What's the worst injury you've ever had?!
Question: - The year is 2003. Eidelweiss Valley, Quebec. Forum Youngbloods Snowboard Competition, Big-Air Finals. Didn't speed check, overshot the landing (40 foot drop to flat). Knees buckled. Shattered tailbone, and broken back. 3 weeks in the Hospital, 3 months in a mobil body cast (looked kinda like a fiberglass tubetop hahah). Share your destruction with me :D

not nearly as bad as urs but in June i injured my knee playing beach volleyball... at the time of the injury i knew that i had did something but being the stubborn and competive person that i am, i continued to play until the end of the day(which only made it worse)... i went home that night and iced and elevated my knee(it was pretty swollen) and asumed that the next day i would be fine, well all was not fine as when i got up the next morning i couldnt put hardly ANY weight on my knee and it felt as thought it would give way if i tried to walk on it... also the swelling had INCREASED despite being iced and elevated most of the night... so i limped down to my car and went to the immediate care center where after xrays were taken to assure NO fracture... i was placed in an immobolizer and was told to be non weight bearing for 7 days with a followup visit in ten days.... well when i went back for the followup the doc still didnt like the lack of ROM and continued swelling over the inside of my knee, so i was sent for an MRI... which showed a minor tear to my MCL and although i was still having instability at this time NO damage to any other structures... i was still in the immobilizer and was refered to an orthopeadic dr... he then prescribed PT which i have been in since the beginning of August... I have now had 2 MRIs, 3 cortizone inections, 4 months of therapy, and now the doc is suggesting that we do a scope... "to see if something was missed on the MRI" because i am still having moderate to severe pain with cutting and pivioting, ROM past 100 degrees(weight bearing), 135 degrees (NWB), problems with jumping(cheerleading), and squats, i am also beginning to have instability after riding on the stationary bike, and i get a shrap stabbing pain when ever i twist my foot inwards
so again not as bad as the previously posted but it was my WORST injury
Holy cow... that's a-lot of injuries..
:P Year 2005 broke my fibula while first time on roller-blade, my last time too, I spend one week in hospital because I accidentally ate a cup cake five hours before surgery. :D I don't want get into any more injures so don't jinx me.
the worst injury was prob when i broke my fum lol
Not nearly as bad as yours, but I dislocated my knee...worst pain I've ever had
ABout half an hour ago, Saint john, new brunswick, just threw out my back, can't even move.
Stress Fracture in my back from not stretching properly before soccer...
I've broken lots of toes and fingers too! but not NEARLY as bad as wat happend to you... OUCH
mine was nothing near urs.mine was spraining my wrist.
Mine was real bad too. I'm only 16 but this was when i was 13. I came off my mountain bike while doing jumps and put my arms out - it smashed my right elbow to pieces. It was the worst arm injury the hospital had seen in 10 years. Had to have an elbow reconstruction - loads of wires in there. But it still wasn't back to normal after 3 months physiotherapy and my wrist would not turn neither would my arm stretch out due to the whole mechanism of my elbow being shattered. I've had 2 more operations on it, one was by a specialist on elbows this summer. Had to remove a part of my elbow. Still can't turn my wrist properly though and still don't have full extension.
