Injuries you have suffered!

[Q.]

Lucky for me I've only suffered a dozen or so concussions. Aside from the resulting migraines, violent outbursts, severe bouts of depression and virtually non-existent short-term memory, I'm just fine.

[valleys07]

At least 10 dislocations of the pinky finger on my left hand
Broken middle finger and ring finger on right hand
12 stitches in my lower lip and root canal treatment on my 2 front teeth
1x Dislocated knee
Multiple strains of ligaments on both ankles
Buldging S1 disc in lower back.

All injuries apart from the broken ring finger were courtesy of footy, the ring finger was broken at the top knuckle keeping in indoor cricket.

Fiddler crab syndrome in right arm.

Repetitive strain injury in right forearm and wrist.

I pretty much built the back building at Sportsmed!

and like me, that would make you part owner of a racing Porsche, who was your surgeon?

Ha, I had a knee recon there through that same surgeon! I reckon I must own the tyres.

Keene?

I reckon I've helped Dr Martin's kids through most of their schooling, due to the work I've put his way ...

Fiddler crab syndrome in right arm.

Repetitive strain injury in right forearm and wrist.

Can't believe that survived a Friday night.

Shame on you, safooty.

Broken finger - shut it in car door - age four
Broken toes - took spectacular tumble while going over my home-made obstacle course I'd created from Dad's empty beer cartons - age twelve
Knocked a chip out of my shin when I was about ten
Split head open by jumping off parents' bed into corner of night table - age five
Split chin open after falling off my friend's too-large bicycle - age eight
Chronic TMJ dysfunction the last two and a half years; it is now affecting my ears as well
Pulled own front teeth out when they were not ready, to get money from the tooth fairy - age seven
Apparently I split my bum open a little bit by taking a very large crap when I was a toddler, but I do not know if my parents were telling me a lie or not. They also told me that if I touched a moth's wings and rubbed it on my eyes, I'd go blind.
Third degree perineal tear after giving birth to my eldest (bet you're glad I told you that one)
Fractured eye socket - went down giant slide at St Kilda playground and a kid threw a chunk of ice at me - age eleven
Broken nose, twice - first time from faceplanting on to my bed, age eight; second time when loser boyfriend at the time threw a full can of Woodstock and cola at me, age seventeen
Various concussions, mainly from being unco but a couple from playing footy

I've managed to spread my injuries out fairly well over the years. Most stuff happened when I was a kid - being unco and adventurous is not a good combination.

[fish]

1x broken arm
3x broken fingers
1x broken toe
2x dislocated knee caps... The feeling when they go back into place is 1 of pure ecstasy
1x AC joint
Maybe 6 concussions or so

And that was all after a big night out at the casino

Concussion.

Back in the old days there would be a trainer under each arm running/dragging you off the oval.

At first you would drag your toes.

But then your legs would start to run to keep up with the trainers.

My old man used to tell me, get those legs pumping and you'll get the blood flowing back to your brain.

But raise one arm in the air to signal him I was OK.

[catchisthecry]

Broken hand
Broken finger
Broken ankle
Torn ligament ankle
Shin splints - now they are a bitch
couple of other 1-2 weekers

Broke both thumbs and most of fingers at different time, have dislocated all of them too (unco ruckman syndrome) .. Broken nose, perforated eardrum. Not a lot there though so consider myself to have had a good run with injuries considering I never busted an arm or leg or required an ACL reco, when they've been such common issues for so many people.

[pels]

Geez I thought I had some injuries, nothing compared to some of u guys

Torn ankle Ligaments
knee recon on both knees
torn medial ligament & cartilage in right knee
5 stitches to head and light concussion after heading the goal post

retired 10 years ago from soccer after too many injuries and just do running now

[fisho mcspaz]

Mr McSpaz's injuries are better than mine:

Broken fingers - eight of them, some of them more than once, and in several places
Broken collarbone
Dislocated elbow - his forearm ended up a good 15cm behind the upper arm, any more and it'd have probably gone through the skin or been dismembered altogether. Even the hospital staff were nearly sick when they saw it.
Ear torn in half from heading the goalpost, then torn in half again when he went to training three days after having it stitched up. This time the doctor glued it back together instead of stitching it, so he has a massive scar there now.
Concussions - only five that I know of. The last one caused him to spaz out under the fluoro lights at the supermarket deli the following day, and he ended up coming home with a kilo of cocktail franks, which he doesn't even like.
Torn calf muscle - played four quarters of footy with it, somehow escaped permanent damage
Broken nose - at least sixteen times. It breaks pretty easily. The last time it got broken it actually straightened out the crooked bit from the previous break, so we thought it wasn't a bad result.

You blokes are all a mess!!

Broken arm on play ground as a 10 year old. Right forearm.

Had a young family and decided to give footy away over cricket, helping that was a groin injury. A bursa, small pcoket of fluid right near where muscle joins bone high, and I mean high in my groin popped and left the tendon in my groin rubbing on bone. My last two years of footy left me with an ice pack on or near my bollocks most Saturday night - into Sunday mornings. The ultra-sound on that one is a story in itself... Right up behind my right....

"Retired" from footy in about 97-98 and went back to Lockleys around 02-03 for a fistful of games
Busted my nose coming out of a pack at the college old scholars up on Grand Junction Rd. Had an airy on the left kicking for goal when I went back out and knew my time was up, this time around.

Numerous dislocated fingers from footy and cricket. One middle finger playing mixed-6 pack indoor against the back net that a chick lofted back to me and I popped the finger inside out almost and knocked it up into the top corner of the net for a 12(?)...

My right pointer finger first knuckle is about 3 times the size of my left and aches like all hell when its cold.

Knocked out at Salisbury North (?) maybe...ran into the goal post. Out cold. Only concussion I've had.

Yatala is not a college.

[Dirko]

Couple of dislocated fingers...

Knocked out a couple of teeth from falling off my bike.

Cracked open my chin twice falling off the bike also....

Knocked myself out from getting thrown out of a sidecar whilst racing in a Enduro and catapulting through the air for around 5 meters. Bastard rider wanted to keep racing and I had no ******* idea where I was....

Twisted small bowel from motor bike racing...kidney belt wasn't done up properly.

Actually apart from things involving wheels I've been injury free!
