To ask for your weirdest injury?

[Confrontayshunme]

Sitting in A&E with a fish bone stuck in my throat (thanks high protein lunch) and wondering if anyone else has had such a dumb reason for A&E visit.

The last time I was in A&E, I smashed my finger in one of those pedal tractors at a petting farm.

My MIL broke her knee because a random dog chased a ball into her.

I know you guys will be able to entertain me during the 2hr43min wait (approximately).

Broke one arm after slipping on a slug in the back garden.
Went to the urgent care, got the arm put in cast etc.
When (now ex) H returned from the business trip two days after, he could not believe that someone could break an arm like that so I decided to re-enact the scene.
Yup, broke my second arm. In addition, saw the same nurse in the urgent care.
She was clearly exhausted, and probably considered for some time that she is hallucinating.
Don't repeat this at home.

Sprained ankle playing netball.

Ordinary enough, you might think. But it was not because of something that happened in the game - it was due to jumping up and down in annoyance at the umpire’s decision, and landing badly!

I tore a ligament in my neck during a seizure. I had never had a seizure before or since, completely unexplained. I got off the floor wondering why I was surrounded by people staring at me and asking me if I was ok, and why the hell my neck hurt so much. Weirdly I felt absolutely fine apart from my neck.

When I first went to Africa, one morning I left my hotel to walk across the road to the game reserve. What I thought was the zebra crossing was actually a herd of zebra. As I walked across their backs my brand new stilettos must have dug into their flesh because they kicked, bucked and but me to hell.

When I was about 7, my dad (accidently) catapulted me off a seesaw (height/weight ration was very off!). Went his end went down, I just couldn't hang on and just took off into the air.

I managed to break my wrist falling over in a ballet lesson.

I dropped a scalpel into the top of my foot (arts related job).

I was ironing an outfit to wear to go out one night and slipped and ironed a line across my stomach (it bisected my belly button perfectly).

I chipped a tooth on the radiator slipping out of the bath. Just a tooth mind you as I went over with my mouth open ‘aargh’ and impaled the tooth on the radiator. Chipped the radiator down to bare metal. Not sure the dentist believed me.

And ended up looking battered by falling onto concrete and not putting my hands out. Landed on my face. The amount of people’s who clearly didn’t believe me when I said fell.., it did sound pretty lame.

Aahhhhh@Laiste! That makes sense! Thank you!

I broke my foot watching DH run a
marathon. I was actually just standing there and my foot slipped sideways on a manhole cover. As I was wearing flip flops my big toe got pulled sideways so hard that a bone in my foot broke. The A&E consultant was quite impressed as had only ever seen that injury on a finger that’s been bent back before.

I also fell over the dog in the kitchen, and somehow fell out of the open back door and down a step onto the patio. Broke my wrist. Dog was fine.

Oh that fish bone thing is soooo annoying. I was convinced mine wS still there for like weeks after but I think it as just scratched my throat.

Didn’t go to A&E for this but an uncooked grain of long grain rice got stuck down a fingernail, vertically!! It bloody killed! 😩😩

I once shut the car door - forgetting that my other hand was still in it - and my finger basically popped. It was disgusting. I should probably (definitely) have got it checked out, but I didn't. I just popped a plaster on. I was lucky it didn't get infected. It did scar, though.

Spent ages taking out my contact lenses when drunk, then fainted when I realised I wasn’t wearing any.

Picked up a heavy rucksack when abroad and ripped off my big toenail.

Came out of the shower, opened bathroom door, dog was lying there, did giant leap to avoid stepping on dog, smacked face into wall on opposite side of the (narrow) hallway, then slid down the wall face first, radiator slicing most of my nostril in the process.

I bent down too quickly next to a free standing radiator and slashed my vagina open. Front to back. That hurt. I had builders downstairs and all I could shout in the way of help was "I've hurt my leg". Never ever had pain like it. Ended up in hospital. Obviously.

I've name changed for this as so many people know the story. I one got two strong magnets stuck up my nose. One in each nostril stuck together through the centre bit. The doctors in A&E laughed a lot before they helped me They did reassure new that I wasn't the first case they'd seen though!

I ended up in hospital because I thought I had appendicitis. Turned out to constipation. I was in for two days I realised that I was fine 4 hours after being admitted but was too embarrassed to admit it.

I took a chunk out of my ear on a rosebush while out running. I swear it jumped out at me! I had to stop and go home as it wouldn't stop bleeding. Only a tiny chunk but I was hot so it bled.

Bastard lump of an English bulldog raced me downstairs (thinking she was getting fed), ran into my path and tripped me up.
I fell down about 4 steps and landed on my hip on the tiled floor.

Fractured hip. Which needed pins.
She was very cautious when I got home from the hospital.

Loved that lump

My best friend broke my thumb during hockey at secondary school. She hit me with the stick.
She was an aggressive player, and saw me with the ball and tried to tackle me to score. We were on the same bloody team.
Nearly 25 years later she has apologised frequently and is ashamed

I got a fish bone stuck in my throat too! Thanks to boneless fish cakes..

Hope you're ok today @Confrontayshunme, I got given my fishbone stuck to an envelope with sellotape as a momento

Bold fail in that last post 🙄

We used to own horses that were grazing on 5 acres of land, one day part of our corale had been smashed up and there were a few planks of wood lying on the floor well stood 15 year old me walked straight over them with out looking and I stood on a 6 inch rusty nail and basically nailed myself to the plank of wood going straight through my foot

I have NC for this very outing .

While grooming a grouchy horse he decided he had had enough and bite the side of my knee and picked me up and banged my head on his stable wall knocking me out . My knee was stiff and sore for weeks after , I still have a small patch of skin that has no sensation .

About three years later

Riding my push bike , a car came out of a junction on my left ( i had the right of way) I could not stop so I hit the drivers side wing > roof> boot> kerb diagonally over the car.
4 inch fractured to my scull , broken collar bone , broken fingers , three broken ribs , and was knocked out for about 20 mins , splayed out in the middle of a very busy road very fortunately the van that was behind me did not run me over . I was kept in hospital for two days as I kept on asking for some one that had died when I was a kid .
I went back to the spot a few days later , god knows why and saw the vans tyre tracks where he had braked . I threw up on the spot !
I was wearing a helmet at the time , it was when cycle helmets had just come out and I felt like a prat wearing it but I am bloody sure I would not be here today if I did not have it on.

Not actually injured but a few years ago my mad mutt charged into the back of my knee sending me sprawling into a very large very muddy puddle, I had to walk almost two miles back home freezing cold and spitting out bits of mud.

I post here on behalf of my dad, who managed to badly dislocate a finger, requiring a big dressing to splint it, which made sure everyone asked what terrible thing had happened.

And what was the terrible thing that had happened? He'd fallen asleep in the armchair in his own front room.

This should be a warning to us all. I'm typing this while lying down in bed. Better safe than sorry, I say...

The other day I was at a fancy beautician place getting a very expensive hydra facial. When it was over, and I went to sit up and get off the bed, I clumsily fell off the bed sideways and literally face planted the floor! Knocked over a trolly full of equipment as well!

It was one of the most embarrassing things ever. I had to laugh it off, but deep down my knee and hip were killing me and I'm now sporting some nasty bruises!

Funny story to tell now though!
