broken bones?

[The Dude]

I've yet to break a bone either, although i've been hit by a car before, also had the luxury when I was 10 of swinging on scaffolding which was about 8-10ft up slipping and falling into the pavement face first and only coming out of it with a bloodied nose.

Used to get hit in the face all the time in sparring for martial arts, still no breakages.
Im hoping it continues, but sods law says i'll end up breaking something in the most moronic way in the future.

Another thing ive noticed is that everytime a kid/teen breaks or cracks his bone or something bad with his or her bone the parent NEVER believes them at first until you bitch long enough that they will take you to the hospitle.

Yeah i noticed that too, my brother jsut recently broke his arm in a motorbike crash and my mom and dad didn't take him to the doctors untill like 4 days later cause they got sick of him complaining.

I broke my ankle in two places when I was 13ish. At that time, I liked to watch wrestling. When we got a video camera, we would be stupid kids with it and make shows. Most of them made fun of the kind of people you'd see on Jerry Springer and shows like that.

One of them was a wrestling show, where we'd play "wrestle" (hit each other in the head with crayola crayon briefcases and various stupid stuff like that). One day, when we were getting tired of a match, my friends were sitting on the couch and I was winding up with a large pillow to give it a big toss onto them. While I was doing that, a blanket was wrapping itself around my ankle with every turn.

So when I let go of the pillow to have it hit them, I fell, but my ankle didn't. What followed was the sound of a bat breaking, and me insisting for about 2 hours that my ankle was broken while my parents refused to believe me. I finally did go to the hospital and they had to x-ray me twice to find the break. A lot of crappy stuff happened there, like one of my veins gushing blood out when they tried to put an IV in me or how they left the alcohol pad on my shoulder which made me inhale a lot of fumes and become all disoriented.

The funny thing was, we had the tape. The doctors thought it was hilarious but the sound that played every time it broke still haunts me. After I got home, I ripped the tape up and burned it. To this day I have severe problems standing in place on it.

Was playing on the playground when I was 7, climbing some bars. Didn't realize that at the top, they had another bar where you can grab to stabilize yourself as I jumped for the top. Slammed into it, fell onto the bars below, slid through and hit the gravel. Sucked like hell. Went to the doctor, he told me to just not put pressure on it as it was broken.

So that night, at my grandparents' house for dinner, my brother and I (he's 4 years older than me) were playing catch with a football while my parents and grandparents played cards. My brother did the dick thing and threw it at me while I wasn't looking. "Think fast!!" "Wha--*BAM*" Broke it further. What would've taken one month to heal took three. I looked like a fucking Klingon. D: Thankfully, my grandma beat his ass so hard 'cause she knew he did it on purpose. XD

the sound of that crunching bone sends a shiver down my spine, god i hate that noise

[Archelon]

i bet that hurt like a bitch

Yeah, there was a really loud crunching sound, too. My finger swelled up to about 3 times its normal size.

I have yet to break a bone, but I did dislocate the top knuckle of my right middle finger. I didn't know what was wrong with it at the time, but it was bent at about a 45 degree angle. So I grabbed it with my left hand and popped it back into place.

Only later did I find out that you're not supposed to do that. At least not by yourself, anyway.

I have never broken a single bone. Except when I was born, I broke my collar bone.

[Spera01]

The left one, I broke while sparring in Tae-Kwon-Do class with my brother. He threw a kick and I tried to catch it. I was a little off and his foot went in between my ring and middle fingers and twisted, breaking the middle and index metacarpals.

Wow, I broke my hand almost the same way except instead of it being my brother, it was my friend, and instead of it being my left hand, it was my right. We were fighting (I forget the exact reason why) and he went to kick me and I went to try to grab it with my hand.... Shattered my index finger and part of my hand... Was not fun.

[TheBlackMamba]

hmmm well, i've never techincall "broke" a bone but

Dislocated Finger
Haha this one is funny, I reached in to steal the ball and I dislocated it, didn't hurt, just stung. So then the trainer popped it back in and that's when it hurt lol

Torn Tendon on my Right index finger
Grrr I don't even know how that one happened, it just came out of nowhere, I noticed my finger was swelling up and I was like wtf?!

Hyperextended left elbow
Argh this one is so old I forgot it happened lol

[Helegad]

Dislocated my little toe. I have a picture, but I dunno whether anybody would like to see it. It's stuck out at about 45 degrees

What happened was I was riding my bike past some sorta flowerbox outside an apartment block, and my little toe got caught on the edge of it. I was lucky it didn't "break", as such.

[REmaster]

Nope, no broken bones here. *knocks on wood*
Although I did have a serious sprain about 9 years ago...the doctor said I would have probably been better off breaking it
It happened when I fell into a an empty concrete tunnel (12 ft drop) one time. It was right before the first day of summer school back in my sophomore year of highschool. I was with 3 other guys and a girl, and they were all taking turns jumping acoss this huge concrete drain ditch/tunnel thing. They ended up daring me...and of course I had to do it to impress the girl...WHY!? So,I was running to jump to the other side but I suddenly had second thoughts at the last second and tried to stop, but it was too late lol. So, I ended up jumping half ass to the otherside, and smacked my face right into the concrete wall (which scrapped a peice of my nose off) then I proceeded to fall to the bottom. I hit the ground with such a force that my shoes blew off and flew through the air . I remember one of the kids that was with me looking down at my body and saying "God, we're all going to hell" lol. I crawled out of the ditch...no one helped than tried to limp back to school but I couldn't make it.

I laid in a field outside of a church, with one guy who stayed behind with me. He called the school and told them that we were stranded and that I needed help, but the principal said that he couldn't send anyone, and that we would be repeating sophomore year if we couldn't make it to summer school. Eventually he told a woman in the church that I hurt my foot, and I told her that all I wanted was some ice for the swelling, I didn't want to make a big scene because I knew my parents were going to flip the fuck out...me not being at school, my foot being f'ed, the medical bills, repeating sophomore year lol. Well, next thing I know an ambulance shows up and takes me away, and the guy who stayed with me gets to be the cool kid riding to school on a fire truck So, in the end I got a brace, had to use crutches for 3 months, and nice 5 year-plan for highschool

Im one of the lucky people to have never broken a bone, but i did hurt myself real bad one day when i was chasing my brother and kicked a door really hard and almost ripped my two little toes out from my foot! It hurt so bad and was made worse by the fact that my nanna (i was at my grandma's home) hates hospitals and she decided to try and fix it herself, and actually succeded in doing so but i would have rathered go to the doctor anyway.

This post made my feet hurt...
