Worst injury you have suffered.

I broke my metatarsal when I was 3. The country came to a standstill in mourning. You might see it on Reeling in the Years.

Also broke my tibia playing football nearly a year ago.

I had the nails of my middle and ring finger ripped out right from the roots and left hanging by a tiny bit of skin at the end.

More than a little bit painful tbh.

jebus :eek:

My left hand got stuck to the front of the gas heaters (super ser me thinks they're called?) when i was about 2 or 3...the skin melted into the front of it and my hand got stuck...left palm still scarred from it!

Dislocated my elbow running across the road in the rain. Taxi reversed in front of me, ttried to move out of his way and slipped on the wet tarmac.

My radius and ulna were left about halfway up my humerus. Wasn't funny. lol

Seriously thogh, that was pretty nasty. 3 weeks out of work, 5 months in a sling, 6 months physio afterwards.

Cuddlesworth · 13-03-2009 05:08PM

Nothing yet, but I've started driving a motorbike so I'll be back here in a month or two.

irishgrover · 13-03-2009 05:23PM

I broke my left collar bone one and right one twice, at different times, palying sports, messing around.
fractured my skull, falling off a bike when a kid.
broke a rib (someone punched me)
but most painful was tearing ligaments on left ankle (football)...

...however funniest was my brother...
he shared a house with two girls and was leaving for work one morning. Was closing the front door (big old door) by giving it a big pull / slamming it. He realized he forgot his keys, made a grad for the door, but too late. The door closed fully, cutting off the top of his middle finger. However it remained attached to the rest of his figure with bits of flesh, skin etc etc, but inside the closed door. So now he was stuck. He rang the bell, whilst screaming, his hose mate came down, reached to open the door and saw the blood and dangling finger and fainted. He continued to scream and the 2nd girl came down saw the blood, saw fainted girl etc and though there was a mad-man outside the front door, after attacking the first unconscious girl etc, wouldn't open the door for ages..........eventually opened the door, called 999, finger top was sown back on, but he cannot feel it, move it etc....

Once i had one of them legendary turds you only hear about around the campfire..
Anyhow, it nearly split me in a half.. it took an hour for a hole to close up. Never again Dunnes sausages.

Zangetsu · 13-03-2009 05:31PM

Snapped my collar bone in half, just about stayed under the skin... Was horrible cause I didn't remember when I woke up the next morning...

Never have a fight with a mop when your drunk...

Remember a lad I once knew playin football, he was in goal and someone took a shot, he jumped up and missed the ball, when he came back down everyone's face went pale, his finger got caught in the net and stayed there...

The moment of realization was priceless!

justcallmetex · 13-03-2009 05:57PM

Ripped my bungee cord don't hurt at the time but the ammount of blood was unreal!

... a broken heart.

haha gay.

dade · 13-03-2009 06:02PM

missed some fecker's face with my fist and my hand went through reinforced glass (that stuff with the wire through it)

tore my had to shreds lost a bucket load of blood, ruined a stone roses Teeshirt of and severed the tendon in my "bird" finger. nice German doctors put it back together though, cos not being able to move that finger would have been too funny

Latchy · 13-03-2009 06:10PM

When I was 9, I ran out from behind some bushs in front of a car on chapolizod hill Dublin and leg went under front wheel .I had a big open gash on right instep. Just as well he wasn't going fast .Went looking for the spot a few years ago and was disapointed to find chapolizod hill no longer exists .

Quaver · 13-03-2009 06:25PM

Broke my jaws. Two months of constant aching, and only be able things through a straw that had been liquidised, and everytime i smiled or laughed it would pull at the stitches and I would start crying

I'm all better now though!

Wow, broken both ankles too, still have the screws and plates in each ankle to prove it too, however contrary to belief they never set off any metal detectors.

gino85 · 13-03-2009 06:48PM

broke my ankle in 2 places, had to cycle about a mile home to be brought to the hospital(pre-mobile days)

got hit by a car mainly just shock from being hit by a car

parents said i accedentally pulled hot oil on myself, was too hot because i didnt scar

also caught a bit of my nutsack while zipping up my school trousers, again shock was the main injury

13-03-2009 06:54PM

Someone once jumped on my foot and broke my big toe when I was 17. I'd already broken my ankle three times at that stage (have done it again since) and was reasonably tough so, when I heard the toe go, I didn't expect the pain to be bad. God, I was wrong.

The worst thing was in the hospital. I'm about 5' 11" (fairly tall for a girl) and not especially dainty but, as I was limping into X-ray, I had to stop in the hall and hold onto the wall because I could feel myself starting to black out from the pain.

Along comes this little 4' 10" **** of a Chinese doctor, sees me towering over him, crying in pain with my broken, purple toe exposed and the little pratt bursts out laughing and starts saying "aah, big girl no likey sore little toe. Ahahahahahaha. You not tough!".

I swear, he was lucky I couldn't walk because I would have plastered his head onto the far-over wall for him.

JerryHandbag · 13-03-2009 08:03PM

I've been injury free all my life.....worst was a nail up the foot.

And I cried like a baby

marbar · 13-03-2009 08:10PM

i had my jaw broken in two places once
two lads followed me into the jax in belfast and punched me either side of my face at teh same time while i was at a urinal. brave men...obviously
didn't feel the pain until i sobered up

Timmaay · 13-03-2009 08:59PM

Came off the bike while trying to make an 85ft jump last year, snapped my upper arm and had to get it pinned. No fun at all and it took months and months to heal fully! I'm back on a bike the whole time again, I've learnt nothing and waiting to break more stuff:D Heres a nice xray of it

Please tell me the answer to that is "a superman".

Jonnykitedude · 13-03-2009 09:18PM

Crushed my right foot with a keg of beer and ended up on crutches for 18 months!

Crashed a racing bike, broke 3 ribs and bruised my kidney, pissing blood for a few weeks….god that hurt.

I have a long list I wont get into

Timmaay · 13-03-2009 09:18PM

Motocross!!! Ya get jumps as long as 120ft. And eh, I probably did end up flying off the bike superman style before I crashed, I can't remember anything from a minute before the crash:)

marbar · 13-03-2009 09:22PM

i broke my collar bone when i was a kid, on a man size mouse wheel in france

seemed like a good idea at the time

moneyman · 13-03-2009 09:22PM

When I was 12, I was about to go out the back door. Just as I was going out, my mother came in the front door. It was a ridiculously windy day. Back door slammed on my pinky. Looked down, saw the top of my finger hanging off and the bone sticking out. Cue screaming. Was pretty disgusting. Lots of blood too. Broke the finger and severed tendons, but with surgery and physio I have full use of it again! Scar is the only reminder, and the fact that sometimes it gets really, really cold.

Also broke a different finger. Numerous sprained ankles and knees. Also have patellar tendonopathy. That's annoying. Downside to playing so much sport.

Oh ya thanks for reminding me,I got my finger half-crushed in a toilet door when I was 5, hurt like hell!

When I got my metal plate in my arm the guy said that it wouldn't beep except if I went through Israel (pre-Sept. 11th). Thing is, I've noticed that going out of the UK I beep, but not anywhere else. Might just be coincidence though.

Worst injury you have suffered.
