Injuries

[Bang Bang]

Have you ever had any accidental experiences that you like to share with the forums? Well this is the place for it.

I was about 7-8 years old and I was riding my bicycle, I tried to go into the sidewalk but the front wheel went crazy on me and I went flying over my bicycle. I didn’t have a shirt on or anything to protect me so the road burned me up pretty good, I thought I had lost my male nipples. My upper lip was also injured. I had to take penicillin for a whole month.

lol injures. wow lets see.....

8 years old:

There is this black top hill at my elementary school. I fell at the very top and slide all the way down. My knee had lost most its skin and the same with my elbows. I had humongous scabs there for months.

14 years old:

Was riding my bike, my shoe lace un-tied, went into my chain and yanked me off my bike. Shuving the gear from the bike into my foot. I was constantly bleeding and i couldn't function my left foot. So, i hopped home on one foot leaving my bike at home hoping no one would steal it. I still have a pivot in my ankle.

16 years old:

Me and my friends decided to go to frys electronics after school with my friends van. My friend was being a stupid noob and was in the middle of the road. Some guy in a truck wasn't watching crap and hit us head on. My face flew right into the seat and jacked up my face and nose. I didn't go to school the next day because it looked like i got beat up. My nose has a perminate angle to it.

19 years old:

I was putting on my rollerblades to get home. What can i say, it was an easy way of getting home. Then i didn't relize the gate had swong open and i hit the lock on the gate at full speed. I must have scrapped or took out of chunk of skin on my scalp because all of a sudden my face was covered in blood. Some guy in a truck even stopped and asked if i was ok. But, i went home and checked to see if any liquid was coming out of my ears or nose. Nope. So, i went to sleep.

That covers all i can remember.

Too many to count. My body is a roadmap of pain. I have been acquainted with the night. I am... JOHNNY LONG-TORSO, JOHNNY LONG-TORSO, THE MAN WHO COMES IN PIECES!

I have fallen twenty-two feet yes that is 22 feet or however many yards...blah. I was cutting off limbs with a chainsaw when the bough below me snapped. It was rotten and I hadn't noticed. I got cut on my left thigh by the chainsaw, which thankfully turned off due to the dead man's switch. I landed on my feet but they folded up and then landed on my duff. When to the ER and then couldn't walk for a month.

I was bit by a black widow spider. Pure hell for two days and impure hell for the next three weeks. Yay, Latrodectism.

Let's see.. I've probably had more pain illness wise than actual injury, so I won't go into that as that's too much to say and completely off topic ><.

Probably one of the most painful injuries would be to my tailbone, which I now have permanant nerve damage in.

It was actually a practical joke gone wrong. The kind where somebody pulls the seat out from underneath you before you sit, and you're supposed to plonk nicely to the ground.

But that kinda didn't happen ><. They pulled the chair out at a bit of an angle, and I had sat down with quite some force, and the plastic/metal corner slammed into my tailbone. I was on hardcore painkillers for that for a couple of years, but I've learnt to deal with it since.

But I can't sit in a carseat for more than 2 hours, and I'm not as flexible as I used to be =(

I havn't had anything overly exciting.

But once I never used to clean my room and I had everything all over the ground and I was running around and I have flat feet so my whole foot hits the ground. So I ran onto a power plug and one of the metal bits that goes into the wall went straight into my foot. I didn't think anything of it so I shook it out and kept going which caused it to rip open. Then I checked it and it was bleeding everywhere. I couldn't walk on it for ages.

Other then that one time I fell over on to this chunk of random cement with gravel in it that no one cared about at my Primary School (you had to walk up it and it was on a slope) I cut my arm and got gravel rash on my hand.

Other then that I have had a lot of pain and other things because I was a premature baby and i've already started to develop arthitus but that's another story

I got tripped over at school, my glasses were scratched, my hands, arms, knees and legs were scrapped of the skin, etc...

I can't really think of any other time when I was hurt badly accidentally... I've tripped up and down stairs before and been in car accidents. Bah. But nothing too serious, though, everyone lived.

I hurt myself so often as a child.

Let's see.

One time, I was rolling down the hill in my front yard and I smacked my head against the corner of one of the stone steps. Busted it right open, and they had to sit me in the bathtub to bandage it all up.

Another time, I was on the floor of my classroom cleaning up with the dust pan and there were two boys fighting over the broom behind me. I turned to see the noise, and they hit me right beneath the eyebrow with the corner of the broom. I bled everywhere, cried a lot, and had to go in for stitches. Still have that scar. I'm lucky it didn't hit any lower.

Then, there was the time I was running down the hill in my backyard to catch a turtle of all things. I tripped, hit my knee on a rock, cut it open. I still have the scar, and I was at no older than five or six when it happened. On the same knee, I have another from when I was trying to do a trick on the swing set and ended up dragging my legs across the ground instead.

Then there's my nose. I was sitting on the playground dome and decided it would be great if I could hook my legs around the horizontal bar and swing through the triangular opening like a monkey. I did it on impulse and smashed my face against the bars. The bridge of my nose got sliced open. I needed stitches that time too, but I got a butterfly bandage instead. Still have that scar too. It's just raised skin like the rest, though. Nothing hardcore.

Ahaha and then a few years ago, I fell while walking down a hill and scraped my arm up. I wanted help, but everyone was drunk so I just hung out in the bathroom and washed it over and over again. You can still see that one too, though I'm hoping it will fade eventually.

I've never broken a bone, but I've done some shit to my arm. Once, I got it stuck in an elevator door while trying to hold it open. I must have been no more than three. Another time, I held my arm out while my mother was closing the car door and sprained my wrist. I couldn't go swimming! In the summer! UGH!

