What's the worst injury you've ever had?

[frorider6]

I was playing volleyball last October and I landed wrong after a spike. My foot popped completely off my ankle on the inside and stayed there. So I was on my back, leg straight out in front of me with my foot at a greater than 90 degree angle (sideways) to my ankle.

In between the grunts and yelling I was asking people if they had cameras. I damn well wanted a picture of it!!!! No dice.

At the hospital, the x-ray technician actually got ill looking at it. Then she called in the cleaning lady to look at it.

I spent 6 weeks in a hard cast, 6 weeks in a soft cast and tons of time in physical therapy. Every doctor I talked to said it was about the worst injury you could do because it was all soft tissue damage. No broken bones.

I was out of the gym for almost 5 months. Started back in Feb and I've put on 30 pounds.

My worst injury was a broken finger when I was a kid... I started daydreaming at the plate, waiting for the pitch, I think I was checking out some butterflies when this hardball crashed into my hand, crushing my knuckle between it and the bat. It was a great pitch, I should have been paying attention...

Racing Motocross,
I was going thru the inside line in a fast corner in kind of
a gully, there was a piece of snowfencing pipe sticking out and
I hit my head on it going prolly 35mph. Knocked me
the fuck OUT! For almost 2 days. Wanna talk whiplash???
That was 21yrs ago and I still get stiff necks and headaches
from it and probably will forever.

Dislocated my ankle when I was a kid...That looked the worse.. I just got through my second ACL reconstruction which keeps my from lifting legs heavy for a while

We should trade x-rays.

This all reminds me of that scene in "Jaws". For me, it was 3 slipped disks from doing heavy hacks & throwing my head back when I lifted the weight. All that weight on my shoulders, combined with the head whipping back threw out C5-C7. I could barely move for about a week, and spent most of that time in ice baths, on heavy doses of Heroin. Please spare me the druggie comments....you try to get a doctor to prescribe decent painkillers! Friggin Advil dont cut it when your in that much pain.

Were gonna need a bigger boat........

No doubt..I brok both bones in my leg also...Thats what I get though as I was trying to snowboard down stairs.

Had my knee scoped in June 2001. I had shredded the cartilage in my left knee. So much so the pieces had lodged behind my kneecap. I am SO glad I had the surgery. I missed my squats.

Ongoing injuries.....my 3 year old racking my nuts at least twice a day. Always the left one too.......grrrrrr

I was about 3 years old, sitting on my porch, waving goodbye to family members after some holiday, I dont quite remember. Anyway, I was sitting near and edge and ended up falling about 10 feet. I broke my right arm and right leg, and to make things worse, the doctor messed up when setting my arm, snd it began to heal badly, so it had to be re-broken and set correctly. Must have been painful, I dont really remember 16 years later.
