    One moderate concussion in primary school from a jackass kid basically DDT'ing me on the concrete (it wasn't a fight or anything, he just ran up from beside me and went for the leaping headlock). Probably a couple undiagnosed ones since then from wrestling training.

    Other than that, I nearly broke my ankle once. Was getting over a 10 foot chain fence (for work, so it was all legal) and slipped. Ended up getting hung by one foot - still don't have full mobility back in that leg, can't get my knee forward worth a damn.

    Also nearly lost one ball but that story isn't half as amusing or terrifying as it sounds.

    edit: I'm also missing 3 toenails from injuries/surgery to fix them. Relatively minor though. Except for the time they forgot about the local anaesthetic. That kinda hurt.

    broke my arm when I was 3, broke a window, and cut my other arm when I was 11, nothing too serious I guess, crashed a few ATVs, been knocked out, cracked a rib.

    Shattered right femur. Required metal plate in my leg for over a year, has since been removed with the exception of 2 screws and a pin that the bone grew around, which will be stuck in there for life. It still randomly clicks sometimes, fucking painful man.

    I broke my metacarpal (index finger knuckle bit) bone in an enthusiastic fist pump a couple of years ago.

    Luckily I never injured myself critically, but back when I was like 12 or 13 years old I did a bad jump from a height place playing in my backyard and a hurt my hand pretty bad (I tried to hang on something to avoid the fall and that result in a nasty large cut in the middle of my hand).
    Sounds worse than it was... I walk out from the local first aid clinic with five stitches tho :/

    Lets see, when I was seven I was playing hot lava floor and put my foot through a glass table, needed 13 stiches. When I was 13 I got hit by a car and broke both bones in my right calf.

    My face is a magnet for pain. There is a dent in the upper right part of my forehead (not visible due to my hair) that is a little bit bigger than a bee-bee pellet (Or whatever you call them) from when I hit that spot about once a year for 4 years in a row from ages 6-10, and every-time it busted my head open. I don't know if I believe it but supposedly if I hit that spot ever again really really bad and I don't bleed then there is a huge chance that my brain could suffocate from blood, but that was so long ago I don't know if that still applies. I also have a scar under my bottom lip (thankfully also not visible because of my fat lips ^.^) from where I fell down the stairs at age 12 and my top teeth went through that spot, and made contact with the teeth from my bottom jaw. So now I have a scar that PERFECTLY matches my two front teeth. Also one more scar under my jaw (invisible because I keep a beard... Some people think I look weird with a beard, but it covers the scar ^.^) from when I fell off the monkeybar dome and hit my jaw on the monkeybar under me. That one was the least painful, but left the worst scar. Sorry if I disturbed anyone I was just adding to the thread about my personal injuries ^.^

    I have also broke my middle toe before and that kind of made it a little twisted and makes it hard to run as fast, but that is not quite so bad in comparison.

    I had a 6in. piece of fiberglass cut through my right palm and a third of my forearm. It happened 2 years ago, near Christmas, as a freak accident involving fixing windows on my old house.
    The fucked up side effect to this is I can't move my hand (not sure if physical or psychological) whenever the temperature gets to be 40 degrees or below.
    At all. It's a but fucked up, knowing I'm severely reduced in cold weather.

    I tore a back muscle lifting weights while doing a light cool-down set. I felt the muscle separate but the pain was delayed by about 20 minutes, was in the shower and suddenly had a pain rush and crumpled up on the floor.

    Never figured out what went wrong, I think I looked down while lifting which stressed the back muscle. I was off exercise for a month, now I'm obsessive with proper form and diet :\

    When I was still in school I worked part-time at a supermarket for extra money, this was..... 8 years ago. So anyway, I was working in the store room between 4 pallets. My colleague was driving the fork lift and accidentally rammed the first pallet, which then rammed all the other pallets together, making them connect and caught my foot/ankle along with it.

    The sound of "crushing" is never a good sign, I was already in a lot of pain and to think my bones were crushing just made the whole process 10x worse.

    Once we cleared everything, and I got ready to go Hospital, we took a look at the pallets and it turns out my foot was the one doing the crushing those pallets got destroyed hehe.

    Surprisingly, I've never actually broken a bone.
    The worst injury I've ever had would have to be almost breaking my back when I was 6 years old. For some reason I decided to walk around the upper part of the balcony on the small ledge and tried to balance myself with another friend. Sadly, a bee happened to buzz by me and since I fucking hated bee's I lost balance and fell onto the lower part of the balcony on some stone stairs. My back was extremely red and pulsing with veins, but the doctor said I was lucky to not have paralyzed myself, as breaking a bone in the back would cause that. I did wear a small back brace under my shirt to heal the wounds, though.

    Worst injury I attained was a triangular deep cut to the top of my hand near the wrist after being bit by a bitch. Actually, the last part is a lie, it was actually my ex who threw an ornamental dog at me and in self-defence, I had raised my arm. Blood was pissing out everywhere and the only sympathy I got was, "Stop bleeding all over my new kitchen units!". 15 stitches I needed. Embarrassingly, I passed out when the stitches were removed. However, the scar is still prominent and it looks like a "V" for victory. I ditched her not long after - she had a temper I just couldn't contend with.
