Dislocated left ankle. Had to have it pinned back in place. That hurt a bit. Went over on my other ankle last night iv snapped all the tendons which smarts a bit. Thats absolutely nowt compared to my old fatha who has terminal lung and brain cancer and is living off oromorf. Poor fecker.
 


Dislocated my knee. Needed a piece cutting out between the 2 bones and also my kneecap adjusting. I couldn't walk for 10 weeks until the op then afterwards I had a limp for about 3 months.

It didn't hurt much :lol:
 
Not really a visible injury but sciatica caused through work. That was back in 1997 and I've niver done a hard days graft since.
 
A doctor accidentially ruptured my esophagus during a procedure on a broken leg. 5 weeks in coma and 3 months in hospital. A year to recover.
 
Snapped a tendon in my finger. In the scheme of things a nothing injury and it didn't hurt at all.

The pain came from embarrassment. The hospital staff thought I was hard case who'd snapped the tendon thumping someone (the most common cause of the injury). I had to admit I'd done it rearranging soft furnishings in preparation for my mam visiting.
 
In the late 70s I snapped my left ankle and ruptured my left knee ligaments skiing in Italy on a school trip as a 13 year old after some twat from Cambridge couldn't stop and ploughed into me. My ski should have ejected from my boot but didn't and just stuck in the snow so my leg got wrenched in all directions as I went arse over tit.

I didn't even get a stretcher down the mountain. They made me travel down THREE chairlifts by myself in severe pain with a broken ankle to the ambulance waiting at the bottom. The bizarre thing was the ambulance had to wait 30 mins for another casualty, a young lass from Liverpool who also broke her leg shortly after me and she had the same surname as me.

I spent 3 nights in an Italian hospital after that. The two teachers on our trip didn't even bother to visit me for the first two days in there so I was by myself, bricking it as nobody spoke English. These days you could claim thousands for what I went through but in them days I got nowt.

A cautionary tale for anyone thinking of emigrating from Suddick to The South.
 
Nothing too major, by good fortune mostly.

Did have to have 2 lots of physio recently though, for a couple of obscure, random falls. I really thought I might have broken my shoulder blade a couple of months ago, hurt like hell. As did the physio.
 
Nothing major luckily, all mine have been calamitous.
Scooped bottom of big toe out on old fashioned ring pull.
Matching scars on shins from two separate incidents. One of them running into a crash barrier whilst running for bus.
Three broken fingers from being hit by the ball at footy.
Damaged wrist ligaments (most painful injury) after someone two footed me in the first minute of a match. He said he slipped.
Damaged ankle ligaments falling off a kerb. Bruising went from toes to knee. Two year old niece had broken leg at time and full length cast on it but still hobbled to freezer to get frozen peas for me to put on it.:oops:
 
Fractured wrist. New Years Eve 2009. I was on my last driving lesson with BSM of the year after starting lessons in August. I had passed my Hazard & Theory at the NECC down High Street West. The night before I had attended a South Shields Harriers & AC Christmas Party at The New Crown. The roads were icy due to a very bad snow and ice filled Winter. My cul-de-sac's road was like an ice rink. Yet for some reason my instructor had parked in the middle of the street. I had to options. I had boots good for ice but I don't know if it could work the pedals (it had a thick sole) or trainers good for feeling the pedals but not good for the ice. I chose the latter. Took one step on the ice and went arse over tit and had landed with my right hand outstretched. I spent till about March of 2010 with my hand in a cast. In April I could return to driving. In September I passed at the second time.
 
Snapped my achilles tendon years ago which hurt a bit, but a few weeks later while still in the boot I was hopping around my bedroom cos I couldnt be arsed with the crutches and managed to land on a drawing pin.....which made me jump up and land on my bad leg which absolutely knacked. Then had to prise the drawing pin out of my foot.
 
I have to admit that I am actually a seagull and that I was once injured having been used for karate practice by @chunkylover53 . Fortunately he never did manage to chop me or any of my other bird colleagues in half.
