To ask what’s the most ridiculous injury you’ve given yourself?

[Fallinleaves]

I’ll start… 3 days ago I took a chunk out of my thumb whilst putting my socks on because I had a really rough toenail I hadn’t noticed. It’s like a paper cut but worse! Still hurts, still stings with everything that touches it 3 days on 😭. Please make me feel better….

Noooo! 🙈

Sorry...I should have put a warning ⚠️

Tow cometo mind!

1. I'd just bought a new kitchen knife and, while chopping onions with it, started to lecture the family about how new knives are dangerous because you need to get used to the feel of them...and then cut the end of my own finger off.

2. I'd just got over 18 months of trigger thumb - which is more inconvenient and restricting than you'd think (food prep, driving even). I was at a meeting for my hobby group and as usual, I and one other kind person were the usual mugs who arrive early to put up the tables. The other woman couldn't pull the leg of the table out, so I had a go and did my thumb in again. No-one to blame but myself!

How long did it take for the nail to grow back? My big toe nails have dropped off due to running 🏃‍♀️

I caught my hand in a treadmill. While it was moving. My nephew also broke his nose taking a sock off.

It's okay, I looked anyway. I'm a glutton for punishment. 😅 That looks soo painful! 😬

It's a while back now, but I think it might have been the best part of a year, possibly longer. I honestly can't remember, sorry. It happened in March of that year, and I wanted to wear sandals in the warm weather as my feet get very hot in summer, so I had to get a set of those fake toenails and glue the big ones on, then I just painted all my toenails in a pale, neutral colour. That way unless you were looking very closely which only a perve would try you couldn't tell anything was amiss. The glue kept them in place well but I had to keep reapplying it regularly. Sexy it wasn't.

I tried to pull the duvet up half asleep and punched myself in the face. And I fell over and dislocated my thumb, at A&E they kept asking me how I did it.

Duvets should come with a public health warning on them.

Broke my hip and shoulder on my dominant side just from tripping on the pavement. Then was too scared to go to hospital so lay on the floor for 24 hours having been carted back to my house in a trolley. Eventually I relented and went in the ambulance!

I broke my toe the other month just from going up the stairs with no shoes on.

I gave myself a black eye when I tripped in heels on the ice at 3am. Strangely it didn't hurt. Looked horrendous though!

Popped a tendon over my collarbone by doing up a bra.
Took about 8 months to go back to normal.

Accidentally shaved my nipple whilst shaving my armpit. Makes me wince just writing that.

Eek! 😬

Also, I punched myself in the face this weekend trying to yank a broom out of the shed. I was too lazy to try and dislodge it from all the crap on top of it so just kept tugging it to try and free it. I freed it eventually. Right into my eye socket.

I'm reminded why I'm leccy shaver only!

I think about it EVERY time I shave my armpits 🤮

In my foolish youth I have made the error of leaving hair removing cream on too long under my arms. That was so painful. I had keep my arms up, like I was pretending to flap my wings, for several days while it healed. Ouchy ouchy.

watching a particularly long tv programme and so because I was sat in the same place for too long (it was a gripping drama whodunnit) I got really bad cramp leapt up to walk around the room, stumbled and broke a bone in my foot and fractured my leg.

went for all the tests in case it was to do with osteo or anything similar and no it wasnt it was literally just bad luck.

when I was about 4, playing marbles, walking backwards I fell off of a wall 2 bricks high and shattered my collarbone.

Oh and at the same age had a wooden stick in my mouth pretending to play the trumpet in a marching band and marched into a wall embedding the stick in the roof of my mouth and causing a huge amount of damage. my mum was livid.

I was holding a pen in my mouth. Not side ways but the other way. Anyway I quickly bent down and I somehow knocked the pen right in to my mouth and the lid scratched the roof of my mouth. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Oh I forgot the best one of my stupid accidents! filled up a hot water bottle in my cold flat straight from the kettle. squeezed it like you do to get the air out and was a little too enthusiastic so the boiling water spurted all over my chest and caused burns. Had to go to casualty and saw them all sniggering just a little bit at the stupid way I had burned myself.

Burnt my bare arse on a pair of hair straighteners…🙄

Didn't see a step leaving a shop so landed heavy on my foot and broke a metatarsal

When pregnant with my last baby it was really hot and whilst ironing i managed to run the bottom of the iron across my belly. The burn was awful!

I caught my hoop earring at the top of my ear, on the top of a car door as I was getting in. Didn't realise, and then sat down, ripping the earring clean through my ear. There was A LOT of blood, a trip to A&E including a 15 hour wait, and a dozen stitches. To be fair to the MaxFax chap he did a brilliant job and you wouldn't know unless you look really carefully, but I shan't be getting it re pierced! 😱
All from not really thinking about what I was doing...

I'm an amateur boxer. I've dabbled in MMA fighting. I'm a weightlifter.

I have permanent injuries that I've accrued over the years and I always have a handful of acute injuries, cuts, bruises and scrapes.

But I've never, ever experienced pain like I had last year. A constant dull ache in my lower back which flared up a little on every breath in, and rose to absolute agony if I moved more than 2mm incorrectly.

I got this pain while I was singing "You are my sunshine" to the dog and doing some very miniscule dance moves on key words.

Ridiculous.
