Worst Injury You've Ever Gotten?

[Quantum Constrictors]

I... I...I have broken the tip of my middle finger on my right hand. Thats it

[Maixx]

Worked construction 13 years, and fell from the 3rd floor. The guys on the site said it looked like I was diving into a pool.
Broke every bone in both arms, 4 years and 10 series later I'm still dealing with it (see the surgeon in July), looking at a full shoulder replacement soon.
Positive side, I lived, didnt break my back or neck, and did it at work.

I sprained my ankle and tore ligaments in my right foot a few years back. It hurt more then anything I have ever experienced before.

Probably the one I was born with, transposition of the great arteries. If that counts. I have had two open heart surgeries, multiple MRIs and heart carbs, and at least yearly cardiac checkups and testing my entire life.

If that doesn't count, then either when I broke my toe, or when I fell in the shower and bruised my tailbone.... Ouch.

fractured the tip of my Collar bone requiring 2 operations removing 2 inches of bone each time. 4 years later, still out of work, and have to find a new career due to not being able to do what i could prior.

Sounds like me! I've broken my pinkie playing soccer. A couple severe sprains on my right ankle but nothing that some ice and a few days in a brace didnt fix.

Oh I did get staph from a bicycle accident when I was 15. About 6 surface inches of road rash on my arm that got infected quick!

I gotta' find it first, LOL. I can't even begin to explain how much stuff they hand you when you retire from active duty. It's literally a mountain of papers and junk. That CD is in there somewhere...I think.

lol ok fair enough. Did you receive a purple heart for it?

BLM is basically public land. Wyoming has a lot of open, unowned and unused land that is riddled with trails for biking, 4wheeling, horseback riding, you name it. Three miles very well might kill me nowadays too, but when I was 15 I was in pretty good shape. I hiked and biked everywhere and it didn't phase me.

AKedit: Slim, if I ever make it down to FL I'd like to shake you hand.

Ohhh ok gotcha. For some reason i though it stood for Bad Man Land but that would be BML not BLM lol. Ive been to Wyoming once and i remember it being pretty barren, but that was 8 years ago so that could have changed... LOL not.
Also x2 on shaking Slim's hand. If he plays his cards right he may even get a high five outta me

and did it at work.

Yes workmans comp lol. And i think your story may take the cake or at least be tied with crashing an airplane. But i think yours is worse bc you tried to fly without a plane

If that doesn't count

In my book, multiple open heart surgeries, totally counts!

Did you receive a purple heart for it?

Yes, but like I said before, mine was a parking lot fender bender compaired to what the guys on the amputee and burn wards in Walter Reed are dealing with, so when asked, I always say I received one, not earned one.

My Army counterparts refer to the PH as Enemy Marksmenship Medals

I was in a car wreck years ago..totaled a brand new 1999 anniversary Mustang GT. It flipped end for end and rolled 5 times down and embankment. My injuries were 4 broken ribs, dislocated shoulder, broken nose, 3 broken teeth, puncture wound to my left wrist, hyper extended both knees, bruised heart and lung and last but not least a head would that tore my scalp from my right temple across my fore head to my eye and up to about the middle of my head.

It was only by the grace of God we all lived. I was with three friends when it happened. One friend suffered a collapsed lung, broken arm and back (non-paralyzing). Another friend hand many cuts and contusions, the worst of them all wasn't wearing her seat-belt asleep in the back seat. She lost 90% of her teeth, and it took 3 years and over 1/2 a million dollars in hospital bills for reconstructive surgery to repair her injuries to her face.

Have had my share of sports related injuries and other wrecks, but most recently was my motorcycle accident back in May of 2010.

Hit some debris on the road causing me to drop and slide the bike. The majority of my left side looked like ground beef and a section of my left arm was badly damaged causing a fair amount of blood loss. I still have some scaring after some minor plastic surgery and a boat load of cortisone shots to break down scar tissue and resolve some keloids that occurred due to improper healing. To this day I still lose feeling in my left arm from time to time and can no longer sleep on my left side.

I haven't been on a bike since, but when I do ride again I'll be sure to wear some protection... No more t-shirt and shorts.
