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.

Went to,pick something up on the stairs as I was going up and caught my long nail on left ring finger in the thick pile of the carpet and bent it right back.
Next day finger was so swollen I went to GP who sent me to hospital as rings were cutting into my skin. Didn't break it but it was badly strained but they managed to get my rings off somehow.
It was Christmas Eve and Dr told my DH I couldn't cook or wash up while winking at me 😂 Thing is my DH is amazingly helpful and does 50% of the chores anyway but I did feel guilty.

He still jokes that I blamed him for the incident as it was something of his that I went to pick up in the first place. 🤣

@sadkoala it was very funny & very very inelegant :-)

Lived in a flat with wooden floors, slipped on a Vogue magazine on the floor & gave myself whiplash. Hospital put me in neck collar. Was too embarrassed to admit that so told everybody was in a car accident.

When baking potatoes, I use a metal kebab skewer through the centre to cook the insides quicker. One fateful evening while cooking a meal for my ex husband, for some reason I thought it was fine to take the potatoes straight out of the oven without oven gloves 😫. I had a perfect skewer shaped blister on my left palm for weeks!

Stood on a chair painting the ceiling of the childrens’ room.

Jumped down but managed to hook my knee between the rungs of the bunk bed ladder as I went downwards.

Thought I’d ripped my bloody leg off! Hil still isn’t right.

When I was about 10 we had this old bed frame in the garden that was full of nettles. We used to walk round the edge of it until I fell in one day...

I had nettle stings from my toes to my chin.

I rode my bike with my eyes closed once and ended up in the ditch.

I fell off my bike once and managed to knock myself out, don't know how I did it, all I remember was my Mum asking me why I was crying. I had a lump as big as an egg on my forehead. I just wanted to keep playing. That side of my head still has a bit of a lump on it.

Tripped over a big metal chest/trunk in the dark and shinned myself. The pain and bruising was unbearable 🤦‍♀️

Posted on here at the time but managed to fall in the dishwasher a few months ago, had a fetching black bruise on my thigh for weeks. Dishwasher actually died a couple of weeks ago, a bit karmic!

Fell off horse and landed on arse, must have bruised coccyx because I could not sit down for a week, it was agony!

Broke my toe sliding down the stairs in a sleeping bag. As an adult, while alone in the house.
Broke a rib doing a comedy pratfall trying to demonstrate to my son that falling on grass doesn't hurt, when he was learning to ride a bike. I had his sippy cup in my bag and landed on it on my floating ribs. I had to pretend it hadn't hurt a bit then invent an accident later.

We had a big old groundsheet for our tent that our DC used as a waterslide in the garden. Hot sunny day, so I thought I'd set it up for them to come home from school to, but bastard DH had used it for gardening so it was filthy. So muggins here decides to clean it with a brush, the hose and some washing up liquid.... down a slope in the garden. I've no idea to this day what happened but I came too in a mountain of bubbles, soaked by the hose and our DC standing over me with another mum from school who'd walked them home as I'd hadn't appeared at school . I brazened it out until the next morning (very stupidly in hindsight) when I woke up with the worst headache I'd ever had and spent the next 2 years recovering from a pretty bad head injury. The consultant said my brain had been shaken about like a blancmange in a biscuit tin. I had to repeat the story several times in A & E and in neurology outpatients and every bloody time their faces twitched when I explained how I'd done it...........

I was about 10 and on a scooter. I can’t remember exactly what happened but I had to suddenly stop and somehow on of the handlebars made impact with my vulva. I was very grazed and had to pee in the bath for about a week because it stung so much.

I also broke a finger a couple of years ago when I dropped a medicine ball on it.

I’m massively clumsy but thankfully tend to avoid (touch wood!) major injuries. I’m just covered in bruises most of the time!

Both DH and I learnt on to give then newborn ds1 a raspberry on the tummy.
He headbutted me in the eye and gave me a shiner.
I managed to sew myself to a dress I was making in college. I was the least freaked out person there. I do remember my teacher trying to drag me away from the sewing machine and me having to tell her to stop as I was still attached by the thread.
Tiny mark for a lot of pain.

Ds decided to roll off his bed (when aged 7) for no apparent reason and broke his fall by headbutting his chest of drawers. He seemed to think this was a good outcome for his effort, though the gash on his head said otherwise.
It wasn't the worst thing he's done to himself, but I think it's the stupidest.

My middle aged eyes couldn't read the instructions for the time I needed to leave hair removal cream on my 'moustache' so I guessed...
Ended up with chemical burns and a huge red clowns mouth for days which eventually crusted over.
Mmmm attractive!

Not me but my grandad - painting the outside of the house and up a ladder. He decided to step back and see how it looked. He broke his leg so badly he was in hospital for 10 months and my grandma never let him live it down.

Also I once had a black eye that I’d got by opening a cupboard door and the corner of it catching me face. I demonstrated to my dm how I did it and gave myself another black eye .

I on e put my finger on an electric hob hotplate to see if it was on. It was. By the time it registered in my brain that it hurt I had a nice crusty circle of black skin on the end of my pointer finger. Hurt a lot. And smelt disgusting.

Catniss! Wow that's spectacular! Did you have lasting damage then? Does sound funny though, sorry!

We’ve had some hilarious sex injuries.

I also punched myself in the throat once getting changed and had to go to A&E as I couldn’t swallow

At my dads wedding, dancing 'enthusiastically' to Gangnam style (perhaps after a glass or two of wine) and slipped. It hurt instantly, but in an effort not to disrupt the wedding, I stood and did the macarena. Said nothing, even when I couldn't cut my own breakfast the next day and we drove home before I found out I had broken my wrist! It's never quite been forgotten..!

I've shut my - really quite small - nose in a door. Had to be checked out for a break as it was so painful.

I've broken my fibula and dislocated bones in my ankle by slipping over in the garden on the one patio slab that didn't have snow on it .

I once ran a large piece of medical equipment over my toe and then fainted, banging my head.

And I've got a permanent scar from an egg cup injury.

I didn't mind the gap when getting on the tube and one leg slipped down to the knee, which bashed very hard on the edge of the train. Massively bruised and very painful for weeks.

DD gave herself her first black eye last week, cross country skiing in PE. She was trying to avoid crashing into a classmate so turned suddenly, fell over and kicked herself in the face with her ski.

When I was about 16/17, my friend was giving me a piggyback on some cobbles. She tripped and I fell flat in my face. Scraped my nose and left with a phallic shaped scab on the bridge of my schnoz. Not a good look!

Oh I have a friend a piggyback when I was drunk and fell flat on my face, breaking my nose and she banged her knee really bad and it gave her trouble for months. Also a friend gave me a piggyback when drunk and he fell backwards so I landed on the back of my head and gave myself mild brain damage (I didn't go to the doctor until a week later when my headache wouldn't go away and he told me off quite severely!)

In retrospect, piggybacks when drunk are a bad idea, and probably a bad idea when sober too.

I was playing rounders at work and slipped over and landed on the keys I had in my pocket. I had to lie on the ground for a minute trying not to cry. I had a bruise bigger than my hand on my thigh and I've still got scars from where the keys cut my leg.
