I'm known for injuring myself in odd ways. Somehow, never seriously...

Bruised shin? Aw come on. That's not newsworthy.
3 x broken arms is my headline. Age 10, 22, 42.

Bashed a rib a few weeks ago, too. Wow, damaged ribs hurt!

TanglinOrchards · 04/01/2021 20:48

Broken nose

Chipped the tip of the bone in my big toe.

Stood on a rusty nail protruding from a plank of wood.

My poor feet Sad

A hole in my forehead

Cornishmendoitdrekkly · 04/01/2021 20:51

Fractured right arm falling over in Tesco car park in 2017.
Fractured left arm falling down a step in school in 2019.
I think I may be a little clumsy. Blush

Broken leg falling off pony on the beach,
Pulled the muscle off my thigh falling off whilst jumping,
Split my chin open learning to walk,
Split my ear open on a door whilst playing rug of war with my uncle as a toddler.

slipped disk.

All in the last 10 years from playing football, except the last one which was horse riding.

Snorkelface · 04/01/2021 21:01

Three broken fingers and one broken thumb - all still a bit wonky looking
Broken elbow - so painful, screamed the place down.
Broken ribs
Broken big toe
Dislocated shoulder
Concussion

CathyorClaire · 04/01/2021 21:03

Cut above eye. Part of the affected eyebrow has never regrown which gives me an intriguingly cynical air in my dreams

Broken arm. Thanks PE teacher who made me go hand over sweaty hand on an overhead bar I knew I couldn't do.

Dislocated kneecap. 100% less slippy now I've lost weight.

Currently recovering from a sprained toe which decided to take on a wooden chair leg and lost.

Quite a few over the years. 17+ years of full contact kickboxing, thai boxing then Brazilian jiu jitsu, then add motorbike accidents in to the mix. My body is not a temple. Well, maybe a broken one.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 04/01/2021 21:14

Scratched my cornea on a kebab skewer when I was a kid. Thanks to my Dad carrying a random stack of plates with the skewers all sticking out and me barreling round a corner....
When I was 8 our primary teacher let us construct our own obstacle course in the hall. We ended up hefting the school benches around and propping them up and one fell on my foot. Oh the pain.
I have no idea why I wasn't taken to A&E. I was given and ice pack then sent home. I've had a sore instep ever since.
Big gouge taken out of my thumb by a kitchen devil. They're aptly named. It cuts across the other scar on my thumb where I was opening a can of corned beef, but I came off worse.
Permanent crunchy noises in my neck from whiplash.
Fell on my bum ice skating and couldn't sit without a heat pad for six weeks.

Sideorderofchips · 04/01/2021 21:15

2 broken fingers, grade 3 ankle sprain thst needed pinning. Another op to remove pins as I broke them. Screws in one broken finger, cracked scaphoid, two dislocated shoulders, whiplash....

Sideorderofchips · 04/01/2021 21:15

Oh and chipped ankle joint

Buzlightyear1 · 04/01/2021 21:16

Fractured skull , broken back, torn ligaments, broken tooth. Bleed on the Brian. 3rd degree burn , cut open chin, cut open top of nose and broken bone at top of nose. Torn muscle broken hip and public bone.slipped disc. And optic nerve damage . Collapsed lungs. These are obviously the major things I’ve also had a lot of minor silly things happen to. 🤦‍♀️

Buddytheelf85 · 04/01/2021 21:19

Third degree tear

Sideorderofchips · 04/01/2021 21:19

Oh yes. And a thermite burn on my thumb.

Broken ankle - Sports related
Ligament damage in both knees - Sports related
Broken 4 toes (seperately) - Sports related
Broken wrist - Sports related
Broke both thumbs and dislocated one - sports related
Broken or sprained most fingers - sports related
Sprained ankle - did that at work jumping down onto an uneven bit of grass and landing awkwardly, so bucked the trend there.

At least I’m keeping fit and healthy... Grin
