Injuries

[uəʌəsʎɐɾ]

Right so here somewhere should be a pretty pathetic wound I aquired from messing around at the lagoon ('reey Hove) whilst drunk enough to like the taste of blood. There's a seawall with a lil' drop. The shard-like edge gave my hand a.. a parting gift. Left me with a scar that appears to make one of my lines continue right up my hand.

Another time the drop gave me several cuts on the inside of my left-ring finger which I SWEAR spelt "FIST".

Another drunken injury nvolved a lamp-post, my head and a borderline-potter scar. I am the lucky guy in my group, I only have one cigarette burn mark.

Aside from these drunken *ahem* 'escapades' I very rarely get injured. Only ever broken one finger bone and i can't remember how that was done. i was, like, 9 at the time.

yourselves? Feel free to tangenterise, digressitate, or even reply.

[Dieter]

I cut through the top of my left middle finger while cutting an apple with my new pocketknife.

Errr... I fell pretty hard once with my bike and opened just about every joint on my left side. Details are hazy though :)

I very rarely get injured.

[Charlie]

My tennis elbow is still playing up, ironically i got it from playing badminton and only hurts when I play tennis the same day as I play badminton....

Sore ankle as well for some reason, don't know what I did to it, it's fine to walk on though.

[EEVILMURRAY]

I have made craters in two fingers on my left hand from a slight mishap. I may show a picture but it's been recovering for a week so doesn't look half as impressive as it would've.

[uəʌəsʎɐɾ]

i have a lightning shaped scar on my forehead
We could be inter-related brothers who are somehow siblings through similar wounds! Like blood-brothers except we don't hve to be so emo and cut each other! Well obviously I'm Emo, but it rhymes with 'bro' so it's ok! yeah.

Yeah i'm going to go to bed.

[elniro]

i have a lightning shaped scar on my forehead

OMG HARRY POTTER IS HERE!!!

anyway i've never broken bones or fractured or anything serious. Most serious injury i ever had was when i accidentally kicked the sofa and my toenail came off lol.

[Tom]

i cut the side off my fingertip the other day peeling potatoes. there was a lot of blood for about a week, but then the doctor stuck it back on. hooray for doctors.
whilst i have had a multiude of injuries including some serious in have never had a gory injury :(

[JonSt]

The worst injury i have had was tearing my cruciate ligament in my right knee. Means i have to wear a knee brace when playing football. Was the most excruciating pain ive ever felt, had to have surgery as well.

[er-no]

Cracked ribcage - had a bicycle thrown at me when I was 12 and then cracked another rib when I was 15 whilst playing Rugby. Boy that guy was huge.

Permenately strained right lung - due to that bicycle hitting me, a small amount of my last rib on right hand side of the ribcage bent inwards, damaging my breathing. I can easily strain my lungs and then collapse finding it hard to breathe.

Broken wrist - Tried carrying someone on ice in canada, slipped and fell.. tried to support 25stone on one hand.. whole wrist hung from a few ligaments.

Cracked Left Kneecap - Shattered and chipped my left kneecap with the above fall. It doesn't look bad and Ive had so much worse, but I had my knee deflated.. kneejuice was everywhere and I feel unconscious and lost a lot of blood. The worst of them all in the short-term. Did I mention unbelievable pain. Wow.

Skull damage - jumped from a cliff in Newquay (where the bridge is) when I was 15. Went under the water into the sea and smacked my forehead on some rocks. Luckily regained consciousness quite quickly. Don't know how I smacked my forehead, there was no blood. Just a huge dent.

Broken nose x3 - Breaking it once is painful, twice is annoying. Three times means you need an operation to get it working again. Sadly the operation didnt work and my nose now bleeds at least once a day. One advantage is I can produce blood at any time and remove myself from any given situation. The disadvantage is I can hardly smell.. or breathe through my nose.

Disaligned my spine - just through a host of injuries, I had managed to make my back very weak and needed scans, physio and osteopathy to get it into a strong state again. I even have to use a medical mattress in my bed all the time. Which sucks.

