re: What’s the worst injury you’ve ever had?

Dislocated my shoulder twice.

Caused by throwing the baseball and jerking off too much in high school. Tore my labrum all up and it popped out later in life

Broke arm a couple times and two fingers. Nothing compares to the needle stuck in my big toe for an in grown toenail that was cut out. The medicine felt like a sword going in my bone.

Rolled my right foot almost completely upside down in 2006, when I was in the Army. Shattered the cartilage, tore the ligaments and dented the bones in my ankle. I’ve had surgery twice and still have issues with it.

Trampoline accident when I was 10 or so at a friend's birthday party. Broke my face in 7 places.

frick trampolines.

Racing motocross back in the day. Hit a big jump wrong and went over the bars. Landed around 70ft from the face of the jump on my head and shoulder with the bike on top of me.
Concussion, broken collar bone, dislocated shoulder, torn labrum, broken ribs, collapsed lung, 2nd degree burns on my back. Spent the next 3 days in the hospital.

Had another incident wakeboarding where I landed a little twisted and off axis. I immediately felt my knee pop and what I can only describe as feeling like an electrical shock blowing out the bottom of my heel. Hurt like hell, I immediately knew something was wrong and dropped the handle and kicked the board off as fast as I could before the pain set in. It took 2 days to get into the Dr and my knee was swollen pretty bad.
Turned out to be a contusion to the joint, bruised femur, and a functional tear to the ACL. I got lucky, just a touch more and my knee would have been trashed. No surgery needed, just some rehab and I was good to go.
That pretty well killed wakeboarding for me, I didn't get on a board again for a year and never tried another trick.

The crohn’s is ravaging my intestines pretty well. A good 10 minutes on the throne usually resolves this though.

The disc herniation was by the most painful. Not being able to hardly walk or move sucks. Guess I should have called Gordon or Bart.

Was clearing brush with a Woodmans Tool and it ricocheted off a small sapling and chopped my left patella tendon in half.


Had to have surgery obviously and it took 2 years just about to get back to normal. Still haven't gained all the muscle back from atrophy.

Jet ski accident when I was a kid. Rubber handlebar punched a hole in the inside of my thigh. Went in just under three inches. Took a plastic surgeon to repair all of the tissue and blood vessels in my leg and about twelve staples to close it back up.

Honestly, the guy did incredible work. People practically never notice the scar and slight depression unless they know the story and look for it.

Ok Mr Bundy.


ETA: Dislocated shoulder multiple times, volleyball. Also tore ACL and MCL playing volleyball and snowboarding. Dislocating shoulder and waiting is the worst pain yet.
