Broken rib, nose, wrist and broke a few toes but the most annoying is I damaged my groin muscles and tendons playing football, I've only just back into proper running after 6 months.

Hi Guys
Mi worst was a cartilege due to a dirty b------ committing a two footed tackle. That was in 1961 BTW.
Although things were different then (no arthroscopy etc) Everyone should realise that anything which afflicts them may well come back to haunt then in later life.

Turned my ankle playing for Stanford Arms in the good old Sussex Sunday League when I turned my ankle. Played on but when I took my boot off my ankle swelled up to the size of a football. Was out for 3 weeks. First training session back, took a tumble and tore my post and anterior cruciate ligaments. Did think it was that bad at the time apart from the fact that I couldn't stand on my leg when it was straight. Hobbled back to the car and drove home. Only went to hospital the next day and they thought it was only strained. Had to get on the waiting list to see a damned consultant and didn't have it repaired for 18 months.

Sorry i know it hurt, but that made me laugh,

And it's all gone quiet..
Mine was probably having 4 of my fingers repeatedly slammed in a door by my sister in a moment of anger.
Don't think I've broken a bone thus far though.

Managed to dislocate my shoulder (tearing every muscle in my shoulder), break my collarbone and my ribs all in the same accident about 5 years ago. Took 6 weeks to even straighten my arm again. Shoulder still hurts from that one!

Broke my fifth metatarsal playing football - didnt actually hurt that much + having 6 months treatment for cancer wasn't particularly fun =\

I work in surgery assessment. No matter how bad a day I'm having I know that all the people I'm doing work for are worse off than I am. I'm seen the craziest shit, to the most bizarre (yeah right, I'm sure thats how it got stuck up there), to the horrifying / heartbreaking accidents.
My personal worst was probably a cricket injury, playing a paddle/scoop shot behind square, down on one knee feeling like a pro, went to take off for a run and my right big toe decided it didn't want any ligaments anymore. Its fairly tame but as a poster above said, these injuries often do more damage long term (hallux rigidus here I come).
I had a more freakish accident going to jump from some grass up onto a concrete ramp when I was still at school (taking a shortcut rather than following the path). Where the concrete met the grass it has a gutter with a bit of a lip slightly above the grass and I slipped on takeoff, foot went sliding into the concrete and ripped my little toe off. Had it successfully stitched back on and hasn't given me any grief since, but I remember hopping on one leg to the sick bay going "I've chopped my toe off", and my mates not believing me and taking the piss.

Yup, that's the one. In my case though, they cocked up trying to fix it and cause a very painful haemothorax instead. I was off work for two months all in all.

Had a spiral fracture of the right leg when I was 14, was a bit of a mess. When I got to the hospital one nurse picked up my ankle and the other held my knee up and it drooped in the middle - ow!! Was a bit of a tit and accidently put weight on my cast after I came out of hospital and broke it inside the cast again. Wont be doing that again in a hurry

Impaled a buttock cheek whilst trying to climb a spiked fence when I was about eight. Got me a week off school though.

Take your pick....
Fractured eye socket - I ran into a brick wall whilst playing indoor 5-a-side football!
Broken jaw - I got beaten up when much younger - it was completely unprovoked!
3 broken ribs - I went arse over tit following a tough challenge on a very hard pitch at Preston Park!
Broken ankle - I slipped over on site visit, wearing a pair of boots that were 2 sizes too big!

O add one damaged disc at base of my spine and a tear in a knee cartilage both of which i am managing with exercises..hmm lost part of an ear too does that count?

When I was 15 I broke my neck in 1 place and fractured it in 2 others as a result of a motorbike accident. Spend 8 weeks bed bound, 8 weeks from waist to top of head in a plaster cast then 12 weeks in a surgical collar, took my 'O' levels in that cast as well. More recently (still a few years ago mind you) broke my wrist playing football.
