Have you ever broken any bones?

[Pappy Knuckles]

Considering how physical that I am, I feel pretty lucky that I've never broken anything. I've had my fair share of cuts, bruises, and pain, but that's about it. How about you guys?

Wrist- 3 times
Radius- Twice
Fingers- Atleast 5 times? I broke my left hand, more like crushed but was lucky the doctor knew what to do.
Ribs- fun times.

I never have either. I'm not overtly physical (haven't played organized sports since middle school, don't do extreme sports in my free time, etc.), but I do feel lucky to not have broken anything... Most people ahve a freak accident with a car door or something along those lines to get at least a broken finger, but I've managed to avoid even that.

Elbow.

But the biggest was my forearm. When it happened, my forearm bent downward and I guess out of shock I just realigned it right there. Big mistake as that required two surgeries, a pin, plate, and a rod which I have to this date. Fully recovered though so it's all good.

Lucky for me, just a broken nose. My dad pimp-slapped me with a basketball out in the driveway one night and damn near reduced me to tears. Shades of Marsha Brady.

Of course he thought it was funny as could be.

It hurt real bad. So bad that I didn't even realize my wrist was broken.

I broke my elbow falling off a trampoline when I was kid.

I had some tendon and muscle surgery on my feet in high school and the doctor had to break both my feet and 7 of my toes. It hurt.

Re: Have you ever broken any bones?

When I was 11 I shattered my left leg. I was swinging on a swing set in my back yard and one side gave out. My leg was bending like there was a joint in my shin. The tibia and fibula were in multiple pieces. I was in a cast for 13 weeks. I still don't walk right.

I still cringe at the memory of having my first broken radius- they had to "set" it and me being 12 I had no clue what would follow. The shot was bad enough but the guy breaking it back in place was insane.

With the stuff I've broken and dislocated, I'm glad I have never broken a leg.