Cracked my shinbone - Tried to jump a massive gap in a wall when I was 13 in North Wales. Didn't quite make it and my shin caught the full impact of flying Joby vs Concrete corner. This was probably the first cool injury. I recovered quickly... but for a few days I could see my shin bone if I removed the bandaging and splint.

Blinded by sand - sadly, due to a dare with a laser pen and on a seperate occasion a sand fight.. I have damaged my eyesight... I now wear glasses... but its not too bad, I'm not blind or anything.

Those are probably the main injuries - there are a lot more, I get fresh cuts and scars nearly every week. Sometimes I wake up and find a new one and don't really understand how it got there. I could add many more to the list, including a ripped ear, broken toes and fingers, a torn quad muscle (nearly all the muscle was torn! sweeeet). Ive had lots of MRI scans, they are scary and plenty of X-Rays in many different countries!

The list could go on. You get the idea. Touch me, I'll break.

Health insurance anyone?

[Stewilo2005]

Never really had any serious injuries. No broken bones or anything. Only cuts or scrapes. I remember about 8 years ago, i was on a metal slide at the park and when i went down my head flew back and wacked on the bend of the slide. (at the top), my head was pouring with blood. Also the other day i was running along the canal and tripped forwards, my knees scraped along the floor and my pants ripped at the knees, i was in a hurry so it took me about half an hour to realise that my knees where bleeding a lot. oh yea and i was using one of those v slicers a few weeks ago and i accidently sliced through my thumb(about a 1/4 of the way) it's healed now but i think that my body has healed it strangely as i can pull the skin apart where it sliced, but there is no blood, just healed skin.

In breif here are my injuries:

Broke both my legs after being pushed out of a tree.

Got my finger severed off after my brother thought it was funny to put my finger in a rusty wheel barrel wheel... then moving it.

Fractured my skull twice, thankfully i was young at the time and no major damage was caused... this was again done by my older brother.

Broke my arm after been thrown down a flight of stairs by my older sister... that one wasn't fun.

Currently, my jaw is totally fucked. Everytime i yawn or eat something tough it gives me a really bad pain on the top left bit.

[RoadKill]

I dunno, not much.

Never broken a bone.

[Dante]

Same here as RoadKill

[uncle_buckman]

Is the Lagoon better than Brighton beach?

[#1cubeplayer]

er-no's post made me cringe too much.

I've fractured my elbow and my wrist and some other bone inbetween. The wrist was refractured while in the cast. Once I busted my head open, too. This and jamming a nail into my palm are pretty much it.

[Eenuh]

Just suffer from back pains from time to time (had to quit my summer job because of it; no money for me now...). Apart from that, I'm pretty much okay on the health department. Never really had anything worse than cuts and bruises and the like I think (even though I've fallen off stuff millions of times, especially as a kid). Wheeeee. ='3

[Sexual Chocolate]

Nothing much few scars and what not from football, I do have a clump of bone on one side of my ribcage which sticks out about 1 CM from the other side.

[Haden]

I have a really cool scar on my left eyebrow. I always get ladies asking me "how did you get that?" And like any gentlemen I lie and tell them I got it from defending some poor single mother from a chav beatdown. Of course the real truth is that I was 5 playing superman with my Dad. I was superman he was a villan, I ran towards him and jumped at him. He cowardly dived out the way leaving me to fly into a wooden chair leg and smash my head open. Oh and also the good thing was that day was children in need or the one with pugsy on and I had a band around my head just like him! And it was nearly my bday, good memories.

[Cheapshot]

Broke my ankle skateboarding, couldn't walk properly for months. :(

[Ramar]

My worst injury was acquired during a football match. It was my first game for my new team, and it was five minutes into the match, our striker breaks clear, keeper comes out keeper half saves it but the ball goes under him, I run and tap it in. Just as I kick the ball this 20 stone guy (we later nicknamed the Human Train and Odd Job). Tackles me from behind. According to friends on the team and my brother watching the match, I flew a few feet in the air. I landed on my back, pretty hard. I got up and I was bit dazed, but then there was an almighty pain in my groin and lower back.. To shorten this story, I couldn't walk for 3 days, and couldn't walk properly for 2 weeks.

