Thought this could be an interesting thread :)

So what have you done to yourself? I've broken my right ankle, right wrist, sprained both wrists twice and put one of those big garden forks through my foot. Plus the usual few fingers and toes broken :o

My 'after' ankle x-rays

Anyone else? :D
 
Nose bleeds mainly, nothing compared with that but they have a tendency to start and not stop, I think longest I've had was 2/2.1/2 hours. That was fun.
 
Broke both my right and left wrist, and my left arm. Numerous toes and my left thumb. Currently nursing a torn anterior cruciate ligament in my right knee :(

So not much really :p
 
We've had these threads before. There'll be some spectacularly gruesome photos in a page or two :D

For myself, broken collarbone twice, cracked ribs, dislocated thumb, and an incident with a bike chain which removed one of my fingernails.
 
Fractured skull = Handlebars snapped on a Raleigh Chopper
Broken nose = Got beaten up by a gang of "big kids"
Broken collarbone = fell off motorbike
Stitches in knee = fell off motorbike
Lacerated forearm (had to have a vein tied off) = fell off motorbike
Broken rib = kickboxing
 
Never broken anything, Managed to have an entire football goal post fall onto the back of my head and ended up face down on concrete, Have a scar on my forehead where it was all cut open, ruined my brothers car at the time with the blood.
 
I'm quite lucky, I've never broken or fractured anything, I've never been in hospital for longer than a couple of hours

When I was a kid some other kid threw a brick at me and it split my head open, I had glue and butterfly stitches and went home, that's it

*edit* just remembered another, I was in the attic and fell out of the hatch when trying to climb back down, I put my hands on the wall to try to stop myself and knocked a picture off the wall and the nail went into my hand at the bottom and came out of the top, That was just another glue and go home affair though
 
dislocated shoulder, was very young and being led around holding hands with mum
broken wrist, collided during football and fell, put my arm down

edit: oh and I fell off a swing in a park, this is before they put wood chip down, my teeth went right through my lip, bled everywhere and had to eat soup for weeks. got scars but you can't tell.

You want xrays like this, they stopped allowing me to take photos during the leg extension surgery as that was quite a new procedure and experimental otherwise that would have been better:

Broke my left wrist last year playing 5 a side. Took 6 weeks for the cast to come off and a further ~2-3 weeks for it to feel "normal" again. Now back to doing everything as before with no further affect from the wrist.

Other than that I have never injured myself. Touch wood.
 
Cut my head twice from banging my head underneath a scissor lift and a scaffold clip, requiring several stitch's both times.

Stitches above eye socket

Fractured cheekbone/eye socket
