Most Ridiculous Injury you have ever had in your life?

[DionneB]

as we have had serious injury , what are some ridiculous injuries you have had in your life before?

i would say slipping on some ice outside Bargin Booze and not being able to walk properly for 3 days afterwards , not fun times.

I walked into a bollard on Thames Embankment, at night, which was at just the wrong height … Agony for a couple of hours! Falling over when over refreshed, and breaking a finger - twice (but 20 years apart).

I got bitten on the neck by a fish. It really hurt.

I was lying flat on my back in bed and couldn't pull the quilt up, so told the dog to jump off....when she jumped back on she landed right on my knee cap and displaced it. It was agony... for ages. Needed time off work & lots of physio appointments. A year later & I still have a click knee.
My dog is a small border collie! I forgave her.

Broke my big toe a few years ago when I slipped stepping out of a swimming pool and bent it backwards.

Got bitten by the guinea pig last week when I was trying to clip her claws. I pulled my finger away which left me with a rip across the top of my finger...had to get steristrips to close it up.

When DD10 was 2 she threw the remote control at my face....I got a huge black eye...was going to see Take that with colleagues that night!

DS broke his leg at nursery when he was 3 and when the ambulance arrived I was pelting down the stairs with his red book and a hospital bag, slipped, put my hand out to break my fall and broke my ring finger. In the heat of the moment I didn't even notice, DS was in such a bad way and I was trying to get everyone to pay attention to him and all the paramedics and nurses wanted to do was marvel at my ring finger that looked like a fat angry aubergine for weeks afterwards. Luckily it healed before DS came home in a full body cast or I wouldn't have been able to carry him at all. It still aches sometimes and it was 4 years ago.

Ended up on crutches through doing something weird to my foot while cleaning bathroom floor! Me injuring myself through cleaning -what's going on!

Damaged my coccyx and couldnt sit down for long without pain for weeks. sex injury

So badly Burnt my hand on the oven when pregnant there was no pain.

I cut my finger on a biscuit aged 7 (it had really sharp edges)

I burned my hand on marzipan as a teenager - I'd microwaved it and it turned into molten lava inside, which shot out over my hand when I squished it.

I've got joint hypermobility so manage some really daft things, one of the most recent was subluxing a finger changing gear when driving.

I recently threw an entire cup of scalding coffee down the side of my arm and leg at work, amazingly had no mark at all.

My car was parked on quite a busy road and in my hurry to jump into the driver's seat before the next car came along, I managed to slam the car door trapping my head between the door and roof. Not only did a shatter my glasses, but ended up with a huge bruise down the side of my head and I'm sure I had concussion. With no glasses I had a wobbly and blurry walk back to work to get the emergency contact lenses I kept in my desk!

That was an interesting conversation to our insurance company as I was claiming for my broken glasses.

Remembered another one...

Broke my little toe walking into the metal leg of a bed while tucking DD in whilst we were on holiday at a caravan. Luckily the weather was good because I couldn't get a proper shoe on for days and could barely walk in flip-flops.

Ok I think I've remembered the WORST one I had. Nipped put into my dads garden barefoot to steal some podded peas. They were so sweet I couldn't help myself. Sneaking back into the house I was rushing and didn't allow enough space between my foot and the outdoor grid doodah. It was one of those metal boot scraper things that sits across the door. Similar to the pic but the bits that stick out were more pointy and it was a bit more heavy duty.
I Impaled my foot on it. Between my big toe and second toe. It was deep and literally knocked me sick.

Tripped over a one inch high fence post stub in a car park. The car park was empty and the stub been painted bright yellow, cut my elbow open but somehow my coat remained intact!

fell off a rope bridge in a soft play centre - injured my wrist and needed an op

I was watching season finale of Homeland and eating peanuts. I realised I was covered in oil and salt and didn't want to eat the whole box in one sitting because it's 1000 cal. Took box to kitchen. Watched a bit more. In a crucial moment I just felt I needed to get those peanuts back. Run into the kitchen to get them with eyes glued to the telly as not to miss anything from the cliffhanger finale. Whacked head on the doorframe so hard I nearly passed out. A deep cut above my eyebrow - still have the scar.

Pulled a thigh muscle badly trying to get into a pair of very skinny jeans in MissSixty when I was 20 and MissSixty was epitome of chic in my very young mind. Couldn't walk properly for a week.

Fractured a rib on a date. Got very drunk as fancied the guy and was incredibly nervous but didn't eat anything. Missed a step on marble steps when leaving. Whacked my side on the edge. Muchos pain. Date was gallant enough to take me to A&E. We went on few more dates but it never worked out.

When I was 12, I decided that riding my bike home with my roller boots hanging over the handlebars was a brilliant idea until one boot caught in the spokes - I flew over the handlebars, landed half on half off the kerb. Sprained my wrist but going to school with a half bruised/grazed face and one black eye was worse.

Black hamstring bruise after doing the splits to get free shots on an 18-30’s holiday. Apparently I wasn’t warmed up, just twotted, and though it did sting at the time, it wasn’t until the next morning when the vodka had worn off (and the bruising was contrasting so well with my sunburn) that I realised what a div I’d been!
Oh so much pain.

Oh, also fell into the pool (drunk) during a party. Whacked my elbow on the way in.
Same holiday.
We had THE BEST time and want to be 18 again!

DD will never be going on one of these holidays.

I once sat on my hair straighteners whilst on holiday! Bloody well hurt. Husband and child came back from a walk to find me sitting in a basin of cold water! Chemist staff, when I went to seek some relief from the pain, could hardly contain their laughter told me to "keep the blister" Like how? Worse as it started to heal as very itchy. Not a good look, scratching ones buttock. Slight V sign still on my bum.

(Meant to say chipped my elbow)

When I was ten I had what can only be described as a small stigmata of my middle finger. For about a week, on and off, blood would gush out of the tip in a perfect scarlet arc. It was quite an impressive amount and I remember it pooling in my polyester school skirt. Totally unexplained, even my normally unflappable mum was weirded out. Especially when l had witnesses in the changing room of my swimming lesson .. that place should rightfully be the Lourdes of the north.

Double open fracture on the tip of my finger. Was making cauliflower rice, the blender clogged, I stick my finger in. 5 months of physio later, it’s still numb and won’t bend. I buy cauliflower rice now.

I broke my wrist planting daffodils when I was about 10, no idea how, I was pushing a bulb down and there was a horrible crunch, x-ray showed quite a bad break and I had lots of tests but nothing wrong with me other than the break, had to speak to SS because the doctors were obviously baffled and thought maybe I was lying about what happened. Still can't work out how it happened.

Broken tooth, black eyes and nose bleed playing with then toddler DD, she threw her head backwards and headbutted me by accident. I looked like I'd been in a fight.

Most embarrassing though is the massive bruise on my bum, I was getting out the back of a colleagues car and slipped, whacked my bum on the curb and burst into tears, the bruise is about two thirds of my rather large bum cheek!

Cutting my hand with my toenail 😂
