Same haha. My front tooth has a crown and doesnt glow in a black light. Chipped it in 3rd grade, re-chipped it playing back yard football, and the third time I chipped it, me and my girlfriend were wrestling and she headbutted me....

After that I finally decided to get a crown.

Thumb smashed by cart full of 700 lbs of heavy packages and a pole. Shattered the tip of it into 4 pieces, wasn't the best feeling but the pain meds helped

Had an avulsion fracture in my ankle. That basically means my tendon ripped a chunk of bone off.

*edit: avulsion, stupid autocorrect.

Actually only a mountain bike. Didn't help that my feet were strapped to the pedals and I wasnt wearing a helmet.

Downhill from WSU campus to the nutter center, "univ blvd" I believe it's called. Car came into my lane, I veered right and hit the curb. Last thing I remember was thinking to myself "this is gonna hurt" and then a bout a week later waking up strapped to a bed at MVH.

Found out later why I was strapped to the bed, apparently I'd been a naughty patient who after waking up tried to escape. (haha)

I blew my right ACL and medial meniscus in 1983. They cleaned everything out...as I walked around on it for 6 weeks, making repair impossible. By the time I was in my early 40s, the bone was degraded enough that arthritis had set in, and my leg was literally crooked.

Had a bionic knee installed in 2009...been living large ever since.

Had a few breaks and stiches but the worst and still bothersome from time to time, was breaking my right big toe. Hurt like hell for weeks and still does sometimes.

Nothing too bad.

Open fracture to my wedding finger due to an electric hedge trimmer. Almost cut the whole tip of my finger off (midway up my fingernail). It was a stupid mistake that made it happen.

Another that was worse, to me, was a corneal abrasion. Took a futsal ball to the eye on a shot. Apparently the abrasion went the entire diameter of my cornea. It felt terrible. Couldn't open my eye or blink or anything without terrible pain. It took a week or so to heal.

I'd have to say my recent ankle injury. Dislocated it completely out of the socket and broke three bones. Now I've got some nice screws holding things together in there.

It's been five weeks now, and I'm hoping the doctor lets me start putting some weight on it within the next couple of weeks.

Not looking forward to the arthritis that I'm almost guaranteed to have in that ankle.

Can't top most of you. Pretty tame on my end.

I broke my toe once. Really annoying.

When I was smaller I got a splinter in my foot that got infected and resulted in surgery and a three day stint in the hospital.

I also got plastered one day and woke up in the hospital from alcohol poisoning. Haven't been able to really drink since that night.

Had stitches a few times from cracking my head open, getting bit by dogs, etc.

Ruptured my SL ligament in my left wrist. It required reconstructive surgery, pins, extensive rehab. Sucked terribly. It's been almost 2 years and still not 100%. My worst injury by far.

Next would be the 2nd time I broke my left collarbone. It was a clean break protruding upward like it was going to come through the skin. I was in 5th grade. I can remember looking in the mirror and freaking the fuck out.

Nothing too crazy. Seperated shoulder, high ankle sprain, and turf toe.

I used to think NFL players were being bitches for sitting out games with turf toe. I didn't realize how much it sucked ass.

I've heard turf toe can lead to excruciating pain. I was the same way, I thought it was a bitch injury until I looked up what it actually is.
