One time there was a dog running loose as I was returning to my friends house after going to the coffee shop.

The dog came running right at me and I could hear the owner yelling at me to try and catch him. So of course I try, but stupidly, really stupidly. I happened to be carrying 2 cups of coffee in a carrier but instead of putting it down to try to grab the dog I tried to grab his collar with one hand as he dashed by.

He was bigger than I thought, running faster too. Bent my elbow back the wrong direction, unbelievably painful. Better, I didn't even stop the dog. I had no health insurance back then so I just sort of swung my arm backwards until the joint popped back into place. After a day or so I could barely move my arm.

Eventually it got better but I have pretty bad arthritis in my elbow now from it, so it's been like a 20 year injury

Whats everyone's worst injury?
I've got a torn LCL right now, 3 herniated disks, my ribs still hurt from a jet ski accident in 2013, punctured a lung and broke 4 ribs, I've had surgery on my right shoulder twice for loose ligaments, causing an impingement of the nerves, and a permanent wrist injury from tennis. Oh and chronic cervical pain from a mountain biking accident.

Whats everyone's worst injury?
In 2019 I dislocated my knee playing softball. Almost lost my lower leg due to damaging the artery that goes through the knee. Luckily they fixed it and I got to keep the leg. Lots of other damage, had to reconstruct ACL, LCL,and PCL.

Also caused nerve damage that never healed, I can't really feel my left shin and the top of my foot. The whole area is numb and tingly all the time. Couldn't walk without an AFO (brace for ankle/foot) due to drop foot. In 2021 I had a tendon transfer surgery, then had to relearn how to walk again. Now I can walk without the brace, although my balance is awful.

Total of 6 surgeries so far since it happened, but I'm happy to be walking and not in a wheelchair or anything else.

Y'alls stories are way better than mine.
It's probably concussing myself on a bike, head on pavement and found by a neighbor, no recollection.
That or tearing my meniscus while trying to hang clean 205.

One time I stepped on a Lego which made me stumble and stub my toe on the coffee table

Never broke anything.
Have sprained some fingers.
Ripped my big toe nail off running in flip flops when I was a kid.

I’m such an extreme dude.

Broke my ankle in 3 places running away from the z-wall at a Spartan race at Killington. Surgery, 12 pins and a plate.

Currently dealing with partial thickness humeral surface supraspinatus (rotator cuff) tear that’s been bothering me since April.

Dislocated my shoulder mountain biking last fall, I was trying to keep up with my fast friends. Then my buddy's brother drove my car (and rode the clutch) 2+ hours to the local hospital to get my shoulder reinstalled, had surgery a few months later but it's all good now thanks to lots and lots of PT

I love Killington. Great skiing, mountain biking, and a dope ass spartan race. Sad to hear it isn't a pleasant experience for you.

Not bad. I've broken ~20 bones or so, worst being my tailbone. Then my knee is going on 4 years of being jacked after I flipped a quad and it rolled over on me.

Oh and I cut my fingy last night
