Worst sports injuries

**GotToHaveNeo** · February 13th '06

I have played a lot of sport over the years and just like everyone else, i have had my fair share of injuries, but a couple of weeks ago while i was playing indoor soccer all of those other injuries took a backseat to the broken ankle i got.

Had surgery on the wednesday, its broken in 3 places, i have 2 scars one 3 inches the other about 6-7 inches. 10-12 screws where put into my right ankle and its not got to be in a cast for a month, then a brace.

I wanna to know, what YOUR worst sport injury is.

i was playing hockey for the girls team at school, we were playing against a really awesum team, and it was our last chance to beat then..... i was a defender helping the goalie, when someone hit the hockey ball high ... which was called dangerous ball , it smack me in the face on my cheek bone, i was lucky it just chipped my bone, the same game i was taken down by the hokey stick smacking my nee, spent 2 nights in hospital, couldnt walk properly for 2 weeks

Not done anything really bad. Got a ganglion cyst when i started Parkour. Not really an injury but it was annoying.

I keep breaking my toes but apparently you can do that whilst walking!

fibula but that wasn't the main problem because that wasn't a whole year because when it had healed I rushed my comeback and ended up tearing some ligaments.

Not really THAT sporting..
But I pulled my back on a trampoline once, and couldn't walk for days. I also nearly gave myself whiplash on a trampoline a few times. :/

I did my knee in in a waterpark, and was on crutches for a month or so. It's playing up at the moment actually.

ouch that gotta hurt the tibia or sumfing is like its opposite or sumfing ... never rush the healing and mending process and only play sports untill you are fully healed.!

lol. Not the worst, but only one thats been worth saying is a chipped bone on my index finger. Had my arm in a cast for a week, then my hand in a splint for about 5week, but now ive got bored of wearing it. I did it sparring in a karate class fighting the instructor, i thought it was just my knuckle cracking so i carried on sparring

tried a flip on a trampeline and landed on my neck couldn't move for about 1/2 hour. also [see other thread] caught a hit cricket ball between the legs. couldn't walk properly for about an hour.

done in my left knee 9 times and my right ankle once. all due to basketball.

the knee injuries were all hyperextensions. multiple injuries over a span of 3 and a hald years. current status: torn cartilage, soft tissue damage and harline fracture of the kneecap.

right ankle was rolled.jumped for a rebound. landed on random's foot. rolled it. severe swelling and bruising around the heel and ankle bone.

to date i've been wheelchaired twice and on crutchs 4 times due to those injuries.

but that dont stop me fromplaying basketball and badminton. passion keeps me going baby.

I've almost broken both my ankles before several times...and same for my wrists. My worst injury is when I jumped off my dresser a few years ago and did a frogsplash....I missed the mattress because it was a floor mattress....and my wrist went in between the hard wood floor and my knee.....OUCH! I never have wrestled in my room since. And before that, I've did spears to my pillows and accidentally hit my window...damn that hurts.

Twisted ankle, I couldn't walk for two days and was limping for two weeks, at that time we studied a story called "The Limping Lady" in the English lessons, it was a bit funny.

horse riding :

the horse i was riding bolted, i fell sideways but had my foot caught in the stirrup. So i got dragged round and bruised ALOT. the worse came when my foot came completely out (at a weird angle = i'd broken my ankle) i was on the floor then...
but the horse spooked and came towards me. stepping on me and breaking 3 of my ribs and my colar bone.
this was all at the tender age of 7. i was in hospital for about 3 weeks lol.
i also couldn't ride for about a yr

i got properly back into horse riding when i was 11. and i've now almost been riding regularly for 5yrs.

WOOT!
hehe (most people think i'm mad)
