To ask you what bones you have broken?

[TurtleCavalryIsSeriousShit]

I was reading the 'broken ankle' thread and was amazed at how many people have broken their ankles or tibula/fibula.

I mean, I know people break bones all the time , but honestly, before my car accident at the age of 39 I had only had a green fracture in my arm at the age of 4.

So here I am thinking I'm all unique with all my broken bones, but I'd actually really like to know about other peoples'.

I'll go first (this was in the car accident in January):

R collarbone
2 ribs (one in two places)
R pelvis
R femur (upper leg)
R tibula/fibula (lower leg)
L femur
L heel

Obviously I'm held together by a lot of metal at the moment but it's better than a head injury or being dead (obviously). And for some reason I am super proud of my scars.

Please tell me your stories?

I broke my right wrist and right collar bone as a young teenager, both in separate horse riding accidents.

Then I had a car accident a few years ago and by some miracle came out unscathed other than a broken left navicular (small bone in my foot).

Hope you're on the mend

[bananafish81]

Smashed up my sacrum when I was 13

Had my coccyx removed when I was 21

They let me keep the bone - I have it in a jar

[DearTeddyRobinson]

Left ankle (twice)
Right scaphoid (small bone in wrist).
God I hope that's it!
I've had numerous surgeries though tries to keep up with OP

[yawning801]

Does it count if my spine was broken and reassembled on purpose during surgery?

If not, then none!

[PenelopePimpleBottom]

Both little toes. That is all. And I didn't do those until 2 years ago, I'm 30.

[Mac12345]

I broke my little toe when I was 7, it was the Easter school disco and my friend and I had planned to wear our matching skirts. I was rushing to get ready, ran out of my bedroom and caught my toe on the doorframe. I carried on, the toe didn't. Then I hobbled down to my dad and said "I think I hurt my toe" it was pointing out at a right angle!! 😂

Needless to say I missed the disco in favour of an afternoon at a&e and my best friend was devestated we didn't get to wear our matching skirts!

I was very proud of myself for not screaming or crying when I did it, but I bloody did both when they put it back in place!

[deepestdarkestperu]

I've never broken a bone. I'm 29 next week.

[MusicToMyEars800]

I have broke the baby toe on my right foot 3 times and I have broke my left ankle.

[JennyOnAPlate]

Little toe when I was —drunk— at uni and ankle in my early twenties.

[Lizzie48]

I've broken my left ankle. I didn't realise I'd broken it, as I'd had several sprains in the past so assumed it was another one. I was in Africa at the time to give some context, and a doctor there gave his opinion that he didn't think it was broken.

But then, 12 years later, I hurt the same ankle again (on a trampoline!) and the X-ray showed damaged ligaments and an old fracture. That time in Africa was the only time I hadn't had an X-ray, and it had been a nasty fall into a deep hole in the dirt track outside the house where I was visiting.

Anyway, as the result of my subsequent accident, the old injury led to bruising to the bone which took 2 years to heal. It did heal but it led to damage to my hips as a result of me overcompensating in getting myself around. I haven't been the same since then sadly.

MBHQ deleted the other thread. Cba typing my reply on it all over again.

[TowerRose]

My middle toe, same one, twice

[Jenniferturkington]

Never broken a bone (not of my own anyway, I once broke a girl's fib playing footy) and I'm 36

[kaytee87]

I broke my radius and ulna bones right through when I was 4 (left arm)

My right big toe (probably twice but didn't get it seen to)

And now my left ankle on both sides and my fibula right through.

Have now had 7 operations under GA

[insancerre]

None
I've never had a broken bone
My parents never did or my 3 siblings growing up
My dc are 28 and 21 and have never broken a bone either
Dh had broken ribs once

[WhatToDoAboutThis2017]

I've never broke or fractured anything and I'm nearly thirty.

[Floralnomad]

Skull
Collar bones x2
Wrist
Fingers / toes
Big toe

[PurplePillowCase]

coccyx (came off horse slapstick style)
little toe (knocked it on a concrete curb)
ribs (coughing fit)
metatarsal (walked down stairs)

since the last 2 were weeks apart I'm now on extra vit d3.

[TooManyPaws]

I must bounce. 56 and I had to have my septum realigned - either broken during hockey at school or on my rifle sights. Cracked a finger bone in two separate accidents; in one of them, the soft tissue damage, ie bruising to knuckles, was what required splinting. I am hypermobile though and have arthritis in my joints.

Both my parents were the same but both had to have both hips replaced in their 70s/80s.

[Christmascardqueen]

60 none officially although I suspect I fractured my right shin about 10 years ago.
Unable to weight bear on it for 6 weeks and it developed one of those bone calcification lumps...now reabsorbed. After a nasty fall.

[Glumglowworm]

My coccyx twice

Cracked a rib

A small toe

None confirmed by X-ray because due to location none would need/be possible to treat except with painkillers. Coccyx was definitely the worst!

I also broke my sisters toe

[MilkTwoSugarsThanks]

I broke a wrist... it wasn't my wrist

[VivienneWestwoodsKnickers]

Left thumb aged 5, trying to wheelie bike on a wet drain cover.
Left wrist aged 9, fell off bike in spectacular fashion.
All ten toes on multiple occasions - bottom of a tidal swimming pool where the depth was never quite the same, on stairs etc
All ten fingers aged 24, working security at a festival.
Middle finger of left hand aged 32, slammed it in a car door.

[hungryradish]

Ouch, sounds terrible op!

Just my toes, multiple times. Nothing else luckily & I'm 28 :)

[ScootieAllan]

Nothing, ever. Aged 44.
