Ive broke my right leg, shattered my knee, broke my tail bone, several fingers and my left ankle. LOL

My leg and my ankle were from falling into a big ditch on the side of the high way.
I broke my knee in a car wreck.
Tail bone I broke while walking along the top of a cattle gate and fell onto the metal top.
Ankle I broke by stepping off a sidewalk and twisting it very badly.
The fingers were from shutting them in the door of a huge truck.

I hurt myself alot.

When I was 17 I broke my foot in 13 places. It took three surgeries to get it back together. That's what killed my ballet career.

Nothing yet but I have a hairline fracture on my nose. The front tire of my bike was loose and not lined up right. When I was riding the tire clipped a car and I went over the handle bars. The doctor said if I didn't wear glasses I would have broken my nose.

I broke a finger once, in high school right before an exam. I told them I was fine to write it, but half way through they pulled me out and made me write it in a special class incase I couldn't finish and had to get someone to write for me.

When I was in grade 7, I was riding my bike down a hill and my foot slipped off the pedal and got caught in the wheel and I went flying but my foot stayed in the wheel. I screwed up my ankle really bad. I didn't go to a doctor for it right away and when I finally did, there was nothing they could do for me.

I broke bones in two toes, just walking down the stairs. Still no idea how it happened. Hurt like a son of a gun, and nothing they can do about it.

Other than that - fractured my arm when I was a kid and had to wear a cast for awhile. I remember using it as an excuse to try to get out of doing schoolwork (can't write with my left hand teacher!) I don't remember if it worked or not though.

Nope. Never broken a bone. I did sprain my ankle once. And I've also been kicked directly in the knee by someone with a soccer cleat on. Happened at soccer practice a few years back. They went for the ball and kicked me directly in my knee. I immediately fell to the ground and didn't know if I'd be able to get up, because the pain was that bad. Nothing every happened though; nothing broken or torn. Although, I do have pain in my knee every now and then. Some not so bad, some bad.

I have broken bones in my leg three times. Then in 2005, I broke my hip in two places. Since then, I have not been able to walk without using a walker. But at least I am able to walk.

I've never broken anything either. Well, I chipped a piece of bone in my foot. That was aweful for two weeks!

I fell down the stairs and broke my collar bone when I was about 3 years old.

I broke my jaw in a car accident when I was 16 (I wasn't driving!)

I fell down the basement stairs this past July and broke a couple of ribs. This was by far the most painful!


Edit: I'm seeing a pattern here. Guess I need to use the handrail!

Oh here goes~

When I was in 2nd grade, I was late for school, there was a mass of stairs you had to climb and since everyone else had gotten their earlier, they got the stairs wet with the snow. So while I was climbing up them I fell down and broke my butt. Then in 4th grade, someone at the skating ring came up to me and started talking to me, someone got behind me and the guy that was talking to me pushed me over the other guy. I broke my ankle, but refused to let it get the better of me, so I rollerskated on it anyway! I kept falling down and hurting myself worse. When I finally went home it was so swollen, went to the dr, they told me it was badly broke but too swollen to cast!
The in highschool gymnastics I broke my wrist doing a backhand spring! Then I broke my fingers doing a FRONT handspring! I tore all the tendons and ligamints in the thighs/groin area while doing the splits in volleyball!

Then at my aunts funeral, I was trying to sneak out because my car was not in line, so while they were praying I was sneaking down the stairs, my shoe tipped sideways, I fell, broke my tailbone AGAIN, and miscarried all at the same time! With a ton of people watching me! But since I had to go to the cemetary I ignored my tailbone and went anyway, I couldn't walk in those shoes anymore because it hurt so bad, so I went barefoot, and tripped in a hole and broke my ankle again! Later on that same day I misscarried. Happy april fools day huh???

I broke my arm when I was 6 or 7 when my friend and I decided that indoor frisbee was a good idea.

Never played that again.

I remember being disappointed about my cast. It was only half a cast, so no one could sign it. The cast also came off 1 week before school started again.
