe just hurt like hell.....I've broken my toe/foot several tiems and I'd much rather take any of the above mentioned injuries over the pain of a broke toe....AHHHHHHHHHHHH

[jiujitsugod71 0]

Broken ribs(football)

broken leg(motorcyle)

several sprained ankles and knees(martial arts)

broken hand boxers break(ignorance)

2 broken toes

broken finger

sprained wrist(falling off my garbage can while standing on top of it trying to smash it down to fit more in)

that was pretty embarising.

I would say the ribs hurt the most, every breathe I took for a month and a half hurt like a mofo!

Had my wrist cut that bad last may. Damn cousin droped a utlity knife on me from about 6 feet up. Lost about a pint of blood till Amhed got there and yes you could see the tendons also. Also totaled two ford tempo's back in my twentys. bounced off two trees in the first one and escaped with just simple whiplash. Second one a guy in a van hit me head on. my head cracked the hindshield and was picking glass out of my hair for days.

This is the kind of person who could have a compound fracture during a chess match. (sorry)
