Injury Thread

[AlinaPOW]

eeerrrggghhh. Can't wait.

[Grumma]

Well law of averages says you're like to be involved in one somehow

[damo0945]

only one? i'm done then!

[damo0945]

- Broken Collarbone x2
- Broken Foot
- Broken toe
- Currently chipped fema
- Countless grazing, bruising and scars everywhere

Ahh, but downhill racing is fun! :o

purely out of interest, did you break the same collarbone twice or each one once?

[Deadcat Kaye]

I hurt me ankle in basketball (again)...bugger.

worst timing ever...I got some careers thing tomorrow AND the funeral.

So I've decided to whinge here :)

[Grumma]

I'm actually surprised I didnt a) knock myself out and b) lose any teeth at work today.

Hit my head on a table gettin up off the ground and knocked it over even though it was screwed into the ground

[Johnny_Wah]

UNCO! are you still at the reject shop?:p

[The Dying Start]

No, that's where he lives.

[Grumma]

UNCO! are you still at the reject shop?:p

Nah was at the State Library.

They weren't too thrilled when I swore either :p

[Neryssah]

I got bashed by a bible stick yesterday.

Stupid world youth day cross was in town and they made us go and bask in it's glory and some fuckers were passing it across everyones head and they smacked me in the jaw and it was bad.

Fuckin' religion.

[Grumma]

lmao that's hilarious!

reminds me of the bible me and my mate put through hell (no pun intended)
it's survived being run over by a train, being put on a main highway for 15mins, thrown at a train, set on fire, left out in the rain, had lemons shot at it and many other hilarious things :)

[Neryssah]

That just so reminded me of when I was trying to break one of my phones. Stupid thing wouldn't die, it was horrible. If it broke, I was getting a brand new one and it was crap anyway so I tried to accelerate the process and it was a miserable failure. Stupid Nokia and it's being tough.

[Grumma]

Yeah Nokia's are tough little cookies

[Neryssah]

Unlike those crappy Telstra ones. We got about a dozen of them for my dad's business and NONE of them lasted longer than a week. Mine broke about 20 minutes after I picked it up, wtfffff.

But yeah, injuries, umm.
FUNNY STORY. I had a funniest home video moment last night and went flying off the treadmill and through a folding door. I'm good like that :(

[Grumma]

lol did your pants fall down as well?

cos that would've made it the funniest thing ever

[Neryssah]

Nah, I think I maintained that last bit of dignity.

[Grumma]

So unlike that time the builders saw you in your jim jams then?

:p

[Julian]

I think I dislocated my pinky but I didn't notice until 4 hours later and it still doesn't hurt :S

[Grumma]

Normally they eventually slide back into place

[Julian]

That's comforting to know

[Neryssah]

So unlike that time the builders saw you in your jim jams then?

:p

Oh fuck off. :(
And they weren't builders, they were truck drivers.
Which is probably worse.

[Grumma]

Big, switty, drug influenced Truck drivers :p

At least builders have apprentices lol

[Neryssah]

Switty? Translate, plz.

[Grumma]

Major typo . . .

Sweaty :p

[damo0945]

^typo? i is nowhere near e or a...

Yeah Nokia's are tough little cookies

i broke mine, i slipped on gravel kicking a footy and smashed the hell out of the screen...

[Neryssah]

The screens are dodgy, yeah, but it's really hard to actually put the phone out of action. Mine had a cracked screen full of water and the damn thing still worked.

[Grumma]

hence why theyre known as a tradies' phone :p

[damo0945]

i'm quite surprised i haven't broken my motorola one yet (MOTOSLVR L6), its one of those thin as paddle shaped ones, i dropped it off the roof onto bricks and it's still good, sometimes when it gets dropped it'll die to a black screen, then a white screen, be dead to reception for a bit, and then fully work again... think i'll get a nokia if i get a new one though, menus and stuff are a tad low at times and it freezes occasionally...

