What has been your strangest injury? (Warning! Thread contains gory images)

[Pointlessfact]

I would when I was about 8 , being on the middle of a slide and falling off it , injuring my back

Mama I also had rotator cuff injury, from using a hand pump to inflate an air bed. I weirdly broke my thumb trying to get ice cube out of tray, bent my thumb back when bending the tray.
My DD has a tiny scar on her eyebrow from when she was a baby and I was changing her on the floor and my hard bristled hair brush fell off the bed onto her face. I don't know how so much blood could come out of little more than a pin prick.

My youngest daughter face planted her cactus plant sand had to go to A&E to have the spines removed.

She once broke her wrist when she tried to play tag with my partner, fell into her bum in the floor then slowly tipped backwards into the corner of the coffee table. Must have been just the right (or wrong!) angle as their was no force involved.

She broke her foot in to places and got concussion when she tripped over the leg of her pyjama pants - made her walk on it for a week as I didn’t think it was that bad!

She broke a couple of ribs pushing a heavy shopping trolley which stopped suddenly. She didn’t stop and caught the end of the trolley under her boob.

She dislocated her shoulder when she was doing interpretive dance in the back garden and our pit bull decided to join in.

The same dog has broken 3 different noses, given 2 concussions and dislocated a knee with his hard head.

Daughter is currently uninsured but it won’t last - she has a significant injury at least every other month.

Uninjured, not uninsured!

Slipped shaving my legs in the bath, knocked myself out and cut my head open, probably would've drowned if there had been a lock on the door, luckily there wasn't and DH was able to retrieve me from facedown in the water

Also once cracked a rib from coughing so much/hard when I had pneumonia.

I tried to do a Brazilian was at home and ripped apart outer labia from inner. Not a bad injury but so much blood I went to a and e. Embarrassment worse than pain tbf.

Wax not was

Some of these are horrific.
Mine is just stupid. I was painting my bedroom. I was standing on the top step of the ladder and overstretched to reach the top of the wall. I fell off the ladder and my ass hit the paint can. The bruise we spectacular.

Impaling myself in the knee on a model of the Eiffel Tower when I was about 8. I accidentally fell onto it. It was gory!

Nike platform soled trainers in the nineties + alcohol = 2 badly sprained ankles.

Couldn't walk at all for about a week.

@Ollivander84

Yup, that’s me. That place saved my sanity!

@Salene, bloody hell, that was from bruising?! So it killed the muscle but didn’t cause an open wound? How did the horse get to stand on you?

The edges of the bit they chopped off on mine went black so couldn’t be saved. They grafted it a week and a half after it happened with various clean up ops in between due to it being in a field, open wound, soil etc.

A few weeks after me, a mate’s sister was turning out a mare and foal, the mare bucked, both barrels to her forehead, cracked it all the way round like an egg. It took months to heal, bone graft, the lot.

Thought so! (Long term HHO)

Yeah mine was purely from a crush injury not open wound at all, caused the muscle to swell inside the compartments inside the calf and basically killed the muscle from lack of blood I think

I was bucked off my 4 year old WB and stupidly held onto the reins , so when he stepped back and felt I had his head he panicked and ran forward over the top of me standing on my leg. He was a big lad 17.2HH

The consultant at hospital said he had never in his life seen a fracture blister with no broken bones and that my leg must of been made from steel not to snap

I’ve dislocated my shoulder turning in bed, shaking out a piece of fabric and giving my DP a cuddle. Nothing grosser then feeling it move back!

Sewing machine needle straight through my thumb - was free-motion quilting, bit bored, mind wandered

Tripped over DH’s trainers on the bottom stair smashed the bottom pane of the glass front door with my head

A really stupid one - running to answer the door and my belt loop got caught on the living room door handle. I did a sort of somersault while still attached to the door handle and smacked my face on the hall table giving me 2 black eyes.

Blood and sand these pics are awful

That is mental! Did you fall in the school, maybe the bone was cushioned in the surface? Dunno how my knee wasn’t wrecked given I had the full weight of an ID on it. No breaks, nothing. The radiologists were amazed.

gulps That is horrific!

Knocked 8 teeth out when I was about 7 - went over the handle bars of my bike face first into a brick wall.

Ended up with a nail sticking out of my forehead when I was 4 - lad in our street was swinging a plank of wood round.

Found a lump in my breast and had an ultra sound and a fine needle biopsy. Consultant went to far with the needle and punctured my lung, which then collapsed. Had to have a chest drain put in.

I broke my husbands finger and chopped the end of it off by trapping it in the metal hinge of a door. He instinctively pulled, unfortunately not all of his finger came away with his hand ☹️

I tore a calf muscle doing a high kick in my living room to West Side Story

I trapped a nerve in my back teaching my dd(4) how to do the chicken wing dance. She thought collapsing on the floor was part of it

Fell of the bed and broke my toe

I was 8 trying to watch the fireworks out of my parents bedroom, we lived in flats and I was jumping on the bed, I jumped as my dad walked in and called me didn’t watch what I was doing fell over and caught my ear on side table and managed to perforate my ear drum 😕

Another time was fair,y recent, maybe a year ago. I suffer badly with pins and needles, when I woke one morning to my alarm I jumped up as I usually do, couldn’t get my balance properly as one leg had pins and needles face planted the floor and my arm landed in the bin, a metal bin which caused and awful looking bruise across my entire arm 😂
Or maybe the time I was cycling to pick my son up, had his scooter hanging off the handlebars as I usually did. One man ran across the road in front of me, scooter got stuck in wheel and I crashed into a wall and smashed my knee up 😂
