    Serious question, what does "broke my knee" mean in your previous post?
    I wouldn't have thought there is a specific knee to break

    Cracked the very top of my tibia!

    I broke my wrist in a snowboarding lesson, my left ring finger twice playing basketball, and cracked my knee cap when I tripped on a door mat running inside the house.

    scaphoid (wrist)

    Thats the fecker that broke on me. The hospital x rayed and said nothing was wrong so I was walking around with a broken bone. I ran into a gate (it was dark and I am blind as a bat) and broke it more. . . The hospital said they could not do anything, the cast never healed it, so I broke it a few more times, very weak. Plus it sticks out like a freaky boner on my wrist.

    Broke 2 bones in my wrist when I was 11. Broke the same two bones a couple of years ago. Getting arthritis now as a result.

    Broke my ankle in 3 places when I was about 20 on my first motorbike. Tore the **** out of my arms as well. The surgeon wanted to amputate the leg but me being a cocky little b*llix I told him no and argued about it. In the end they sent me home with my leg in a cast. To this day I find it hard to walk in a straight line :pac:

    My left ankle 3 times, my right arm, two fingers and I dislocated my shoulder too. Oh, and my tailbone.

    I've also sprained my left ankle at least a dozen times, I never gave it a chance to hear properly after the first break and it never regained its strength. Paying for it now :(

    My right arm, doing a handstand, and several bones in my left foot, doing karate. Don't remember being housebound for any length with either of them, but I was a lot younger then!

    I did try to get out of doing homework with the broken arm ... didn't work though. :(

    I've broken loads. People are surprisingly fragile. None of my own though, which is a plus.

    My sisters arm, my other sisters collar bone and a lad from schools leg.

    I don't know why people give out about the pain, I thought they were grand. And I certainly never was housebound from any of them!

    • Left leg
    • 3 ribs
    • Nose
    • Right arm once
    • Left arm twice
    • Big toe on my left foot

    The worst were the broken ribs because I had to sit my driving test a few days afterwards and the seatbelt went across them. I couldn't feel my face I was on so many painkillers before the test.

    Think up a project op and start researching the hell out of it online, that'll pass plenty of time for you.

    I've broken rakes of them. About 20 I'd say. Oh, wishbones don't count? In that case, none :)

    Broke and dislocated my ring finger on my right hand during a GAA match.

    Here is a summary of how it happened in list format:


    • Ball comes in - fists / skin / legs / hair flying
    • Ball gets cleared upfield
    • I pick myself up off the ground and walk up the pitch a bit
    • Notice incredible pain in my right hand
    • Remove my "Mikasa" glove from said hand
    • Look horrified at said hand as one of my fingers is pretty much mangled
    • Opposing team-mate looks on horrified

    I haven't broken any limbs etc in my whole life.. Which is surprising, I've fell loads of times on rollerblades when I was younger. :pac:

    A couple of ribs. Thankfully none of them were mine, but I still felt awful about it for weeks.
