Ever been hurt sporting?

[oldmate15]

Basketball:

Countless number of sprained ankles and fingers, it really hurts.

Motorcycle racing:

Both my knees are buggered from lots of crashes and landing hard on them.

Something is wrong with my neck, about 4 years ago I had a bad crash where I nearly broke it, hit my head quite hard. Now it hurts to be sitting or standing for too long and my posture has changed a bit.

Volleyball: wasnt really an injury but it was very funny, in our HPE class we had a few teams made up, and the team I was in were quite good and we didnt ever lose. So we made it the person who was serving, versus the other team by themselves. It was my turn and I made a bad shot which got spiked back, straight into my nose. The ball went in the air, over the net and I won the point.

Hockey: I play without shoulderpads, without a mask or shield, without a teethguard. So far, no injuries. Sure, I've taken a slap shot in the face and I looked like hell the next day but I didn't leave the game.

Rugby: One one season. Bruised ribs. Didn't leave the game. I'm not counting it.

So no real injuries. Never broken anything and it's not from lack of trying. Now that I'm over 30, I notice that things take a LOT longer to heal. Twisted ankles will bug me the next week or so when they never used to.

bruised my right ankle playing croquet, sprained my left ankle playing euchre

While playing street basketball with some friends, I was hit by a garbage truck. Broke both pelvis bones and my right femur bone (the largest bone in your body). I was airlifted to the hospital... spent about 4 months in the hospital, 6 months in a body cast, then a few months on crutches. The friggin garbage truck literally ran over my legs, leaving my right leg completely covered with brown scars. I had to get a few skin grafts where they cut the skin from my left leg and put it on my right leg because scar tissue doesn't grow.

Anyways, a while after that I broke my femur bone again while playing school baseball. My doctor said the bone was fine, but the muscle was abnormally strong in one area because the truck accident altered my muscle structure. Spent 2 weeks in the hospital, 2 months in a body cast, and 2 months on crutches that time. Now I refuse to play sports, although I still can run the mile in about 8 mins.

you win. ouch.

Now that I am mature enough to understand what is right and wrong, I can look back and see what an idiot I was...

Basketball: Broken nose

Skateboarding: Broke collarbone, every toe on my right foot, and most of my fingers.

Football: Ankle problems, knee problems, back problems.

Boating: Driving dad's boat without permission, with friends, going about 45 mph, and hit the shallows (4 inches of water). Ended up flying out of the boat, along with many friends, though I was the hurt one... Messed up right ear due to pressure changes from air pressure to water pressure. Some abrasions on my scalp, that gladly, hair covers now...

I realize it's early but I'm prepared to give the award to the guy who spent a combined 8 months in a body cast. Any objections?

[pimpshiznid]

Agreed. *Bangs Gavel...* And the award for "Most serious sporting injury" goes to....

HeavyTwenty!

*Applause, many ooh's & ahh's*

[ze-newie]

Wow, HeavyTwenty, that's crazy stuff :o I'm glad you're alright now!

I just broke my right wrist in 2 places last week snowboarding. Some stupid ****** crashed into me from behind :angry: Now I can't write or play video games for 5 weeks :blink:

Many years of biking means a fair few accidents!

Things like sliding along on your hands and knee's and spending the evening with a bit of wood between your teeth picking gravel out doesn't really bother me.

It's the nasty smashes at speed that hurt, a lot. Lost control of my bike when I was 17 coming through town quite fast, I flipped the bike doing 25mph+. Landed on my right elbow which broke it into 5 pieces. My face then hit the floor I think as I broke my cheek bone. Also took out 3 ribs in that accident. I grazed from my ear to my ankle down my right side but walked to to A&E alone afterwards pulling my bike with me. I must of scared some people on the way!

4" screw in my elbow for year while it healed and a lot of time spent in various casts, slings etc. Not fun.

I don't ride very hard anymore.

I will never play rugby again. Played twice, broke thumb twice. Lesson learned!

[Chris Allen Veteran]

Hockey - intentionally run and nearly torn the ACL and LCL (hanging on by a thread), seperated shoulder (x2), 3 level 2 concussions (black-outs)

Baseball - broken nose (x2), dislocated kneecap, countless jammed fingers

Volleyball - shattered ring finger/knuckle on my left hand as well as torn cruciate ligaments on said finger.

*edit* knees are eternally screwed from being run in hockey as well as running stairs for volleyball. should have to have surgery by the time i'm 40, so says physio.

[Schmoove]

During soccer practice I got injured. My right knee was full of blood, I couldn't bend my knee anymore.

[brianicoleman]

3) pulled muscle and scraped and bruised knee in a recent bonerball "accident"

4) broken thumb from baseball practice...i get the cast off next tuesday

I think that some of you people don't get enough calcium.

Milk, it does a body good!

[Ex_Nihilo]

Basketball is the only sport I've played seriously, and I've been pretty lucky as far as that's concerned. Thus far I've sprained both of my ankles, pulled a hamstring, and screwed up my neck (cement floors are not very forgiving).

[Fubalastic Fantaculist]

i have broken both ears. hearing was very limited for weeks. i do not wish it upon anyone because it was so awful. i was also thrown into a seizure and had a concussion by being kicked in the back of the head. (playing leap frog) thats about all.

[Wannes]

Yea I have but I am nothing compared to my son:

// Broken ribs

// 2 shoulders popped out

// knee had problems.

All because of rugby. :shifty:

-Couch Potato?

[Scribbller]

Dont ask me what happened i am a wicket keeper from Islamabad's side I was keeping and oops ball bounced just short of me and bang into my balls, couldnt get up for half an hour.

[youm0nt Veteran]

sprained ankles and currently, an over stretched tendon under my ankle from running.

[matt74441]

I've never been hurt sporting, but I nailed a guy in the back with a golf ball once.
