Am I one of few that has NEVER broken a bone?

There's no way I'd let anybody near my back with a needle, that must have been torture :eek:
It's not actually bad, although some people say they find it extremely painful, it didn't bother me, the worst bit was when he managed to get the needle in a tiny little bit and he couldn't get it in anymore and as he was trying to either take it back out or push it in more he was kind of twisting me from side to side because it was stuck........all the time I was there thinking eh I thought i'm supposed to perfectly still or else I could be paralysed and this prick is twisting me around with a needle stuck in my back....it's funny now thinking back but not at the time

I couldn't hack that at all. Any time I had to go for an operation on my leg the surgeons kept saying "try the epidural" because the other option is more risky. I said I didn't care if I never woke up but that there was no way they were putting the needle in my spine. What you said about being twisted from side to side with the needle in sounds uncomfortable to say the least!0 -

To be honest I was just more worried that the anesthetist was just going to give up and I was going to be stuck there in pain, I think there was only the one anesthetist in the whole hospital so if he got paged to go down to A&E then I was f**ked, I was at the stage where I didn't care what way he got the needle in!I couldn't hack that at all.

I was in love with him once the job was done though
It's really nothing to worry about, it's a little bit of an odd sensation but I definitely didn't find it painful.0 -

I think it depends on where you grew up. I went to school with a lot of city dwellers who had never in their lives broken bones, except maybe the odd dislocated knee or broken arm.
I've broken six individual bones all over my body and all were incurred during rural pursuits. If I grew up in a city I reckon the worst I would have suffered were grazed knees... although at least i would have got to have gotten to play with rollerblades <--- worst thing about a green field, Irish country childhood right there

I was riding motorbikes 16 years up until 1996, never broke a bone in that time, the old man kept telling me to get a car as it would be safer, Got one and a year later had a head on which smashed ribs, So much for that.
Three years ago I broke a big toe from a motorbike crash, first time breaking anything off a bike. Moral Bikes are safer than cars.

Never broken any, but I did develop a stress fracture in my right tibia (shin) years ago. Working long hours and not eating right had left me deficient in minerals such as calcium, magnesium & zinc, which was not good for my bones ...
PS: I think my nose was broken when I was a kid, but I didn't mention it because it's not a bone. Government resting upon the will and universal suffrage of the people has no anchorage except in the people's intelligence.

Never broke a bone, but smashed a tooth once while ice climbing when the ice placement broke/dinnerplated as I pulled up on the axe, which came back and smacked me hard in the mouth. Ouuuch! That horrible dull achy, electrical pain... euchhh! I think I did well not to fall, but when my seconder came up after me and saw the blood I had dripped all over the ice, he was a little concerned!
My dentist did a good job at reconstructing it tho!