I've also broken my arm, and had shin splints. But they were nothing compared to not being able to walk.

Is the Lagoon better than Brighton beach?
Depends on what sense you mean 'better'... Personally I don't see the appeal of brighton beaches. They're cool on summer nights when usually you'll find some dudes with a fire who'll welcome you into their circle (complete with food!) but during the day they're overpopulated and windy.

The lagoon is scarcely visited really; you'll get about a person every ten minutes while you sit on teh green drinking with pals. If you use your imagination there's a hell of a lot of stuff to do there, too. We usually sit diagonally opposite the park itself, but we've hung out in bushes, under pavillions, behind huts, by teh electric thing... Plus there's hove beaches right by the lagoon and they're awesome too due to lack of people. A stones-throw away you have the 'rocks' which provide entertainment and shelter.

The main reason teh lagoon is so good is because of its proximity to where we all live. You uni peeps might not deem it worthy to trek out here and then have to go home again.

Wow that's a big off-topic post there..

BACK TO THE POINT!

Er-no, your list scares me. If it was me I would have not done any more jumping off/into things after about teh second injury.

I forgot to mention I have three chipped teeth. Not that anyone will actually read this. Fuckers.

Aye, I've had the same type of injury while playing but some guy swiped my legs as I turned him which lead to me lying flat on my back writhing in pain. Was a hobbler for a week and then it just hurt whenever I tried to do something flexible with my back like a forward roll for a month.. :(

[Raining_again]

i slashed my middle finger quite badly off a can of coke and it goes numb a lot, have a really weird curved white scar.

burnt my arm really bad with the iron (ouch!) still got the scar although its very small

i also had 4 slipped discs when i was 16. got off almost 2 months school (missed mock exams tho) my back still gives me bother now after nearly 4 years, i dont think my muscles will ever recover, the slightest touch makes me jump a mile!

broke my smallest finger, it was slammed in a gate when i was about 6 y/o. kinna surprised i havent got more cause i can be a klutz sometimes :heh:


oooo and Stewilo2005, your sig rocks dude!!!! :D squirelly wrath!!

[Blackfox]

Jeez, er-no and Jordan have really been in the wars.

I haven't really done much, scraped my knees lots when i was a kid. Althoguh i did get hospitalised with stomach problems. Ouch.

[dukkadukka]

I forgot to mention I have three chipped teeth. Not that anyone will actually read this. Fuckers.
i did :) i've never really broken any bones, but last night i went out and grazed my hands and my lower back. in my drunken state i thought it'd be fun to do a cartwheel in my heels, i was wrong *shame*

[Raining_again]

ahhh dukka u crazy girl! heels + drunk = fall on arse :heh:

[Stefkov]

i went over the handlebars on my bike, knocked out my two front teeth, the two teeth next to it were unharmed, but the ones next to them were bent backwards like 45 degrees. i needed stitching on the inside of my upper lip, and a little bit on the top of my nose. annd my face was battered, grazes all on the left side of my face. my teeth i lost were put back in, and i had root canal surgery. so i have no feeling in those teeth, then after 5-10 years they wil fall out and ill dentures. hmm dentured at 25.

oh and i wasnt drunk, i dont like drinking. i like watching my friends make asses of themselves.

[kopo]

Run over by a truck when i was 7. Dead.



But seriously. Fell of my bike (which had this fucking awesome torpedo brakes) when i was a kid, twice i think. The 'road' was just a collection of little stones with very sharp edges, leaving a gaping whole in my leg and knee.
Jumped of the occasional roof and slammed my tongue.
And then there's the cuts everywhere, it just happend whenever i have a knife in my hands, or even in a 2m radius of a knife.
And of course the scraping, little wounds, and trips when i was a kid.



I'm unbreakable!

[Herr Dark Wolf]

I'd hate to have this injury: http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1544207.html?menu=

[link64uk]

i've hurt my shoulder bargin in to someone still aches now after 6 years i also popped the bone between the knee and ur calf bone out and that is rather uncomfortable at times and hurts like hell other times did that trippin over a basketball and smashing my knee in to the hard sports hall floor

[er-no]

I've had E Coli poisoning recently.
And my FRICKING GAWD.
Forget the fact I couldnt walk for six months. Three days with severe E Coli nearly killed me through pain.

