The injury list

[RandyA]

I want to know how accident prone everyone is here. So make a list of your sports injuries...

bruised tailbone (snowboarding)
separated lung (?)
torn rotator cuff (football)
concussion (football)
3 broken ribs (snowboarding)
concussion (snowboarding)
dislocated hip (BMX riding)
2 broken noses (BMX riding)
broken ankle (football)
shin splints (cross country running)
concussion (cross country)
torn cartilage in hip (cross country)
2 more concussions (snowboarding)
4 concussions (BMX riding) I've had alot of concussions. I guess I use my head to break my falls
broken wrist (fruit bootin)
Well that's about all I can think of for now. The other half of the concussions I have received have all been work related... Matt Hoffman has had 32 concussions. So I don't feel as bad about my number.

1 broken Femur
5 broken Ribs
1 fractured Tibia
1 dislocated shoulder(same time and arm as Humerus and Ulna)

[clif45]

I figure i have broken my ankle about 1000 times(estiamte) because of a problem with an extra mass of bone in my ankles. Had to have surgery haloween and thanksgiving. Messed up most of my legs from having extremely flat feet(cartilage pretty much deterioriates at double the rate as normal) but had those surgeries in 2001ish. Fair amount of sprained ankles from paintball. Other then that i havent really messed p any parts of my body except for bruises and being sore from work.

EDIT: the ad at the top for me is got the injury stuff going on for it, Cracked ribs, spinal cord relief, pain relief. Kind of ironic.

Nope, I actually left a lot of other stuff out. Lets just say I had a very bad 5 day stretch while working for Uncle Sam.

Man do I got some stories of my fals and cuts, but no broken bones, or real "injuries". When I was 11 months old to the day, I went into the dishwasher as my mom was emptying it, and grabbed a glass cup. This was normal for me to play around with all the bowls, dishes cups and what not, so my mom thought nothing of it. No more then 30 seconds later, I trip and fall and the glass shatters. A piece of glass hit me right above my eye brow, and continued down my face, slicing it all up. The main cut starts a little above the center of my right eye brow, and moves down until it gets to my eye. A miracle happened that day, because the piece of glass litterally goes around my eye, making a semi circle scar around my eye, missing it by millimeters, but doesnt go much further down my face. The plastic surgeon did an amazing job with the stiches so the only real noticable part of the scar is around my eye brow. My mom told me he stopped counting the stiches after 200...

But a couple other falls/cuts-
I used to carry my bottle by just biting the nipple of it, and having it dangle from my mouth. Well, one day I fell, and the bottom of the bottle came up and smacked me in the head, so I have some what of a very small round shaped dent in my forehead from the bottom of the bottle, lol.

My friend and I were back in the woods behind my house where we paintball (not while paintballing though) and I fell on a rock, and it literally went right through my leg. The scar isnt like a pale white line like a normal scar, its a pink rectangle, about an inch and a half long, by a half of inch high. When I fell, I looked down at my leg, and theres a hole in it, the size of the scar I said above, and you could look right through it and see my bone, muscles, tendons, I dont know what they were in my leg. I damaged a nerve, because I lost all feeling in that part of my leg for quite some time, and am just getting the feeling back now after 2 years.

A long post, but, for not having any broken bones, or torn these, or fractured those, I do have my fair share of battle scars.

[Madman]

I pulled the tendons and ligaments in my left shoulder wrestling.

The tendons and ligaments in my right shoulder playing football.

Deep bone bruise a couple of months ago playing pick-up football. (I didnt have any strength in my arm for 3 months)

Shin splints from running.

Nose broken from fighting.

I may be the only person in the history of mankind to have broken my radius and ulna while playing with Green Army Men.
