Stupid injury

[Region3]

Yesterday I was cutting some cheese when I felt something go in my hand. I was hoping it'd be ok after a nights sleep, but it's still not right today.

It's weird, like damage to a tendon maybe. It's not massive pain, but whenever I try to grip something I get the same type of pain you get when you bang your funny bone, and my hand just lets go. It's not that it's too painful to use pressure with my fingers, my hand just won't let me do it.

I've got quite a few games lined up so I hope it won't affect my golf, but I think it will.

What's the stupidest injury you've ever had???

i thought you were going to say it was like one of those horrific accidents where the nife goes straight through your hand and you don't feel anything :S

What's the stupidest injury you've ever had???

i was running in the changing rooms at the local pool when i was about 12 or 13... i slipped and went head first towards the corner of a cubicle. i put my hands out to save me but all that happened was that one finger went one side of the edge and one went the other and i sliced my hand open right up between two fingers half way through my hand! now that was stupid!!!

No, nothing so gory!

I cut through my thumb once trying to cut a pizza into slices with a carving knife. That stung a bit!

Hard Cheese

Nope, Edam.

It's like rubber when you try to cut it, just squashes down.

I know they say cheese can give you nightmares but this is ridiculous.

 

[freddielong]

Lets just hope it doesn't keep you out to long

15 years old, sat lenghtways on the sofa with my legs crossed at the ankle.

Mum sat on the end cushion of the sofa, her dress catching the toes of my left foot turning my left leg over my right leg and knackering ligaments in my knee.

aged about 6 was playing tug of war with my Neighbour, Christopher Williams who was about 8. We were using a bamboo stick through a chain link fence.

He let go and the stick went into the inside of my thigh

Went to hospital with a 5ft bamboo pole sticking out me leg screaming

Nice One Fragger

Trying to undo a bolt that was holding on one of the bannister rails, my hand slipped and I punched myself on the nose which started to bleed.

I've also sneezed and headbutted the steering wheel before.

never heard a bamboo pole scream.


mine was at swimming pool when I was a scout leader.
took them all swimming - cos they couldn't escape from there. smarty says 'how do you do butterfly? idiot demonstrates - met the end of the pool with both arms back - doesn't blood go a long way in water?

welsh doc - oh yes that's broken - yank!

About age 11 or 12 I was cycling along and for some reason decided I needed to see what was happening behind me as I continued on, next thing I knew I'd crashed into the back of a stationary RAF truck - ouch!

Another time, same kind of age, I was kicking the football round the garden, decided to kick the ball hard with my weaker left foot, half missed the ball and broke my toe on solid contact with a rockery bed boulder - ouch again!

Haven't hurt myself cutting cheese yet though!

Does breaking your neck count as a stupid injury?

In 1984 when I was 14 I went to the swimming with my pals and after 10 minutes I was diving in when my feet slipped and I went into the shallow end head firtst (no hands) and cut my head ... after telling the attendant I had pins and needles it was off to hospital and flat on my back for 8 weeks.

I had crushed 3 vertibrae in my neck and was 1.5" shorter than when I had a medical before swimming for Scotland boys.

Please don't read if you're squeamish....I stuck a penknife in my eye when I was 10. That WAS stupid. Might half explain my bi-polar golf.

 

[vig]

Severed my achiles when I was 12 in a sledging accident.

Stood on a reinforcing bar that went right through my foot and in doing so took a plug out of the sole of my trainer which appeared on top of my foot.

Had a can of expanding foam explode on me.

Knocked myself unconscious on a goalpost clearing a shot from my line.

Suffered concussion from running into an hanging basket.

Nearly decapitated myself on a washing line that I tried to ride under on my bike.

Stitches in my head when an house brick fell on it.

Oh and a few stupid ones as well.

 

[pokerjoke]

please dont pair me with Vig hes accident prone.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Yeah Vig wins, no contest

we defer

And Ask Imurg, I've had a few good ones in my time

Vig is obviously a superior / inferior being

Fragger

 

[bigbiffa]

heres mine....after a good few shandies at the local pool hall we headed home. on the way out there are 22 steps which(in our infinite wisdom)we decided to jump. so, my two m8's went first, and landed safely on the floor at the bottom.on my turn i jumped, miscalculated, hit the last step with my @rse, broke my coccyx and spent the nxt 4 wks struggling to be anything other than doubled over in pain. the toilet times were great fun! mind u the painkillers were magic!

I've had a few stupid injuries; I was riding a bmx with no brakes and a car pulled out when I was going pretty much full speed. I broke my right leg pretty severely(or the car did), and my face was smashed up. I had facial surgery, and my leg was in a cast for 8 months.
I also broke both my arms in a BMX accident, most of mine are BMX related now I think of it.
