Worst injury you ever had?

[kilroy69 1,216]

I mean really folks. I had Bell's palsy when I was 7 after playing a game of tag with some other kids. I was running looking back and ran dead on into a tree. I knocked myself out and when I came to I could not control the left side of my face. When I smiled it was only a half smile. When I went to sleep one eye would stay open. It was nuts. I was in and out of the U. of M. all the time. Then it just....went away. Its caused by damage to the 7th cranial nerve which tends to happen when you hit a tree in full stride.

 

 

I also had the skin on my left index finger stripped to the bone from the knuckle down about a half an inch by quarter inch. I was 19 and working at a shop. I was sanding a part on an upright belt sander and I hit a rough spot in the part. It jumped up and before I knew it my hand was in the focking sander. I hit the cutoff swith pulled it out and there was just no skin there. It was the whitest white I have ever seen. I walked calmly over to the sink. Washed it with soap. Walked up up to my boss and said we have a problem. He put me in his truck and did 110 to the hospital. They took me in and did a skin graft from my upper left forearm to fill it in. Its on the inside of my finger so unless you are looking at that finger really well you would not be able to tell. I was lucky that there was no ligiment damage and that it could be repaired. The doc said it was a strange injury in that way. I was also lucky that I was in shock the ENTIRE time. I did not feel any pain till I got home from the hospital. I had to wear my arm in a sling for 2 weeks and keep my arm above my heart so the graft took. I had to sleep sitting up at an angle kinda. It was nuts.

I was hit in the face with a baseball bat, lost some teeth and broke my jaw, not a fun evening.

Dislocated my hip in a football game. I was a TE, but I got moved to RB because our 1RB got injured. Mine was much worse than his, I got carted off in a stretcher and ambulance. Couldn't move my leg. Got a shot of morphine (which was pretty sweet) and doc popped it back in.

Had the tip of penus cut off when I was only days old.

It was a Sunday, about 12:45 PM. I had settled into the La-Z-Boy recliner for more than 10 hrs of uninterrupted NFL goodness when my girlfriend's cat jumped onto the padded leather arm of the recliner and knocked the remote onto the floor. Carefully trying to balance a plate of BBQ chicken wings in my lap, I reached down and around blindly to grab the remote, when Snap! A pulled muscle just under the rib cage! I howled in pain. The girlfriend (who was busy baking me a batch of fresh brownies in the kitchen at the time) came running out to the den, and suggested that she take me to the doctor to have my ribs looked at. I gave her the Heisman and told her to find me a bottle of aspirin, a cold Newcastle out of the fridge, and to dropkick the cat into the bedroom and shut the door.

 

It took several Newcastles and more than a few aspirin, but I gutted out the day in the recliner, stopping only for bathroom breaks and to fire up the BBQ at dinner time.

All you had to do was leave the toilet seat down when you were finished, but nooooooooo.

I dislocated my shoulder and got two shots of morphine and they didn't help the pain at all. Just made me dizzy.

 

However, whatever they gave me before the ER resident (and former creepy high school classmate) popped my shoulder back in (and saw my boob) made me feel gooooooooooooooooooood.

I was driving an ATV in Mexico in the sand dunes. At the top of a hill, the path got too thin, and the ATV toppled over. I beat it down the hill and landed face first. The ATV then proceeded to tumble down the hill and land directly on my head.

 

I got several stitches, was in and out of consciousness, and my face was messed up. I was very lucky though, as it could've been 100 times worse. Plus, this was my senior trip in high school, and I got tons of sympathy ass.

severe concussion and separated shoulder after being picked up and piledrived in a parking lot. How I didn't break my neck I have no idea. I'm sure everyone here has that beat.

[Rybo5 0]

I've been very fortunate in terms of injury. The worst ones I can think of off the top of my head include:

 

-jammed fingers at various points in my life and once got a finger shut in a car door

 

-scrapes and bruises from various bicycle mishaps

 

-fell off a jungle gym onto my back and may have bruised my ribs at worst

 

-banged my head on a swing set pole and got a minor cut

[pimptastic69 0]

This happened to one of my friends in high school.

