    Worst: Walking on railings when I as 12, lost my balance and came down on my ballsack, black and blue for weeks, the upside was walking like John Wayne for a while, felt hard as nails, forgive the pun.

    Most memorable: Broke my wrist when I was 15, It looked like an S hook, and I tried to straighten it out not realising it was broke...

    [points to a scar on chest] Mary Ellen Moffat. She broke my heart.

    We're gonna need a bigger boat...

    Shoulder dislocation - 6 times. Last one was the worst cause it couldn't go back in and I had to go to the hospital.

    Got knocked down when I was 17 a week before Christmas dressed as an Elf, broke my pelvis, knee and ankle and managed to still get pissed for Christmas and don't remember much of the pain. Don't remember being on much pain relief.

    On the other hand two years ago had a trapped nerve in my neck which sent pain shooting down my arm, 6 weeks horrific pain, spent time on morphine, methadone, valium and other strong nerve blockers, all sorts, nothing got rid of the pain except lying in a very hot bath. Spent half the night most nights lying in the bath.

    Mental, don't know if it's because I was older or because it was nerve pain but I really wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Wanted to die for most of those 6 weeks.

    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 !!

    I think you should stop skiing :pac:


    Never broken a bone in my life myself so far.

    Torn ligaments in my ankles, that sucked.

    When I was messing around before with mates (we were 14 at the time), my mate closed the front door of the house on me and I went straight through a plate glass window at full pelt.

    30 stitches in 5 different places on my right arm.

    Nothing else really bar the usual sprains and aches.

    Oh and performing surgery on myself, I had a huge sty years ago, was causing me no end of trouble. Dettol, a knife and a lot of plasters later it was fixed. No scars either from that, impressed myself... wouldn't do it again though :pac:
