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.

Morbid - safer way to remove an avocado stone!

Getting my kitten heels caught in my wide legged turn ups while walking down the concrete stairs at work.

It really hurt.

Sedate riding lesson with my Dd on her 11th birthday, for some reason my horse bolted and bucked me off and I landed heavily and knew that I'd hurt myself. However, as it was Dd's birthday decided as I was walking it couldn't be that bad. Two days later and in excruciating pain I finally went to A&E only to be immediately immobilised, transported by ambulance to another more specialised hospital as I had fractured 7 vertebrae.
I'm absolutely fine (although in pain) but very lucky that it wasn't a whole lot worse

Had the garden revamped with wooden decking and stone edging round the grass. Taking my first step onto it I slipped, fell my length, bruising my arse, elbow and pride and hit my head on the stone edging. It really took the shine off my beautiful new outdoor living space!

Bottle of chilli sauce falling out of cupboard onto finger causing a ‘very unusual fracture’.

Shoulder barged the wall at the bottom of the stairs after tripping up - broke the ball joint in my shoulder

Fell over my own feet and head butted a cabinet at work - no major damages but seriously embarrassed

Gave myself a black eye after head butting the toilet when puking after a heavy night in the beer

Dropped my motorbike on my foot and broke my foot - in front of a ferry full of blokes going to the Isle of Man TT races - again sooo embarrassing

I remember when I was very young, maybe 5 and I licked the ice cube tray resulting in it sticking to my tongue....I was trying to rip it off whilst my mum pinned my head back to it shouting for help...I lost a lot of taste buds from my tongue that day!!

Bust lip, nose and black eye from then 4yr old ds1. We were at the swimming pool and ExDH was trying to encourage him to step off the side while I was promising I would catch him, he finally plucked up the courage but instead of just stepping off he ran and took a massive jump, propelling himself full force at me smacking me right in the face with his head. Fountains of blood everywhere.

My dad came by the next day, took one look at my swollen nose, split lip and glorious black eye and, before I had time to explain what had happened, he flew into the kitchen shouting at my poor ex who ran out out the back door.

Dad followed him out into the street yelling “I’ll fucking teach you to hit women you bastard!” I’d never seen my dad that angry, he was always a very mild, gentle man. Ex was a bit faster than him and escaped. He came back about an hour later when he thought it was safe to assume I’d had time to clear his name.

Not an injury as such but once riding my bike an earig got into my ear. I thought it was a bee or wasp and was going mad. It fell out while I was standing by my mum who was trying to phone the doctor. That was in the days before out of hours clinics

This Christmas I sprained a disc in my back doing the vacuuming. Couldn't walk for three days. Good excuse to steer clear of cleaning now though. 😀

Sat on my plugged in straighteners while getting ready for a night out. Had nothing but a thong on at the time, ended up with an arse marked like a Hot Cross Bun for weeks!!!

Wrapping a schleich T Rex with movable jaw for Xmas, bloody things jaw clamped on the top of my finger and took skin off. Bled for ages. Couldn’t figure out how to remove it.

Then I couldn’t type at work due to TRex based injury

Ki stabbed myself (accidentally) at work with a screwdriver a long thin blade it went in between thumb and index finger and came out at my wrist, went to the hospital to get it removed and was asked by the receptionist did it bleed a lot which I said no as it's still in the holes and as she looked she fainted and was seen before me!

Massive nose bleed from washing my face vigorously and ramming my finger up my nose in the process.

Sawed into my leg by balancing a piece of wood I was cutting across my knee instead of on a hard inanimate object.

I had a broken ankle as I was assaulted and a sick young baby to look after plus two teeenagers and a useless husband at the time! But, with my two crutches I couldn't work them to manoeuvre properly while trying to get to the loo. I was so angry by this I thudded one crutch on the floor angrily and it hit my little toe on opposite side of broken ankle - I had to get doctor out and I'd only broken my little toe so had to shuffle on my butt around flat. For years it kept dislocating until I finally had the first toe section removed - had a sore butt as well withall the shuffling around carpets!! 😂😆

I’m a director in various mediums but most of them involve throwing my body around and moving a lot - apart from when I direct audiobooks and I sit in a sound booth with an actor for 6hours a day listening to them read a book. I have never been injured through work APART from directing an 800page tome on neurobiology when I got repetitive strain injury in my right arm from having to make so many editing notes. My right arm is literally the only part of me that moves in that job!

