What injuries, serious or trivial, have you sustained? I've been wounded so many time's I've actually lost count, but I have at least 30 scars on my body-mostly tiny ones on my limbs. Although, the skin on both my knees is actually scar tissue, and almost bone-white.
I frequently run into the kitchen bench and bruise my hips (they're the same height as it is) and my worst injury;
About three years ago I attempted a headstand on the couch, got stuck and twisted my neck around, just shy of snapping it. Ever since it's been stiff, sore and I can crack it whenever I feel like it. I think there's a torn ligament or fractured vertebrae in there somewhere.
I'm interested in how often others injured themselves 'cause I seem to do it on a daily basis :lol:

I've never broken, severed, squashed or wounded myself any more severely than a concussion, bump on the head (literally, golf ball sized), or a sprained ankle. Actually, one time I pulled a muscle in my neck and that was pretty scary/painful. Now that I think about it, it could've been worse. Hopefully nothing bad happens. >_>

Elphy board. For me though, excluding the muscles I pull standing up:

Broken Collarbone
Worst graze - knee scraped to kneecap
Several badly sprained ankles
Slipped kneecap
Sprained wrist bad enough to be almost broken

And people say netball is a soft sport...

Yeah. Elphy's gonna have us cringe while IBS indulges or something.

I had injuries having to do with a sprained back and painful but temporary paralysis and it all went untreated.

Oh wow Elph you are quite rough with yourself. And I thought my mum had a lot of injuries (she's had more then me, grew up on a farm.) I was cleaning a tin can a couple days ago and cut my fingers roughly four times. Strangely, none of them bled, despite being over a mm deep.
Oh, and I swear I've got arthritis. I'm cracking the joints of my fingers as I sit here.



My mum..

Has had a broken jaw
Has been charged by a goat, two wild boars and a horse
Fought off two snakes (one King Brown and one Taipan)
Nearly ripped her pinky finger off (hanging on by the bone)
Has been kicked by a horse
Has been in a car crash
I'm not even going to get started on everything else lol.

Not really. Never had a broken bone, but I HAVE almost drowned and fell headfirst off a bridge when I was young. I rarely cut myself or anything and I haven't tripped in a long time. (Besides that time when I was on the grass and it was slippery and I flipped over...)

During the ANZAC day long weekend, I spilt boiling water (straight from the kettle) on my hand. I treated it in cold water for an hour, and five hours later their was no evidence I'd ever burnt myself.

I broke my right forearm (clean break of both my ulna and radius) so they had to put in two seven pin plates on each bone. I ended up with radial nerve palsy because the orthopedic surgeon was a nub and I had to wait a whole three months until I could even do a thumbs up lol.