. Don't go eating bad meat.

[Rico]

I fell down the stairs when my parents were on holdiay and banged my head on the clay pig that we keep there. I woke up the next day, very hungry. Was a funny story actually.

[Offerman]

75% English, and 25% Indian. I don't really have dark skin at all though.

You poor lad, it must have really hurt.

That's cleared things up a little. It's sunny today so I might take a trip down there later.

[Noodleman]

I have a scar down the whole of my right forearm after a drunken incident involving a river a couple of years back. Never broken a bone in my body although I tore my ankle ligaments playing football at school years ago and even now it ocasionaly goes again resulting in me not being able to walk for a day or two.

[Platty]

the only injury ive ever had are football related.... ive pulled my right hamstring twice, once while running and once when kicking the ball....i should have warmed up.

the other injury is an almost broken ankle, i couldnt walk on it for ages, wasnt broken but badly bruised! however i can still click it now but i get told off when showing my party piece to people cos they say ill get artheritus (spelling)

[Pit-Jr]

Me and about 5 other ppl were standing on a floating pier, taking turns on jet skis. All of sudden i hear the sound of splintering wood and BOOM , the pier collapses. The others manage to jump out but i foolishly grabbed the rail, which then snapped in 2. My arm, from wrist to shoulder was covered in wet splinters and blood blisters.
Moral: If it looks rotten, it probably is.

[GoonFace]

When I was four, I fell off my bike and landed into a rose bush. I have a million scars on my back and a really annoying large dark patch of skin at the bottom of my back.

[weeyellowbloke]

Got hit by a car about a year- year and a half ago. Luckily it was outside a hospital and the car wasn't going to fast, managed to get away with a few stiches about the place.

[Oli1983uk]

I fell down the stair when i was littleand hit my head on a table which sliced open the back of my head. I nearly broke my ankle when I was at school tripped on a step that was about 2 inchs high, couldnt walk on it for about a month. Also while playing in greenwich park I fell off one of the cannons and hit my chin on the floor which made my bottom front end up going into my top lip.

My most recent was at work where I holding a bolt waiting for some set to be moved so I could put it in but instead a bloke wacked the bolt with a 12.5 kilo stage weight with my finger still there, it didnt hurt but it did split my finger open at the end and now I have a S shaped scare on the end of my finger.

Never broken a bone yet (touch wood) Joby u have some major injuries man!

[Shorty]

I put my fist through a window and could see my bone and muscle, there was a LOT of blood. I was... not in a fit state of mind at the time... and I had to wander accross a wet muddy recently plowed field to knock on the door of the house of someone I barely knew for some 'first aid'.

[Charlie]

the other injury is an almost broken ankle, i couldnt walk on it for ages, wasnt broken but badly bruised! however i can still click it now but i get told off when showing my party piece to people cos they say ill get artheritus (spelling)

Not true, according to my student planner and old biology teacher. All it is is a fluid moving from one space to the other and makes a popping sound for some reason (can't remember why - I didn't like biology).

[Big Red]

I DO LOVE KNIVES I DO but they always have a tendancey of atackin me, even metale poles as well, i mean whats going on at first it was just an occupational hazerd workin in a kitchen but i stoped that and i still wake up in all kinds of a mess but i think it may be the pirate is to blame but then i do like to climbe things so also could be a reason,(the more u climbe the more likley u are to fall)but very woryin i have never broken a bone well iv never been in enough pain to go to the hospital
or like going there so i dont no (broken bones with the exception of fingers toes nuckles)there not big enough. but i have seen my inners more times than hot dinners

[Raining_again]

i injured my brain reading that! :heh: haha im only kiddin, tho a little help with some commas & full stops wouldnt go amiss.

[Arragaun]

Not true, according to my student planner and old biology teacher. All it is is a fluid moving from one space to the other and makes a popping sound for some reason (can't remember why - I didn't like biology).
I think it's sinuvial fluid, and I heard that it's a misconception that it doesn't give you arthiritiusiolia. I hope it's not bad for you, I click all over the show.