You are my people
Got my thumb stuck in a wet wipes tube. This is many moons ago, when they came in a plastic tub with a spiked hole in the top, to pull them through. It swelled up and I had to be cut out.
Was sitting on a work bench at school, slid off and cut the back of my thigh (no idea how) on a radiator. Had blood gushing down my leg from this tiny cut. I still have a scar. You can guess what a bunch of teenagers thought it was!
Passed out on the same bench (maybe it was cursed) while watching a Physics demonstration. Keeled forward and hit a friend, a stool and the floor. Looked a sight and no idea why I passed out.
Was sucking a glass to create a vacuum and it stuck to my chin, huge purple mark for days. Again, no idea why I was even doing this.
Ironed my hand with an ironing press. That was sore.
Tripped over an old fashioned tape dispenser and took a huge chunk out of my shin. I swear you could see bone. Now they'd probably take you for plastic surgery. DM is more of a man up and get over it type. No hospital visit and an large scar.
Second date with DH I walked into a wall and broke my little toe.
Fell up a flight of stairs on my first day at work. Among other injuries, I ripped my top and my bra and had a boob poking out and very raw. Stayed at that job for 10 years and no one ever spoke of it again.
I now have kids and I'm glad to report neither have inherited my random injury gene.

I cut my hand open on a tube of toothpaste..... I still don’t know how I managed that one?

I slipped on animal wee and broke my little toe!

Open fracture when I was spinning the tubs on walzer as a teenager I stepped on the boards to go and spin a tub for a group of kids, lost my footing and got flung agsinst the railings. Cant remember any pain but spent the twenty minutes waiting for ambulance wondering how I'd get the blood out of my white jeans. I was absolutely horrified when the paramedic said he was gonna have to cut them. But it brought me down to earth when he said "would you rather lose you leg or your jeans, because they arent gonna be much use to you if we have to amputate you leg above the knee.

I also dislicated my ankle when I was about 10, pulled it literally out if a sicket after swinging on a tarzan which was tied to shirt. Somehow ended up with rope around my leg dangling my full body weight, felt a pop and ende duo hanging by a disslocated ankle. An older boy of about 14 held me upside down on his shoulder to take my weight until friends got help, a man from a nearby building site came and cut the rope and it was popped back into joint before the ambulance got there (I can vagually remember this huy saying he was a. Ex army medic) cant remember him even moving it back into place or any pain if there was any. Although my autism does mean my sense of pain is totally distorted.

The silliest wasnt really an injury but I did at the grand age of 25 get my arm stuck through a neighbours fence, after trying to put my hand through to pinch a burger from his barbeque (or rather the plate they had just put on the table by the fence) , thankfully it was a wooden fence and the neighbour was a joiner so he removed the boards to get me out, while he was laughing at me and eating the last burger to wind me up. Although it didnt hurt it was bruised cos it got stuck at the upper arm level and had been squeezed between the boards for ages and I ended up picking splinters out for a week.

My alsation used to have a habit of catching wasps. My mum was sitting outside, a wasp buzzing round her knee and our dog tried to catching ending up nipping my mum, the wasp stung her knee and she dropped a hot pie on her foot with all the scolding gravy juice going over her foot. She ended up walking round the house trying to get housework done with her foot in a bucket of water and a swollen knee. Even have a photo somewhere. Was like something from a comedy sketch.

I slipped three discs in my neck.
On a zip wire (no broken equipment, just whiplash)
Dressed as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle
Being filmed by a TV station.

I'm still waiting for surgery 😕

@MsMustDoBetter lol I've done something similar, running for a bus! Pretty much face planted in a busy bus station and my bags flew eveywhere. Bus driver had to come and help me up and collect my bags...still made the bus on time though
I've also managed to walk into a half closed door and get the handle stuck in my arm.
