injurys

[dancynator]

i just broke my arm and i am wondering how bad i really got it. no hockey and football for 5 weeks and i still have to go to school.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

I broke my femur years ago playing hockey............that hurt like hell.

A few broken ribs..........not nearly as bad as the femur, but the one time I busted some ribs and had a cold at the same time. Didn't feel very good every time I sneezed and coughed.

[habernac]

blew the ACL in my right knee. About 7 times before I got my head out of my ass and had surgery. I still wish death on the two fudgers who laughed as I writhed on the ground the first time it happened.

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

Slit spinal cord and a significant concussion from hockey.

[peter12]

Broken right knee cap and badly spraining my left ACL and MCL. The left knee still dislocates from time to time.

[Patek23]

Shattered Knee cap, got stabbed (accidentaly), couple broken ribs and a whole lot a concussions

[metallicat]

Tore ligaments in my ankle water skiing.

[Mike F]

Yesterday I ripped one of my toenails off, root and all -- Not my only injury, but my most current

[calf]

Broken thumb from toboganning

various stitches from playing with knives, fighting with my brother, etc.

[flamingchina]

Broken collar bone, hurts cause you can't move at all for days and days afterwards.
also broken nose twice, leg, arm, and almost cut my thumb off.

[Tower]

I've pulled my groin a few times....

[Buff]

Buff's injury list:

Twice, I had stitches in my head after smashing into furniture while wrestling. Both times I was under 8 years old.

Another time, when I was 5, I had stitches in my cheek from a dog bite. (Apparently you don't pet a doberman, while he is watching somebody eat and getting food from that somebody)

3 injuries before the age of 8.

My next injury came when I was 16, in gym class. I was thrown awkwardly to the mat in Wrestling and bruised my shoulder blade. Could barely move my arm for a week and coughing and sneezing hurt like a SOB.

Sprained my ankle playing street hockey. It wasn't bad, I limped for a couple of weeks and could still feel pain for a couple of months, but I was out playing street hockey the next few days after heavily wrapping my ankle. I never said I was smart when I was younger.

Was injury free for a few years and then I sprained that same ankle again while at work. I missed a week of work, but it should've been 3 since I couldn't drive for 3 weeks after the injury. (and the doctor told me to stay off my feet for 3 weeks) It was a major sprain and I was still feeling pain/stiffness in my ankle 8 months after the incident

Then I was injury free for a couple of years, until about 1 year ago. I got a concussion. A mild concussion, but it was still a concussion. Playing ice hockey, I made a guy look like a fool, by stealing the puck from him as he was in the process of making me look like a fool by deking around me. I took the puck down the ice and scored a goal.

The next play he was mad and was going to steal the puck from me and score too. Well, he came right at me, determined to get the puck and we collided. I am so much taller than him that his head went straight into my chest and my jaw cracked on the top of his helmet. All the lines on the ice turned yellow for a fraction of a second... uh oh, I better get off the ice. I skated to the bench, I felt ok, the guys on the bench said I seem normal. So I continued to play. I got home and my wife could tell right away that I wasn't normal.

I went to work the next day and my boss could tell that I wasn't normal but I felt ok. It wasn't until after work that I felt the symptoms of the concussion. Nauseous and dizzy all the time, from doing such simple things. I couldn't even sing along to a song without getting nauseous. I was fine a week later, but didn't play in my weekly hockey game just as a precaution, and I didn't want to miss playing in the 'Dome for my first time, which occured a few days later. I probably shouldn't have played in the 'Dome. I had no legs, and was out of breath so easily. I got nauseous a few hours after the game too. That was the last of my symptoms and I've been injury free since.

All in all I've been lucky. With the exception of the concussion I've had non-scary injuries.

[FireFly]

Playing 'goalie' for my brother and neighbourhood kids, I took a slapshot to the face. This is why we wear helmets people! Boys don't listen to a 'no off the ice shots at me' rule!

Also, learning to skate, I tripped and fell on a huge chuck of ice a tore a hole in my chin.

These are probably the two reasons I don't play hockey....

[Reaper]

Worst Injury? Had to be tearing my MCL and spraining my ACL at the same time. After my episode of "Pretzel Leg" I was in pretty bad shape for a couple months.

[AC]

I severed my ACL. Not too bad I guess.

[Muta]

No broken bones, but developed an ulcer during exams last winter.

Also teared one of my tendons in my foot in last year of high school playing soccer. Stupid gopherholes!

Man, where do I start?

- Dislocated big toe (jammed it into the turf)
-major ligament damage to my right ankle (guy dove on it when I was kicking a ball out of bounds)
-Torn ACL, PCL, MCL of various degrees
-major muscle bruise in my hip and quad (almost as bad as a break), after crashing on the DH course at COP
- Collapsed lung and broken ribs (it was great fun when the lung reinflated and I got a cold, causing knife like chest pains whenever I coughed)
-broke both collarbones (one in hockey, one in rugby)
-spiral fracture of the humurous (snowboard crash)
-various ET fingers (mainly rugby/football related)
-about 4 concussions
-stitches in my head and eye (head to head rugby collisions)
-stitches in my arm after impaling myself on a tree (my only fishing injury!)
-whiplash (rugby)
-torn bursa on my elbow and my knee, one of which requireed surgery (rugby)
-deviated septum (fancy way of saying I broke my nose kneeboading) still can't breathe out of one side of it.
-broken scaphoid (wrist)

The moral of the story is don't play rugby if you want to be able to walk at 40.

Tron, the question becomes... after all that (and that is a pretty impressive list of injuries), was it worth it?

Out of all your injuries that is by far the funniest.

[duncan]

Torn quadricep, ACL, and Patella tendon from knee to thigh hit.

Torn rotator cuff twice.

A couple hundred stitches and two lost teeth
