What's the worst injury you have ever had ?

In response to the plight of Adams and his torn pectoral muscle ....

Torn ankle ligaments

Neath Port Talbot Hospital

2016

Operation was a walk in the park , the rehab was a nightmare

Still get twinges now 7 years later

I wish I had done it in a midfield ball winning tackle but I was fishing down the beach and tripped over a boulder

Ruptured achillies playing squash in 1996. Less than 12 months later took up 5 aside and played for 22 years until I ruptured a quad tendon. Ended my career.

A couple of dislocated fingers and the odd muscle pull aside those were my two big ones.

I did have back surgery in 1999 to fix sciatica (had a disc trimmed) but that wasn't through a sporting injury.

Sciatica is a git , I get mild bouts but it's bearable

I think I have a touch of sciatica at the moment - fortunately not too bad, and only really after sitting for a while in a couple of different seats

Re: What's the worst injury you have ever had ?

Torn ligaments & fractured knee cap, deliberate foul in 1974. Still got the dent in my knee cap. A few broken ankles since when playing but that was the worst. Get more trouble with my left knee now whereas the 1974 incident was my right knee.

Paper cut sustained at work in 1994. Excruciating.
First tore ankle ligaments about 30 years ago and they've been awful since. After the last episode the doctor, looking at my xray, described my ligaments as threadbare.

Re: What's the worst injury you have ever had ?

Broken ankle playing football in 2004 - went up for a header and came down in the middle of 2 defenders and snap.
Complete with scar and metal plate inserted and 6 months out and on crutches.

First game back after 5 mins scored a curler with that foot - good as new.

Re: What's the worst injury you have ever had ?

Broken both Clavicles at different times, had a proximal humerus fracture at the humeral head (that hurt and wasn't funny at all) tore the ligaments on my thumb, 100's of stitches over the years.

Took a bit of time off for recovery for the thumb and humeral head, loved those five weeks off piece of piss, played darts, and had a laugh with the boys, the best five weeks at work ever :hehe:

Re: What's the worst injury you have ever had ?

I broke both thumbs tobogganing down a steep grassy hill in a plastic bread crate when I was twelve
Worse was Mr Connors the deputy head who also impersonated a medical professional insisted they were merely dislocated and spent twenty minutes trying to pop them back in 😭

They hurt like hell for a few days, the ligament was torn on mine it was flopping around and could bend right back.

Please don't bring the bone deep psychotic pain of a paper cut on here

This is a family show

Thank you

Fractured eye socket playing cricket

Generally broke a few bones playing cricket and football but the eye socket was the worst