[Watty]

I burnt my fingers pretty good when I was using the coffee machine at work today. They were burning all day haha

[damo0945]

i kinda did the splits and hurt my knee skateboarding today, my friend has video of it and said he'd post it if anyone wants to see

[Armistice]

Was fixing a friend's dad's fence by oxywelding it. Managed to put a nice burn mark on my leg when I was going to cut more metal. It was a confined part. I hope it scars

And Gabi hasn't been on, she cured? lol or just can't make something up right now :D

[gaby2121]

And Gabi hasn't been on, she cured? lol or just can't make something up right now :D

lol I have been busy being sick and not being online but If I would to put everything that has happend. you would think that I would be making it up.
But here are something that has happend in the week.
1.I keep running into thing wall,running machine and more walls.
2.my new TUK cut the back of my feet.
3. I'm sick
4. I'll stop because there is just to much pain ohh and my nose hurts of to much blowing or the sickness.

:D
Now I'm off to Mexico.

[The Dying Start]

*plays a violin rather badly*

[Grumma]

Yeah Gabi reminds me of that a bit :p

[_jimmy_]

Have fun in mexico gaby.

worst injury ive had? havent broken anything but have had a nasty fall, I was at a mates house which was on top of a steep hill, we were riding bikes down the hill and then his dog came out to right of me and i tried to dodge it and i went sideways and fell 2/3 of the hill down. left a nasty mark on my knee and back.

[gaby2121]

Gabi

Gabi


I belive its Gaby with a Y lol

gabi people usually spell it gabbie weird stuff no injuries for me today.

[Kacky]

At work the other day I managed to slam my finger in the cash drawer. :p

[Neryssah]

Don't you hate that?! I did it the other day too and I think I'm going to lose my nail :(

[Kacky]

It only happened once so far, and luckily it wasn't that hard of a slam. Still hurt though.

[Neryssah]

Ahhh, lucky. I'm such a clutz, I do it all the time :(

[Kacky]

Awww.

I also run into stuff, like the rack that's holding the bags. And I sometimes slam my fingers inbetween cans while scanning them.

[Grumma]

I belive its Gaby with a Y lol

gabi people usually spell it gabbie weird stuff no injuries for me today.

Whatev Gabi.

I other news, I because Australia's dignity has incurred a massive injury.

Mainly (well solely) cos of those losers on Swanston st outside Melbourne Central protesting George Bush being in Australia.

GET A LIFE LOSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[E.B.]

Do those protesters even know what they're protesting against?
Or are they only doing it just because George Bush is in Australia?

[Grumma]

Actually, most people there were only there so they could get off uni for a few hours :p
And all the rest were there cos their friends forced them to go lol

[E.B.]

Ok I stand corrected, perfectly good reason :p

back on topic: been having alot of those little injuries where you feel lots of pain for about a seond then it goes away e.g. stubbing your toe

[damo0945]

they suck... i sliced my finger on steel wool at work last week :(, it gets stuck in the rivets of frypans and you have to pull it out

[Colezy]

I burnt my fingers at work tonight.

I was helping Peter, one of our chefs, to lift the dishes from the bain marie onto a trolley and because we were lifting it onto the top shelf and because I am fairly shorter than he is, my side tipped down and the boiling water that keeps the food hot tipped over my fingers :( Hurts like crazy.

Now its bandaged up with a squishy burn gel pad on it and I have to type left handed. This post has taken me close to 10 mins to finish :p
Plus I need to go to town to sign for my loan tomorrow morning...how I'm going to do that I don't know cause its my writing hand that I have hurt!

[Grumma]

Is your left hand your wanking hand?

Cos that'd suck even more
:p

[damo0945]

i fell off my skateboard 3 or 4 weeks ago and found out today that i bruised a ligament in my knee... no wonder it's been sore...

[Colezy]

Is your left hand your wanking hand?

:p
Why yes it is :p But its my right hand thats hurt, so all is good :p

i fell off my skateboard 3 or 4 weeks ago and found out today that i bruised a ligament in my knee... no wonder it's been sore...
Ouch! Bruised ligaments suck big time :(

[RollOn]

Non- existent ligaments hurt even more. Just ask my right knee, it says "#@%! you!"

