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 broke my wrist skiing. What I don't tell people is I was standing in a queue for a drink and I slipped whilst standing still.. on the first day. I didn't actually get to ski.

Broke a tooth biting into a sandwich crust!!

I caught my fella in the googlies while laughing at something-half hour later I was showing my daughter how I didn't mean to do it the first time-and clipped them again!he still brings it up 4 years later

For my l0th birthday I got a stationary ruler. Think most kids had them. The picture posted gives you an idea. But the one I had , the rubber and pencil sharpener were at opposite ends with the pencil and biro clipped in the middle. Any way. Tried to take our pencil. Stuck . Tried to push it back in. Went straight into my thumb. Still got the pencil lead in my thumb 32 yrs later.
Broke my ankle failing down steps
Black eye off the kids bumpbeds
Finger bitten by fighting rats
Tore my toe nail off pushing a hospital bed.
And my daughter nearly lost her leg practicing for Britain's got talent

I have an inch long scar of one arm where I vigorously threw the duvet over a pathologically sleepless toddler DD and caught it with my own jagged fingernail.

Also managed to badly sprain my knee walking to the pub, stone cold sober, in flat shoes...that was annoying.

I was flattened by a woman on a motorised scooter, she was unable to reverse and I managed, for the first time in my life, to stop traffic in both directions until the paramedics arrived .

I was fine.

When I was about 18, I went to a Halloween party and ended up absolutely hammered. As I stood up off the sofa and stepped forwards, my friend stuck his legs out to stand up at the same time and I tripped over them. I faceplanted the wall because I was too drunk to put my hands out to save myself, slid down the wall and blacked out for a couple of minutes.
My face was so sore I couldn't take my makeup off for days because the slightest touch was agony. The headache I had the next day was unreal. Don't know how I didn't do permanent damage to myself tbh.

My cat face makeup was imprinted on the wall because I hit it so hard and my friends left it there in memory.

I'd gone outside for some reason and I could hear the kids fighting so I rushed back inside,tripped over the mat and broke two toes-soon stopped em fighting-a year to the day later I was out of the front,heard em fighting again-tripped over the same mat and broke the same two toes...

LOVE the cat face make up print!

So many.

Used to like running around naked as a toddler. Feel and got the handle of my spinning top RIGHT up my foof. There was bleeding. My mum was too scared to seek any help in case people thought I'd been abused. All seems in working order down there, at any rate.

Ripped my own navel piercing out climbing over a fence, while pissed. Didn't even notice until the next day.

Broke my metatarsal by stepping on my own foot, while pissed. Was wearing stilettos at the time. Foot was bruised the next day but didn't think much of it. 6 weeks later I went to the GP about the weird lump on my foot - it had broken and healed. Doesn't hurt so I decided against the re-break and plaster option.

Probably the best was one I inflicted though. My boyfriend at the time was... how shall we say?.. providing an excellent level of service below the waist. Unfortunately, I responded rather too enthusiastically to his efforts and he got his nose broken. He wore it like a badge of honour thereafter though, so I struggle to feel too guilty.

DH had a very unusual accident when we were in the kitchen at my DM's 50th birthday party. DM had put some bowls of food to cool down on top of the extractor hood and while myself, DH and a friend were chatting away (DH had his back to the hob/extractor hood) when he heard a noise. We looked at each other for a moment and then carried on talking. Seconds later the extractor hood not only fell from the wall but launched itself forward, hitting DH on the back of his head. Of course, we all (except DH) found it hilarious and still laugh about it 20+ years down the line. DH still claims that it caused a flat area on the back of his head.

DS2 is a legend within his old primary school, where DS3 still goes. As when he was in year 2 he was playing out on the grass area when he tripped over and hurt his knee. The staff didn't understand why he was screaming so much as there was no damage to his school trousers at all. He had tripped and fallen with his knee onto a drain inspection chamber which the contractors had left a screw sticking out about half an inch from the surface. When the first aider rolled up his trouser leg she saw the blood and then noticed the v shaped flap taken out of his knee and the bone was visible. I took him to minor injuries and they glued & steri-stripped it as he was too distressed to have it stitched. The school caretaker tried to remove the screw without any luck, so had to take an angle grinder to it in the end just to make it safe. Even teachers who are fairly new to the school and who had never met DS2 know about the incident.

