  2. Did the same thing to my wrist – took a small chip out of one of the joints and spent 8 weeks in plaster.

    How did I break it? I stepped over a 1 foot high fence!

  3. I fell over running through a car park back to the car in Bury and put my arm through my shoulder and up my neck. I was taken to Oldham for surgery. This is much delight for my work colleagues who tell everyone.

  4. I was feeling a bit backed up as of late so I took a Dulcolax last night, I woke up having completely forgotten that I had taken it

    Went and had a coffee and cigarette this morning as per usual, there was no reason not to trust that routine as far as I knew

    The fart was not trustworthy

  6. My left little is currently purple having caught it again on the bedroom door frame with nowt on my feet.  

  7. I broke my big toe couple of years ago, my old desk collapsed on me and when I was building the new one I dropped it on my foot. I feel your pain!

    All of my bone breaks have been pretty ridiculous.

    Broke my little finger by kicking it when doing silly dancing.

    Broke my cheek bone falling off a BMX that was far too small for me and had no breaks.

    Broke my nose falling over a very heavy little stall at uni, the possibly only night I was out and sober.

  8. I was putting rubbish out the back in just socks a couple of years ago. The missus had put bricks on the bags to stop them blowing and yep one of the bricks fell onto my foot.
    I put off going to casualty for a week but it turned a funny colour and it turned out I’d broken a metatarsal.

  9. My left thumb (I am left handed) for some unknown reason began hurting intensely, but had ceased hurting within 4 days.

  11. Made a save playing 5 a side about 9 weeks back. The middle knuckle on my little finger remains twice as big as it ought, and points the finger slightly away from the others. Two x-rays and three physio sessions later have not solved it. The prognosis: “You have always had dodgy fingers, and your accident has made them really dodgy”.

  12. I broke three metatarsal bones in one go once. Tickled a bit…

  13. Not recent. Me and my brother coming back drunk, we lived in the same block of flats, i was pushing my bike, he was walking, it started raining so I jumped on the bike and we got moving, I slapped him on the back of the head, he kicked my front wheel, I came off and shattered my clavicle. I needed a titanium plate installed, it was hell for about 8 months. Took my brother years to admit that he did that. Lil shit!

  14. Recently sliced my pinky in half – trying to kill a wasp with a mug 😩

  15. Not a recent one, but I broke my collarbone twice, once skateboarding with a rope attached to a car, the next time flying a kite…

  16. I’m 34 and ride dirtbikes most everyday. Never broke a bone in my life. Stepped of a 1ft high wall. https://imgur.com/a/YGXtQ0F Still don’t know what happened but I’ve torn pretty much everything in my ankle.

  17. Was in a motorcycle crash broke my foot went to hospital and on the way back got into a car crash this was 2 days ago im fine but definitely unlucky hope your toe heals fast and painless

  18. Spent 6 months dragging myself to school with crippling vertigo that should’ve had me bed ridden. Passed all my tests, gf broke up with me 8 weeks ago and got with another guy less than a week after.

  21. I work in neurosurgery as the tech that shocks nerves to make sure everything is still working fine. I travel all around the UK for work and have a heavy American accent. Today I had a surgery in Edinburgh. Slept in a hotel last night and took a bus to the hospital this morning with a big suitcase of work equipment. This was a super long surgery today, so at about 10pm a registrar (in-training) neurosurgeon comes in to help close the incision. I don’t immediately recognize this man because he’s wearing a mask and surgical cap. He looks at me and says, “The American! You’ve been here all day, do you get any breaks at all?” I told him, no, not really. He then proceeds to tell me that he thought that was crazy and that he saw me on the bus this morning at 7am. The problem? What happened on the bus….

    I got my big ol’ suitcase into the bus and sat down on one of those side-facing handicap seats that flip up when not in use. It was a short trip so I kept my big backpack on and sat in the edge of one of these seats. The bus driver took a curve pretty quick and my suitcase started to tip away from me, so I sat off my seat like 6 inches to grab it and as I did this, the chair flipped up and I fell on my ass in a puddle of water and the suitcase followed and hit me on the nose and I got a bloody nose. This nice fella comes over to help me up and tells me he’s a doc. Quickly looks at my nose and confirms it’s not broken. It was honestly hilarious but I was content just sulking in that embarrassment for the rest of the bus trip and then forgetting it ever happened.

    Well, this registrar was the very doc who helped me and saw everything! He was nice about it and didn’t really say anything, but I’m not too ashamed to share a good story with a group of tuckered out healthcare workers so I told them the story with a beet-red face.

  22. Surely a broken toe would have healed fully by the time you made it through triage and into x-ray?

  23. I am going to be the dickhead that asks then??…..What is a Leprechaun heel kick thing?..pray tell…..

  24. Oof! I hope you feel better soon.

    I was cutting up a frozen cheesecake at work while also not paying any attention to what I was doing. Nicked my finger with the knife. Could have been much, much worse. However the thing that has actually upset me is the the cut is on the exact part of my finger where I hold my tension when I crochet. I now can’t do my favourite hobby until its healed which is really annoying

  25. I did this exact same thing a few years ago doing a cartwheel indoors. Broke my toe in the same place too. Mine never healed right and I still get pain to this day.

  26. Bought myself a fancy Japanese knife, made dinner and started washing up. Suddenly the water is red. I’d picked up the knife backwards and cut my thumb to the bone without noticing. It survived but movement and sensation are limited. D’oh.

  27. Not me but my mother. Pulled the living room door open quite quickly and hard for some reason. She was wearing something open toed , door caught her little toe and bent it 90 degrees.

  29. I stepped on a twig last Sunday. Fractured metatarsal and fibula on right foot and fractured scaphoid on right hand. Hadn’t even had lunch yet. And as a woman of a certain age I’m now right into the rabbit hole of osteoporosis.

  30. I recently slipped over a banana peel and stubbed my toe

  31. I stabbed myself in the hand with some cutters, hurt like a bitch, very deep definitely needed stitches, passed out on kitchen floor, came round and super glued it shut, thought it was taking too long to dry so used activator on the glue, that was a bad udea it got insanely hot and burnt my hand too, but atleast the bleeding stopped 😂