[Grumma]

Why yes it is :p But its my right hand thats hurt, so all is good :p


Haha that's ok then :)
Nothing worse than a bung wanking hand!
Though most people are able to adapt to using the other hand after a while :p

[Kacky]

I got smaked in the hand with a field hockey stick in Phys. Ed the other day, and I broke nail. :( :p

[Grumma]

lawllllllllllll

I ripped a nail off bike riding, next door neighbour was in hysterics and i was like "ahh, really, it doesn't hurt that much"

[Neo]

I stubbed my toe and it ripped off the skin in a love heart shape. It looks almost perfect too!

[damo0945]

Nice. I think I've already mentioned that i once stabbed myself with a knife sharpener (rod shaped thing) and now have a lightning bolt scar on my hand...

[Habibster]

lol this isn't really an injury, it's probably more of a wound..

It was hailing a fair bit this arvo, and my younger brother and sister and I thought it would be fun to go skimming over the ice on boogie boards...I took a massive run up, and just as i was jumping onto the board, i stepped in a patch of bindies, so i kinda stumbled. Momentum from that made me flop onto the board, which in turn trapped my right arm underneath. I slid about 15 metres with my arm stuck. I then walked back into the house, having to listen to the distant vigorous sniggering from the neighbours...I have a nice itchy, bloody arm now ;)

[Julian]

i cut my hand, some douche broke a glass putting it in the top drawer and it fell out and i caught it. ouch.

[Deadcat Kaye]

I hurt my finger at basketball training..
it bent back tons and I head a few cracks...

Ghey as...
And I have a game tomorrow.

[Neryssah]

Ohh that's no fun. Basketball is the worst for it too. I have such disfigured fingers from basketball and netball :(

There's glass in my foot and I don't know how and it hurts and I DON'T LIKE IT. Argh.

[Grumma]

Yeah my friend's fingers are almost all at right angles lol

[Kacky]

I was walking to the bus stop the other day, minding my own business when my feet decided to come out from underneath me. I landed flat on my ass, aha, it hurt for a second or two. The ice was hidden and I thought I was in a safe spot. :p The mail man saw my wipe-out as well...embarrassing.

[Armistice]

Was goofing off on Fri. Was on my friend's back and he was skipping. "Dan, don't skip. Oh a car" I let go thinking he heard me. He didn't and was still holding me legs so I grab his shoulders just as he's skipping again and we go down. My butt is in pain and my hand hurts a little. After about 20mins I come to the conclusion that I broke it. Great. I have a gig to play. DGAF and take some Advil and then sit on the couch and watch a movie while my hand sits on a frozen bag of corn

It's a little swollen and barely any bruising. Can't close my hand all the way. It's my pinky bone that's in the palm. Dan said it's prob a compression fracture... I say it's a hairline fracture. So it's fractured, not broke. I didn't go to the doctor coz they'd take a pic, say it's fractured, splint it. So I splint it myself. Cool :cool:

Yes welcome to the club of Splints on fingers. Going to the doctor for a fractured finger is a waste of time, but make sure in a week that u check it good. If its still badly swollen or Bruising more then norm, Go to a doctor. Could be a spiral fracture or it could be in a Joint, and that would suck ass!

[The Dying Start]

Just chop it off and then you won't have to worry about it.

[Armistice]

I've been in the club since 8th grade... 98-99. I was playing basketball in PE and tried to steal the ball. I barely slap it, but I must've hit it just right to break a corner off the 2nd joint from the top. Swelled and turned black and blue within 5mins and hurt like hell

The one on my hand really doesn't hurt unless I try to close my hand or flatten my hand a lot so it curves backwards slightly. Oh, just tried it, but I can bend it at the knuckle a bit without pain, but I have to use my other hand to do that, can't do it on its own. I'll talk to the parentals about getting it checked if it doesn't improve, though it's 3-4wks to heal, yah?

lol, visual aid

Glenn, I need ALL my fingers to play sax

[The Dying Start]

Deadly Ulna!