Drunk in Vegas, aged 23. Bikini bottoms had a little skirt thing on them. I did a ballet twirl to show the security guard my pretty skirt, lost my balance and fell down. Best friend tried to help me up, fell down drunk on top of me. Security guard said he thought I'd broken my foot. I laughingly said no and walked back to my hotel with my foot pointing the wrong way. Was very obviously broken when I woke up sober hours later. Whoops. Nine months of physical therapy.

We must be passing cousins cause I stuck wet bald up news paper in my nostrils at 3 and it almost got stuck. I got lucky and blew it out real hard. Yet my cousin and I at 5 tried to see how many dry pinto beans we could stick up our nose. All I remember one was stuck for days and got infected. My mom took me to the doctor and then I told why.lol The doctor had to take the bean out with long tweezers. I was crazy! Lol

very very outing to anyone who knows me... i fell over a blind mans guide dog and tore ligaments in my leg.

Stepped on an old heavy rake which slammed Into my mouth. Broken tooth split lip blood everywhere.
Had really big case that day (lawyer) and had only popped out to do bit of tidying in garden to clear head and de stress !
Two hospitals, stitches, dental bill.
Laurel and hardy !!

Tore my calf muscle whilst running for a bus, very surreal feeling as it didn't hurt when it happened just a lot of popping and snapping, it was only a few hours later that the pain hit

Woke up 4 days later with the start of severe bruising which continued for the next week to cover the entire back of my leg, then because I was using my right leg more to cover I ended up damaging the hamstring on the right leg, so all in all a very limpy few weeks!

The most horrible thing that the way it happened was ridiculous was busting my knee to the bone running to the phone in the house at 18 years old. I tripped on a missing floor board that the rug was covering upstairs in my grandmother's house. I landed on my knees on a base board of the table stand and I had to quit my job because the doctors said I was lucky cause I was a pinch away from breaking my knee.😮 I had to stay in the house leg wrapped, could bend it for about 2 months. Smh very lonely and stupid of me. NO RUNNING IN THE HOUSE! even for a phone call. Stupid boy🙄

Arthritis in my 30 ugh

I shut my own head in the car door

As a teen, I was sitting on the floor doing some sewing and put the threaded needle into the rug while pinning. The phone rang and I went answer it and trod on the needle.
It went all the way into my foot, with about a few millimetres of the point sticking out, and the thread. DM had to go and get pliers out of the shed to get hold of it to pull out. Urgh.

I strained the tendons in my neck having sex. It was agony. I could barely turn my head for days. I could have done with one of them neck cosies you get for whiplash.

Slipped in cat sick & my foot hit the wall causing the skin & flesh to rip (to the bone) under my toe & had to have it stitched & glued (& re-stitched & glued as when they told to just walk carefully it split open so I had to use crutches).

I was on crutches for 10 days!

I fell off my bike into a storm drain. Happened frequently where I was living at the time (you had to cross them on narrow bridges). Usually on the way home from the bar. What made mine different... I was stone cold sober on the way to pick up DD from nursery. It was witnessed. I still have knee trouble years later.

I was showing off to dh (who is stiff as a board) that I could put my toe on my nose (promise you, I can) but my foot slipped and my thumb came full force into my eye (think long nails) and perforated my cornea.
Had double vision for a week, wore an eye patch. Still have the scarring, and can still see the dot in my eye, when reading .

I achieved a spectacularly middle class injury at a friend’s house. I was twatting around in her kitchen and slipped on a boden parcel that had been left on the floor. I smacked my arm on the Aga, leaving myself with a dislocated elbow and black bruising from shoulder to wrist.
