Guest swan Report post Posted July 25, 2002 Flyboy212EAW wanted a worst injuries thread and he got one. I had a couple bad ones. The first was in high school. I was a passenger in a car that rolled over. I had no seat belt and ended up with a massive concussion and a multiple compound fracture of the vertebrae’s of my spinal cord. I still have problems o this day. Another was in college. I was opening boxes at wok with a box cutter. Somehow my thumb got in the way and my left thumb was basically hanging on by a thread. The doctor that sewed it back on said it was amazing how I didn’t slice any tendons or nerves. Besides a nasty scar I don’t have any problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ripper Report post Posted July 25, 2002 As hard as it is to explain, I got my leg wedge on someone elses foot while doing a spin move, then some one else came from the side and hit the knee. That tore the ACL...I just didn't know it. I did know that my Ankle was dislocated, but I kept playing(Basketball) through that. A play later I got under cut and hit the back of my neck on the court...once again...played through it. So I go to the doctor about a week later when everything is still hurting(neck, ankle and Knee) They tell me the neck is just sore, I have a tear in the ACL and some torn cartilege, and they said the ankle was just sprained. So I go through rehab for the ACL and ankle(the tear wasn't bad enough that I had to have the surgery). So I play foot ball in the fall. The first day of padded practice, I hit someone and my limbs go numb for a second. Coach says its just a stinger. being a dumb highschool athlete, I say "Ok coach" and go through the whole season. The entire time, my ankle would just give out on me every once in a while...being a dumb highschool athlete I thought it was just because I was turning it wrong. Although my 40 time went from a 4.6 to a 4.9, I never thought much of it. My vertical leap went from 41 inches to 32...but I still didn't think much of it. So I go through the football season and it is physical time for basketball season.. I tell the guy about my ankle and how my neck hurts sometimes. So he does a MRI on my ankle and checks my neck with the MRI and Xrays. So whats wrong?? I have a hole in my achellies, I have a ligement missing from my ankle that was aparently torn so bad it couldn't heal, and TWO calcium deposits on TWO different vertibrae at the base of my neck that meant I had broken my neck....twice. So basically, I played 5-6 basketball games and a entire football season AND went through workouts and tryouts for basketball again with all these injuries. Needless to say that ended Rippers athletic dreams for his senior year in basketball... On top of that, I go to the docter a couple of years ago, they actually find a another spot where the neck was broken. SO that was 3...I don't even know where that one came from.

Guest Some Guy Report post Posted July 25, 2002 Uh.... I broke my nose once. I just looked at the pictures my dad took and my nose was swollen to the size of a golf ball and the bridge of it was about an inch wide and quite red. I got sucker punched. Other than that I hyper-extened my knee in little league playing catcher. The 3B threw the ball high, I jumped up, caught the ball and landed foot first on my mask. I was then promptly bowled over by a fat kid trying to score. The thing that pissed me off the most is that he was clearly out by 5 ft and I didn't drop the ball and he was called safe. Being the "tough guy" that I am I lied to my dad and my coach and said I was fine. So I got up the next inning hit a shot into the gap rounded first and nearly collasped, I managed to get to second and then had an animated discussion with my coach about not wanting out of the game, my dad basically dragged me off the field. Then to piss me off further the next kid up hit a triple and I could have crawled home. I think I was 10 at the time and I've had problems with me knees ever since, that injurie combined with a massive growth spurt fucked them up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NazMistry Report post Posted July 25, 2002 I've never really been injured, some stitches, and fractures but nothing big. However, I have fallen vctim to something quite horrible. If you are squeamish do not read on... I've been stabbed in my right eye with a pair of Scissors! Who did it? None other than my older sister! (it was an accident, I hope.) It missed the pupil by 2mm, and I lost sight from my right eye for about three weeks with all the medication and stuff. I can't remeber that much cos I was 6, but I do remember screaming really loud.

Guest swan Report post Posted July 25, 2002 I've been stabbed in my right eye with a pair of Scissors! I once saw a guy get stabbed in the eye with a fork at one of those 24 hr dinners that all the drunk folks go to. The guy was drunk and refused to go to the emergency until he finished his cheeseburgar platter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