[Craigels]

this isnt really an injury but anyways i was sick with something and was vomiting all night and the next night i went to bed and as i was laying there a beach ball floated in through my door and it didnt seem weird at the time and i tried to hit it but i couldnt reach and went to sleep.

[Neo]

I cut a bick chunk through my finger with scissors today. it was ok 'till it stared going purple, then eventually black :o

That's why you never drink the bong water.

[Infiction]

I have a blister on my thumb from yardwork.
Hardcore....

[The Dying Start]

Yes. That is definately up there with the most epctacular injuries we've heard about in this thread!

[Jake]

I shut my thumb in the door a couple weeks ago. It's still black, but not sore at all.

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

I accidently did that to a baby last week.

[Jake]

Shut a black baby in a door?

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

Nah, I only torture whitey babies.

[Grumma]

Racist.

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

Dang, I was hoping that binary would mean something.

[Neryssah]

I feel like such an old woman, I've been complaining about my hip all day. I went out last night and fell off the McDonald's playground, and then the guy I was with decided that it looked like fun and jumped on me. ZOMGOWCH.

[Caity]

It's okay.
I have a sore back. It was killing me yesterday and the day before, then I went out in the boat today and now it's 1982598 times worse.

[Jake]

I had a bad hip for a good couple of years, and the doctors did tests for both kinds of arthritis before eventually transferring me for physio. That made me feel old.

[Kacky]

Bumpasaurus.

I smashed my finger in the fridge door at work today (for about the 14508th time), and my finger bled. Blah.

[Caity]

Oh man injuriez.

I've had a screwed up wrist for the past few months, my pre-existing tendonitis (which hadn't made an appearance in a year or two) came back with a vengeance and I was in agony!
That went away but now I have an ingrown toenail which is going to be removed on Tuesday - a whole week after I booked the appointment because my doctor is so busy, so it's super sore.

[Lainey]

Dislocated my ankle, broke my tibia and fibia and damaged my growth plate all in one go!
Playing soccer :p

[KillingInTheNameOf]

I just had 6 staples and some stitches taken out of my legs!

[Habibster]

alright a year or two ago now, but i was batting in our local mens first grade cricket final, i got a short ball, went back to hook it and missed it, the ball hit me the chest just under my heart and i fractured two ribs.

It wasn't pretty. It constricted my breathing there for a little while.

[worry_rock]

I got a papercut. It was pretty br00tal.

[Caity]

I got a papercut. It was pretty br00tal.

OH MAN ME TOO. Mine was with folded thick letterhead paper so it was pretty deep and hurty.

[worry_rock]

LOL. I was only joking about the papercut Caity. Because people have mentioned much more newsworthy things like fractured ribs haha.

But papercuts really are menacing!

[Caity]

LOL. I was only joking about the papercut Caity. Because people have mentioned much more newsworthy things like fractured ribs haha.

Oh. Dammit.

Well mine hurt anyway.



:p

[KillingInTheNameOf]

LOL. I was only joking about the papercut Caity. Because people have mentioned much more newsworthy things like fractured ribs haha.

You are a menace.

In other news, the blood rush to my legs is so painful that even with painkillers i can't sit unless my legs are parallel to the ground

[worry_rock]

You are a menace.

In other news, the blood rush to my legs is so painful that even with painkillers i can't sit unless my legs are parallel to the ground

Always complaining Grumma. Suck it up. It was only like 6 staples.

I had a bad haircut once. That easily trumps your damaged leg.

[KillingInTheNameOf]

I had about 20 staples in my leg lol

And pretty sure I can complain! They did cut my muscle tissue in 4 places and relocate 2 nerves (which is probably where a lot of the pain comes from)

[private_eye]

i have a sore toe

it's been infected since falls

2 courses of antibiotics

countless number of morons stepping on it (why can't they step on my left foot?)

owee

[Shadow]

Oh man, papercuts - are you guys OK?

[Caity]

Agreed!

I have an ingrown toenail, as previously mentioned, and whenever that happens, people are magnetically drawn to stomping on it - including a bitch in the lift at work in stilettos. They were nice shoes though.
