Ever broken a bone?

Just wondering, as I'm laid up here in the age old male tradition of wearing a bag of frozen peas on my foot!
Seems in my ever more pathetic desire to stay young and fit, I have probably broken a bone, somewhere just between the ball of my foot and my big toe.
It's a strange kind of pain, like a dull ache, and throbbing....ouchie!
I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    Broke my wrist while roller skating in my parents basement when I was 8. Smacked it on the corner of the stairs. Never broke anything again though. Even played ice hockey for 20 years and never broke anything.

    How did you break your foot?

    Broken Collarbone twice
    Broken Arm once
    My knee probably looks like a shredded beef taco on the inside.
    NERDS!

    I hear it pop every morning, and every time I go snowboarding. I just lather it up with Sour Cream and it's good to go :)

    Playing 5 a side football with a bunch of mates, who are also old enough to know better. I was running onto a ball to shoot, I gave it my full pelt, and this awkward scrawney little guy lunged across to block it...I hit the ball very hard, and also his outstretched foot at the same time. Knocked him off his feet...the tosser!

    Somehow I guessed it would be football related.

    Sorry to hear that Jamie. Is it your first broken bone?

    No, believe it or not I once broke my arm playing football! Unlike this one here, there was no mistaking it, the bone just above my wrist was clearly snapped, you could see it pointing the wrong way under the skin.

    Maybe you should give up football and take up curling then.

    curling is dangerous.

    i watched a girl from my work slip on the ice and land on the back of her head.

    but never ever tell a man to give up football.. thats like us telling women to give up moaning... its never going to happen :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Well, I kinda gave it up, this 5 a side stuff is different. I can't give this up, I need it.
    And as for injuries when i was playing.....I won't list them all, I had more than Bryan Robson...actually, you probably have no idea with that analogy, so let's just say I had lots.:)

    You're right. I have no idea who he is. I've never broken a bone either. :cool:

    When I was 13 years old (2 weeks after my 13th birthday to be exact) on 12/2/87, I was hit by a car while skateboarding, causing me to get FUBAR!!! I broke my lower mandible, the two lower leg bones (tibia and fibula), and ruptured my spleen, which had to be removed or else I would of died of internal bleeding. I also hit my head bad enough to put me in a coma for a few weeks. It sucked spending Christmas and New Years in the hospital.

    Holy Fuck! Ouch!

    Although you made out better than a kid in my Jr. High. The truck driver that ran into him said "that's what you get for skateboarding" after the kid died :(

    Broken elbow age 8, Broken wrist age 11, broken finger age 14 and a broken nose i think at some stage. Sounds strange to say at some stage my nose doesn't look wonky UNTIL you move my left nostril and there is a big hunk of cartlidge. Ligament damage in both my ankles (both done on the same day 1 year apart spooky) one was a sporting incident, the other was a drunken incident :D Oh and had a massive concussion age 13.

    I think it's a good sign actually, some of you have broken so many bones. It shows you're not afraid to live life. :cool:
