Worst injury you've ever had?

DEFTLEFTHAND

I've had 4 major injuries, broken arm, broken leg, broken collarbone and broken ribs.

The arm and leg were no bother once they'd been set and put into caste.

The collarbone was brutal, broke it a botched rugby lineout. I was let go mid air and came crashing down on it. I remember I just used to lie flat down on my back in my bed in agony.

The worst ever though was the ribs. In constant pain and discomfort for 6 weeks. Painkillers barely dulled it. Then right at the end I got a massive chest infection, I thought I'd lung cancer at first it was so bad.

My worst injury is the one I am suffering from at that moment !!!
Broke my collor bone 5 times, my arm, nose three times, tore ligaments in my foot twice but the worst was a trapped nerve in my neck after a ski fall, the pain went down my arm, really really hurt !!

Are you Ruby Walsh, Davy Russell or just accident prone?

Jumped off a high wall when I was younger.
Landed on my feet, used the oul bend your knees to cushion the landing trick ......... only I had my tongue out for some reason , I walloped my Chin off my knee which in turn slammed my mouth shut.
I bit my tongue in half, front teeth went straight through. Tongue was only held together by either side of it.
Had it wired together for a long time.

Dislocated elbow.

Done both shoulders and have had a few broken bones. But good lord an elbow is not meant to dislocate.

7 or 8 weeks of the worst physio to get back from it too. Was taking painkillers to go to physio.

Did you really do this? What were the details behind it?

It's apparently one of the most painful injuries a man can suffer.

The lad never comes back fully right again I've heard.

She had braces...

It was not too sore at the start, after seeing the surgeon and getting it fixed it hurt like fook for weeks! My first **** felt like I was **** with my hands covers in ghost chilli sauce and sand!

It was never right to begin with, always bent to the left!

I remember a fella telling me yrs ago about breaking the lad during a session with his wife. He heard it crack and everything.

Passed out from the pain and woke up in hospital with a doctor telling him that he'd broken his penis. No words any man ever wants to hear.

Man said his equipment was never fully true again it. Still has issues to this day.

Broke the tibia in my right leg in a motorbike smash. They had to cut the fibula to allow the tibia to mend. Spent just over a year and a half on crutches and lost half an inch in the leg. That was not a good time for me.

No, that was the oul nails through the hands and feet thing.

I'm sure that stung a bit too.

24 times unfortunately came with a clamp to keep eye open then injections into pupils foot is ****ing worse though as it's uncertain I will still be able to walk when it's all over the injections and some surgery got me my sight back life can be so difficult sometimes.

I was hit by a car and knocked of my bicycle on 6th October. Broke my right collarbone. It seems to be very common, judging from the number of people I spoke to since who suffered the injury. That side of my chest area was an interesting mixture of purples and yellows for a few weeks. I am nearly back to full normal now, but it was mighty painful at the start.

I have nothing but praise for the treatment I got. I never knew about the resistance bands they use for physiotherapy. Great bit of kit.

3 broken ribs when I hit tarmac at a gallop from a horse . I break toes regularly - up to 8 breaks at this stage , I think . No especially sore if you strap them correctly - once it’s not a big toe .

I've had two that made me feel awful. One was recurrent eye erosion - a cut on my eye that healed to my eyelid when I slept so in the morning when I opened my eye the cut reopened, and my eye swelled shut and was really sensitive to light. Went to the eye hospital and they decided a bandage contact lens was the way to treat it so put this thick thing in my eye and said an appointment would come in two weeks...three weeks later I returned as I was crying green pus. The ophthalmologist bastard used a pair of tweezers to remove it. As it was pulled out there was a slurping noise and a big string of green pus followed. How I didn't projectile vomit I don't know.

Second is post-concussion syndrome and even after two years I am not back to what I was previously. The worst bit of the whole lot was sitting in A&E for 6-8 hours and watching the junkies shoot up in the ambulance bay then stagger in shouting "I've overdosed". The number of doctors to treat this one person put at least an hour onto the waiting time.

I've gotten the eye injections as well. Was putting up some old rusty shelving in a store room and turned up into one of the arms as I picked up a section of shelf so it tore across my eyeball. I thought the injections were fine though - head into a clamp, bright light and you just see the needle coming. The thought of it is the worst part, the injections themselves are fine.

I've broken ribs and toes as well but finger breaks are the worst IMO. All you can do is strap them and then proceed to bang the off just about every immovable object that you come across. Between that and trying to get into jeans pockets it's the most frustrating of the lot.

Out and out pain though is from the nerves in the back due to two discs that have all but disintegrated. When that kicks off it's serious medication and bed time. I've learned to manage it over time and get away with it most of the time but every now and then it decides to play games. Serious, serious pain.

Fractured c7? Neck Vertebrae, nerve damage, fractured ribs, broken finger.
Worst was standing on upturned plug then stepped back on LEGO and then hit my baby toe off the bed leg in one go:(

Most serious injury was definitely this one time when I did some serious damage to an artery in my arm, it was like something from a horror movie the way the blood was spurting out but obviously scarier coz it was real and it was my blood.

Was very lucky to be living very close to a hospital when it happened.

It wasn't a bit painful though, either when it happened or during the recovery. Childbirth, toothaches, eye infections, broken bones, even tattoos would all rate higher in terms of pain for me.

ANXIOUS

I've had a lot of sore injuries, the worst by far was concussion. At least with broken bones your given a recovery period. Concussion brought me to very dark places.

We subscribe to the same thread in the Diabetes Forum, you certainly do go through the mill. I hope 2019 finds you a little better.

I've had lots of broken bones thanks to years of Judo, riding motorbikes and generally being accident prone.

But fcuk diabetes puts you through the grinder alright.
