actually where it healed is stronger because your body builds up a ball of calcium and both bones heal into it ( this left a golf ball size lump on my collar bone) but just like a weld on metal its only strong at the actual break and is just as prone to be being broken in a different way then the original injury

Nearly every bone in my right leg (my knee has a screw in it) mutiple timed, a few ribs, and one time my sternum got fractured.

Also dislocated nearly everything at least once.

I'm very accident prone.

I broke my left ankle in kindergarten, and I broke my right wrist in 9th grade. With the wrist, the bone ended up being 45 degrees off from where it was supposed to be. Not fun.

I wouldn't want to meet these people you are talking about...

I have never had broken bones, and I don't even want to try to imagine how painful it can be.

Ive sprained both right and left ankles about 10 times each.
Broken my left ankle 1 time
Sprained or tore a ligament in my left knee
Broke my right wrist
Come close to a broken neck 2 times
Broke the back of my skull open when I was about 5


I'm a very sports active person....Football, Rugby, Hockey.....Those are all where I got the injuries from :)

Well, xcept the broken wrist, that was from play fighting with a really fat kid..

Gah, I just realised how wasted that gag was on this forum!

Ah well, despite lack of evidence I'm glad you were left without bruises!

Take it easy! :)

I have broken about 6 of my fingers, primarily through my cricketing days (and also 2 fingers, 1 thumb and some toes on other people). I've also done a few ribs, some toes and my arm.

The arm was pretty good. I was swinging from a palm tree when the branch broke and I landed on with my palm flat on the ground and my forearm at 90 degrees. The end result was that both bones in my forearm ended up like the picture below.


That's exactly what happened to me. The break, that it :p

I may have broken my toe in high school, but I never actually went in to have it checked.

I think the only thing I've ever broken was my right pinky toe.
Only now, the top joint doesn't work. Only the middle and bottom ones.

Most people think that little pinky toes only have two joints, but they really have 3, just like on your hand. Only your thumbs and big toes have two joints.

That's exactly what happened to me, Run! Expect it was a pine tree. But everything else was the same, even the way the break looked and how I fell on it. :)

Never broken a bone but I've got so many scars on my body from various accidents that I've lost count. I swear I'm an accident magnet.

I've broken my Coxus, it's a small bone at the bottom of your "tail". It hurts like **** for a while and it never quite feels the same again ... basically be careful when landing on your ***! :D
