Defender_16 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Finally found where you first mentioned losing your left arm "From mid-humerous on down." Congrats- not many people know that that is the name for the bone running from your shoulder to your elbow. I broke mine and, consequentially, learned what it was called. (Doctor: What the hell? I've only seen old men and women break this bone before! Me: Shut up and give me meds, dammit!) So I was thinking; who here has broken a bone (or several) so far in their life? As far as I've been able to tell I haven't broken any regular bones in my lifetime. I may however have broken my tailbone without realising it when I was 11. "You ok?" *Sniff* "I'm OK. Owie, ouch, eeee it hurts." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthTex Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I've broken both of my collar bones. At different times, but ... both from playing (American) football. Missed out on two seasons That new safety equipment (shoulder pads) used now would have been a Godsend back in the day Finally, after years of hard work I am the Supreme Sith Warlord! Muwhahahaha!!

Mad78 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Broke my arm once. Didn't know it was broken so didn't get a cast. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediHunter Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I broke one of my collar bones at three, my thumb when I was 18 for sure.. meaning a doctor told me i broke them and i wore what i could to fix them.. and i believe i broke my wrist sometime in my past without knowing or doing anything about it.

Jahled Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Broke my wrist when I fell off my skateboad as a kid. Remarkably that's it given the amount of time I spent working on a bike or up trees. http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rob Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Never broke any bones. But a few years ago I was on my quad driving through the woods, and I was going up a hill. Only I didn't go up fast enough, and the quad flipped over. It landed on my foot, but that was fine. However I received a small scar when my chin landed on a rock.

wormie Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I've broken the same ankle twice. Once when I was 11, doing stoopid eleven year old stuff and the other when I was 24, playing beach volleyball. The sand shifted under my feet when I landed after spiking the ball and I fell. I fell hard.

I fell hard. Wormie returns! A forum member thought to be dead, but apparently very much alive! The dead are rising... Scath will be back soon... Erm, right... As you all know, I broke my humerous (Don't make the obvious joke. It sucks, and I heard it 800+ times when it was in a 'shoulder immobilizer') Didn't know that it was broken until the following day when I got it X-rayed after a sleepless night that consisted primarily of "SSSSSSTTTTTHHHHH! AH! SSSSSSTTTTTHHHHH! AH! SSSSSSTTTTTHHHHH! AH! SSSSSSTTTTTHHHHH! AH!..." Nine weeks in the damned thing, and I wasn't even allowed to run because there was a fear that doing as much would shift the bones out of allignment, meaning that I'd have to get some of my marrow drilled out and a large metal rod stuck in its place. >.< Not fun... 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Well I have a fused left wrist - fused after they rebroke it twice. I have plates and rods in my neck from shattering my first three vertebrae in a car accident and broke my shoulder at the same time. My right pinkie finger was cut off in the accident and sewed back on minus part of the bone. Thats it for me dudes. - Grand Moff Conway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormie Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I can't remember ever needing to go to the hospital for anything but visits. You're lucky then. I remember a bee stung me in the eyelid and I had to wait around for hours before I was even looked at. And the whole time I was waiting my eye kept on swelling and swelling until I looked like Rocky at the end of Rocky 1 Lost a planet Master Obi-Wan has, how embarrassing. - Yoda Do not count a human dead until you've seen his body, and even then you can make a mistake. - Bene Gesserit saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seth McFarlane (creator of Family Guy) has used it at least twice more in his "new" episodes.. and its just annoying.. the show has lost its edginess and its comedic value... they shouldve left it dead. You're lucky then. I remember a bee stung me in the eyelid and I had to wait around for hours before I was even looked at. ... you livin in Canada dude?! i remember when i was living there the only way to go to a doctor was to go to an emergency room and they were packed.. you were guaranteed at least a 2 hr wait...

Do you know how "critical" broken collar bones are? It's simple ... they aren't! Average wait time for me was 5 hours! Doctor: Sorry it took so long. Does this hurt (* pokes & prods me *)Me: YES!Doctor: Well ... there's nothing we can really do but immobilize it. Put this sling on and you'll be ready to go in 6 to 8 weeks. Oh, and the soreness should diminish over the next day or two. NEXT! Don't even get me started on knee ligaments Finally, after years of hard work I am the Supreme Sith Warlord! Muwhahahaha!! What??

Yep.. I'm living in Canada. The medical care may be free, but that means that people go to the emergency room for trivial things. And it's a first come, first serve basis.. unless you're missing body parts, or growing new ones. Bur it shouldn't have taken hours to see me, I mean, I was stung in the freakin eye!!

the_mask Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 my eye kept on swelling and swelling until I looked like Rocky at the end of Rocky 1*has a flashback of seeing wormie tumble around, screaming Aaaaadriaaaaaan* Right, now for the part about broken bones and where it applied to my index finger's central joint. Let's say it was a basketball pass that ... failed ... to pass my hand just by a bit. A bit of that joint in the finger broke loose, but luckily my fear of losing mobility in it didn't come true.At first I didn't think it'd be broken and since we were in the middle of warmup in a gym class I kept going. Afterwards, throughout the Volleyball game I wondered if it might be sprained, since it kept swelling, so I took a timeout and told the teacher I'd see a doc about it. After changing my clothes, I let a very thin jet of cool water dribble down it and it felt like the finger was struck by a hammer.Clenching my teeth I thought "Ok ... maybe it's broken...." http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nordwindranger Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I broke a bone in my hand, quite badly in fact (you can still see the lump from where it healed crooked). this was most likely due to heavy consumption of whiskey.. Then their was cinco de may (err mayo? maio? whatever) when i got drunk and did a faceplant onto a concrete garage floor, but thankfully only broke my pride and my lip. More recently I fractured my wrist (err i believe thats what happened to it) while punching my friends rock hard abs while drunk off my a** Now that I think about it about 95% of my injuries have been drinking related. mmm beer http://nordwindranger.comI should really make a flashy banner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
