    Broke my wrists five times. Three from football, one from falling off a wall and one cause my Dad tripped me when I was five. I'm still angry about that :pac:

    Broken a few bones over the years, But i fell off a swing when i was 14 and snapped my wrist in half it was stickin out through the skin and everything. Probably one of the most painful things to ever happen to me

    I've fractured my rib playing rugby when I was about 13. Otherwise, just a couple of wrenched ankles/wrists.

    Never broken anything. Always wanted a broken hand for exams time...until it happened my cousin and he had to dictate his exam answers to someone. I couldn't do that :/

    I broke two of my father's toes playing football once, that was about it.

    Christ that looked sore. Glad your ok now.

    I've never broken a bone either....when I was having a baby I got the epidural and it took the anesthetist nearly an hour to get the needle into my back, he said he'd never came across bones as hard as mine, I cursed all the milk I drank for my whole life at that point :mad:

    I was in a pretty bad crash a few years ago, I was the passenger and I tend to stupidly sit with my legs crossed in the car so one of my legs got a pretty terrible bang, my whole leg was bruised but they x-rayed it and said it was fine, it was only when the swelling went down a couple of weeks later that I realised the bone felt completely misshapen, you can't see it but if you feel it it's like there's no bone there because it's been pushed back so far.

    We saw a customer in work today... Had two casts on, one on each arm, poor guy!
    Anyway, got to talking about bone breakages etc and all apart from myself had broken an arm, wrist etc over the years. I've never had a breakage, and I remember being raged with jealousy when people in school came in and got their casts graffiti-ed (Or whatever you call it) :D

    I have never broken a bone or even fractured a bone. I've also never had stitches or stayed overnight in hospital. Never envied anyone who has had to do any of these.

    There's no way I'd let anybody near my back with a needle, that must have been torture :eek:

    Did you not stay overnight in a hospital when you were born?

    Lol, indeed I did. Correction - I have never stayed overnight in hospital as a result of any illness.

    I've never broken a bone, but I do have more scars than Jesus did after arising from the dead unfortunately.
