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 Grin 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 Grin 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? Smile

Never broken any bones. Am 32 and have only spent 2 nights in hospital. My medical history is nicely boring!

Right ankle
Left collar bone

All my toes on various occasions. Used to work with excitable shire horses and regularly forgot my enforced toe shoes.

2 ribs and my nose at a rather boisterous gig about 10 years ago.

Nothing serious or cast worthy though. I'm 28.

nothing until I was 43, and then smashed my ankle.
Nothing since

Broke 6 ribs falling down concrete steps when I was 7. My whole back and sides were inevitable huge black bruise for weeks.

Broke 2 fingers when I caught them in the bannister when I slipped on the stairs aged 9.

Broke my ankle and 2 metatarsals falling down the stairs when I was 12.

Broke my knee and cracked my elbow falling down the last 3 stairs while carrying babe dd - she was fine, I couldn't walk for weeks.

I don't have the best luck with stairs.

Dd broke my nose when she was 6 months old and headbutted me.

Broke 1 rib and cracked 2 last year through coughing with a chest infection.
