How many broken bones?

7mmremmag1995 · 03-25-2008, 07:59 PM

How many broken bones have you had. i've had 1 so far. broke my arm back in august and had two surgeries on it. first to put 2 plates in and the second to take one plate out. i had to miss 7 weeks of school (gee, did i hate that

). bad news is i broke it on flat ground. i was riding a bike and got close to the road and the only %$# brake was the front so i pulled it and over the handlebars i go. it was not my bike. so how many have you had

Broken bones are not fun. They hurt.

MrsS · 03-25-2008, 08:11 PM

Other Maladies:
1) Dislocated left knee including knee cap

Right femur (thighbone)... twice, 6 months apart when I was 10.

Non-breaks:
Severely sprained my right ankle while on crutches between them.
Dislocated my right kneecap and had to have surgery on it a year later to remove a bone chip (they couldn't find it) and it still gives me trouble.
Had a surface aneurysm removed from my forehead due to a paintball glancing off (just above my mask) and weakening the blood vessel.

broke my right arm a few years ago

I've fractured the point of my right shoulder twice, stellate fractures. Once when I was a kid, once as an adult. Cracked my right collarbone when I was in the front passenger seat and the car I was in got spun out by the slipstream of a tractor-trailer that blew by the car about one inch off the right side at 90 MPH and the driver lost it when we spun out into the guardrail and rolled backward across the highway and the shoulder strap locked up.

when did you get in that fight with a steam roller. lol

tlarkin · 03-25-2008, 09:03 PM

cracked a few ribs sparring in my martial arts classes before, and have fractured several bones but never a clean break. Guess I am lucky.

All my injuries have come from bicycling, skateboarding, martial arts, sports, and dumb things I have done while drunk.

damage855 · 03-25-2008, 09:15 PM

Have severa scars and stiches but no broken bones. hope I never do it sounds awful painfull.

Several times it seems. lol

*Grew up farming - unsafe profession
*Grew up with a bunch of redneck farm boys - fist fighting was acceptable
*fell off a 2nd story balcony onto my head - damn that hurt!
*20+ years as a martial artist - frequent non padded full contact
*rowdy behavior after discovering bars
*the rest can be attributed to hobbies like cave exploring, rock climbing, backpacking, and married women

Pumpkinheaver · 03-25-2008, 10:11 PM

I have broken 2. My middle finger when I was 7 or 8. First lumbar vertabrae when some sorry SOB drunk ran me over with Rm Charger when I was 15.

Fell off a wagon and broke a tibia across a wagon toung.
broke rib falling out of tobacco barn
cow stomped foot

many cuts and bruises.

So much of our farming was fairly low budget alow tech and dangerous.

I saw Dad jamb a tobacco spear all the way through his lover palm and out the other side. Brother almost lost an arm to a chain saw.

I worked so hard at that stuff I had trouble keeping weight on when I was a teenager.

I'd never want to go back to that sort of life unless I just had too.
