We could nearly have a full skeleton of x rays for Halloween

Ankle, ribs and wrist all on same side when I came off a bike in Australia a few years ago.
The deeply sympathetic doctor pointed out that it could have been so much worse if I hadn't been wearing a helmet. "If not for the lid we'd be using you for spares mate"

Tip of my little finger when I banged it in a door but that's minor. I've been pretty lucky in that respect, I've never done any serious damage to myself.

Bitten by a taxi driver? Wow.

Yeah, in Shanghai. He took me the scenic route on the way home one night, despite me telling him, in Chinese, the way to go. Just told him to stop the car and I got out, gave him a bollocking and was walking away when he chased me and grabbed me and demanded to be paid. Scuffle ensued and he grabbed my left wrist and bit me, crunched the bone and broke it. Gave him a horrendous box to get him off me. 'Might' have given him a bit of a shoe'ing after that. Cops arrived, was brought to the cop shop. Paid a Y100 (~e12) fine for a public disturbance, but the taxi driver was dealt with pretty roughly (Chinese cops don't like people messing with foreigners - unfair, I know, but it happens a lot). The ring finger on my left hand, at the tip, is kinda a little wider and flatter than the other fingers now.

Personally, being run over by the motorbike was worse, though.

Nose broken a couple of times, boxing.

One was sparring actually, with my roommate, the prick!

Somehow I have managed to avoid breaking any bones. I really don't know how. Played Gaelic Football and Hurling for 15 years competitively and plenty of soccer (though this was usually only small(ish) kick arounds). Have been doing martial arts the last 2.5 years as well, but haven't fought competitively yet I suppose.

Think I will actually have to get my nose surgically broken at some point in the next few months for an operation... as soon as I move along on the waiting list :rolleyes:

:eek: I thought I was the only one.

I broke both my wrists two years ago. Unfortunate timing as it happened exactly a week before my only sisters wedding. The day after I was let out of hospital I was on an 18 hour flight back to Ireland for it!!

I was only 10, so it wasn't as much of an issue as it'd be now.
Runs in the family - my Mum broke both her legs at the same time when she was a kid. (See what I did there?!

)

What bones have you broken, how long did it take to recover and how did you stay sane in between?

Your mother's pelvis, 8 weeks, your sister.

Broke my right arm trying to do the pole vault with a brush handle when I was 7 out in the front garden

Jaw - From a punch from a traveller in primary school.

Nose - Broken multiple times mainly through sport.

Wrist and fingers - When a taxi pulled out in front of me and knocked me off my motorbike. At first I was told the wrist was just badly bruised, 6 weeks later the swelling subsided and the next xray showed the break so it had to be rebroke and set properly.

Big toe - Indoor football, watching the ball not realising I was as close to the side wall as I was. Volleyed the wall instead of the ball.

I broke both my wrists when I was 12 by falling off a monkey frame, they were not obviously broke, just swollen and i was in pain. I walked home (about a mile) and got shouted at for kicking the door to get my parents attention. My mum had to bath me (yes embarrassing) and dress me, then my folks went out to the pub and didn't take me to the hospital until the morning after. Neither of my parents drove so we had to catch the bus, I was left downstairs so my folks could have a fag so getting to and from me seat was a pain. It took over seven hours to get both wrists cast, as one had to be reset. I remember I then 6 weeks off school, and all the homework they gave me was a book to read.

To be fair I wasn't in as much pain as I would have thought broken bones would have caused me, and next time I got an injury I was rushed straight to A&E.

What bones have you broken?