There are others, but they're not as significant.

Sooo no incredibly serious injuries. Just plenty of silly ones. It could have been a lot worse. I did some stupid things as a child.

[VidenTheColdOne]

Nothing too bad but..

I have fallen off the side of the same flight of stairs 3 times, one time badly injuring my leg. It swelled up and i walked with a limp for months

I got really bad sunburn all over my back and couldent stand straight for a month, that hurt!

I fell and cut the web between my thumb and index finger almost off

i got a nail almost through the foot

got a nail almost through my hand

Got hit in the head with a brick

fell off the top of a jungle gym onto hard concrete

im sure i could think of more, but this is making me hurt, lowl

There was one incedent where in grade 4 I was running to my mom's car with my arms full so by accident I fell forhead first on to the road pavement. But my head was okay. No brain damages.

[Bekki]

Not to serious ones, but I have sprained my ankle a few times one time I was on my bike and riding down on a slope. I looked back and my tyre was at the side of the pavement and managed to fall of my bike. Went to the local libary and got cleaned up. I wasn't to hurt, but it was after school so it was more of an embarssement than anything else, which now I have the scar just above my right eye to prove it.

Too many injuries....
Most recent were another concussion (I've had more than my fair share), and something with my shoulder. Not sure but it gave me grief for a couple days.

Biggest marks I have are a scar on my hand from a light bulb I accidentally crushed while holding. Used anti-scarring cream, must have missed a spot.
As well as a scar on my left shoulder. Didn't have any cream left...
And one on my gut.... I was out for a while....
But I don't expect to be so injury prone for a bit now...

[dimmufan]

Let's see here. I've had quite a few serious injuries.

There have been 6 times when I had to have stitches on my head: 4 on my scalp and one for each eyebrow. There was another time when I was about to open a door just as somebody was coming through from the other side. I think they were in a hurry too coz they opened the door very quickly and bashed my left eyebrow. It left a deep gash. It was good enough to have stitches but I didn't get any. I now carry a scar that goes a little deep into my eyebrow.

There was another time when I was working in the family tile business. A customer wanted tile instead of carpet so we went in and tore out all the carpet. I was using a scraper to get some carpet glue off the floor. The blade was starting to get dull and not scraping as efficiently. I hit this one particular glue spot and the blade got stuck. I pushed and pushed until the blade finally got through the glue, only to end up about 2 centimeters into my big toe on the right foot. I shoulda wore shoes instead of sandals that day.

One time when I was working at U-Haul I got shot in the mouth by a pellet gun. The pellet pierced my bottom lip and knocked out the canine tooth on the lower jaw on the left side. It broke clean off right at the gumline. The root stayed. I guess I got strong roots.

In sixth grade I twisted my right knee during football practice. In seventh grade I twisted my left knee during a football game.

When I was about 4 or 5 years old, I jumped into a sandpit. It was about a 4 foot jump. Add that to the height of my 2 foot jump. (because I raised my legs.) Bad move. I ended up with a long-assed nail embedded clean through my right foot. That still hurts me just thinking about it.

There was this one time back in February when I dislocated my right thumb. I was working at a local bowling alley as a mechanic on the pinsetters. On one particular pair of lanes the belt that returns the ball wasn't aligned properly and the belt kept coming off. I stopped the machine, put the belt back on, and then turned the pinsetter back on so that the bowling balls could be returned to the customers. As the balls were going back, I noticed the belt was still a little bit off centered. I reached my hand in there to center it up the rest of the way when a ball came, pushing the belt up. It grabbed my hand and pulled it all the way around the pulley. My thumb ended up getting dislocated and fractured. I popped my thumb back into place right there on the spot. The fracture has since healed but the pain from the dislocation still bothers me to this day.

There was this one time back when I was a skater, I was attempting a heelflip on my skateboard. I guess I popped the board wrong coz it went perpendicular on me. When my body came back down I landed on the nose of the board right in my crotch. I split open my sack. I also have another injury from skatboarding. I was attempting a fakie kickflip. I landed so very wrong. My board stopped right at landing and it sent me flying to the concrete. I scraped a bit of my cheek on the driveway. To this day there is a small patch of skin that does not produce any facial hair.

These are just a few that I can remember right now. Out of all these injuries, I only saw the doctor for the stitches.

I had a bicycle injury too. It was when I was 8, I stacked it somehow and somehow my thigh got stabbed really deeply by a sharp branch. It was a very deep cut, so much so that now 12 years later the scar from it can still be found, only quite recently has it started to disappear as only 4 years ago I remember the scar being as clear as day.

I tend to be very good at tolerating pain, so sometimes I go to stupid extents to prove how awesome I am at it. I was in class with 2 of my mates sitting next to me and I was bored, so I opened a case of staplers that was sitting in front of me and started scraping them down my arm so create long bleeding lines down the top of my forearm. My mates decided to see if they could hurt me and started doing it themselves, on my arm. Soon I ended up with about 20 huge lines of bleeding cuts all the way down my forearm. the before the teacher could see I just put my sleeve down and continued with my day like nothing happened, of course I had to use tissues now and then to wipe up the blood, that was about, 7 years ago and there are still are few very clear scars down my forearm forever reminding my of that strange experience.

Lastly while in a sparring match at Teakwondo I was paired with a Black Belt. (Me only being Blue Belt). I knew already that this was a bad idea and sure enough halfway into the duel he kicked my extreamly hard right on the pinky finger. There was a loud crack and from then on my pinky finger looked like strange deformed kind of thing. It still works, It's just I can't fully straighten it and it looks significantly different from my good pinky finger.