 

While riding an ATV, it started to tip so he put his foot down trying to stabilize it. The back wheel ran up his leg, then whipped his head to the ground. Leg was shattered, dislocated shoulder, fractured skull and fractured eye socket.

I was a goalie and we were playing a co-ed match against UCSB, a guy threw the ball and I went up to block it and it hit the bottom of my jaw sideways, throwing it out of alignment and tearing the connecting tissue. It was a borderline break, although my jaw did not have to be wired shut.

While ramp skating when I was 19 I was just doing a little grind on the coping, and my back foot slid off the board and planted on the vert portion of the ramp while the rest of my body kept going down. Broke my ankle so that the foot was facing the opposite direction. Didn't think it was so bad until, lying at the bottom of the ramp I looked at where my foot should be and noticed that it wasn't there. It hurt, but not like what was to come.

 

After a ride in the ambulance with my foot splinted backwards, I got some morphine then the doc pulled the foot out and rotated it the full 180 degrees back to the proper alignment. Unbelievablly painful, even with the morphine. Later they attached a metal plate with about 10 screws to my ankle. It remains there to this day...

All college fb injuies...Compound dislocation of my right index finger. Pretty gruesome, but no long term damage. I also broke my nose five times. After the first time they had to wait for the swelling to go down and then stuck the chop sticks up my nostrils to reset it. You're pretty much focked after the you break your nose one time. The fifth time it broke I swung around on a bar stool drunk and hit someones shoulder with my nose.

I have never broken a bone..Ive been hurt, but compared to this? why bother?...I played goal in ice hockey, took a slapper to the cup and it broke the cup..THAT hurt..but no true injury...it was always up and running..

 

all of these injuries are ones id hate to have..but your jaw one seems to be the worst..ANY shot to the head, i guess..

 

did this gave you bad headaches? blur your vision at all? or was it simply a smash to the jaw and no concussion-type deal also?...

 

anyway, this one has MY vote...

I turned to stone when I saw sawilson's picture.

[sawilson 1]

Lemme see in order of occurances:

 

-When I was born they had to break my collar bone to get me out

 

-When I was really young broke both my arms a couple months apart. First time hanging upside down on a porch. got that cast off and about a month later was doing the same thing on a bunk bed, broke the other.

 

-Got bercitis (sp?) in my knee in my late teens from skating too much as a young child. Had cotizone pills first, didn't work, cortizone shots directly into the knee next, didn't work, then had orthoscopic surgery and had my bersa (sp?) removed.

 

-Was playing tennis once with my ex. He hit the ball across the court and I ran to get it and focked up my ankle trying. It was the size literally of a baseball down towards my foot. Couldnt' wear a shoe for a long time, was on crutches and had to keep it elevated.

 

-Was trying to kill a bug on my living room window once with the bottom palm of my hand (focking alcohol) and my hand went right through. Cut my wrist about an inch and a half in length and almost all the way through. Had to have stitches inside and outside and still have nerve issues today.

I have constant neck pain and get migrains once a month, headaches usually 3-4 times week. They gave me pain killers in the beginning, but after 8 years I've learnt to deal with it and have sort of become use to the pain, I just get a lot of massages and live on alieve

[frank 2,276]

I gave her the Heisman

 

Is that a sex thing?

 

 

 

Also, I blocked a punt with my nads one time.

[TAS 2]

I've had several sports related injuries, but nothing hurts worse then a broken heart!

[galmgren 0]

Struck by lightning. Severe concussion, burns, collapsed lung, blown eardrum. Also stopped my heart for a bit.

[lagarzlebrew 0]

I caught my foot in a snowblower. It tore off my boot.

 

I was not hurt, but it was scary.

 

 

 

I had a buddy in school step in a bear trap. That had to be the worst thing I have ever seen.

 

Broken leg, 193 stiches.
