Tell me your story about breaking a bone or stitches?

Answer 1

a bone or stitches?? what about many bones and many stitches?? ill start with the bones.. when i was under 2 i fell in a ditch, drs said i must have bruised the cartlige, but wouldnt take xrays even after my parents said they would pay for them.. a few months later i got a pair of roller skates, i put them on and down i went., my arm went under the china cabinet, and i broke it.. thats when they realized my arm was broken before.. once i was mad at my siblings cause they wouldnt let me play in their club house so i decided to break it, i picked up a 14lb barbell weight and dropped it on my foot.. crushed my foot.. this was when i was around 3. when i was 12, i fell off the top of a slide.. i broke 2 bones,you could actually see it, i just looked up and said momma i think i broke my arm.. a few weeks later the bones came unset, so the dr had to rebreak my bones.. i refused to be put to sleep. it hurt alot, but my mum finally told him to put me to sleep... ok stiches, i had stitches in my foot from stepping on glass, stitches in my forhead because my sister made me fall, stitches in my chin cause i fell on the kitchen counter, and then when i got them out i was swimming and my cousonkicked me in the chin. and i had to go get more stitches... stitches under my eye from something else my sister done to me, and i have had 4 knee surgurys, which of course all of them had stitches.... well i think i have covered them all!!

Answer 2

It is okay to laugh at this! My left thumb has been broken 3 times. Yep, 3.
1st was the middle bone below the knuckle when a friend was goofing with me and sat on it. 6 weeks in a cast because the break was in the growth plate and I was fine.

2nd was during gym playing kick basketball- I caught the ball and it snapped the bone that goes into the hand, below the thumb. Another 8 weeks in a cast and that one came off the day before my homecoming dance.

3rd was in college, was out drinking and as I was getting out of the car and waving to my friends I slammed the door- yeah, right on my thumb! The bone at the tip of the finger was shattered and the nail bed destoyed. I refused a cast and asked for a splint instead. They had to relieve the pressure under the nail by burning a hole in it and letting the fluids escape.
Oh, and I was in college for my nursing degree with the last one. Lord, did they laugh!

Answer 3

i broke my arm sledding down this big a$$ snow hill when i was 19.. a bunch of us from work decided to go sledding at night and i slammed into another girl i work with.. broke my right arm- both bones and had to have surgery and have a splint thing around my arm for like 6 weeks...along with like "interior" stitches.. they were inside the incision and they were desolving.. they were supposed to disolve after tinme but i think my body rejected them cuz every once in a while id get this little black "knot" looking thing that would like squeeze itself out of my skin... i assumed it was the ties from the stitches... my doctor siad "it happens"....it was kinda freaky tho....... i now have two "line" scars.. one is a lil thicker than the other but both are about 5 inches long

Answer 4

when i was 5 yrs old my sister (who is 2 yrs younger than me.) and i were jumping on a exercise trampoline that we had in the house. she got mad and pushed me off. I feel and hit my right elbow on the metal around the trampoline. Well that yr we had a big snow come through our area. so my mom called my dad at work, then she had to call our road commissioner and he had to come out and clean our drive way and clean all the roads so that my dad could get home and take me to the ER. When we got there they did x-rays and told my mom and dad that my elbow was sprained and that in a couple weeks it would be better. A couple days later we went back to the drs. office and the dr. said that my elbow was broke that the person who read the x-rays at teh hospital read them wrong. The Dr. said that he had drs ready over at the hosptal to take me into surgery as soon as i got there. I ended up with 2 pins in my right elbow. Then after i got them taken out i had 16 weeks of therapy so i could straighten my arm out,since i had had it in a sling for several weeks.

Answer 5

How about running to answer a telephone as a kid and getting the leg of an end table caught between two toes causing a broken toe.

Answer 6

Was fooling around in the backyard with my slightly overweight friend. While playing football, he landed on me and I went to the hospital due to extreme pain in my shoulder. After a lot of morphine and rest, they took x-rays which revealed a type 3 shoulder separation. 5 weeks+physical therapy=missed football season.

Answer 7

i broke my right hand when i was 7 because i was riding my bicycle and my friend threw a basket ball under the wheel which pushed me off so i tried blocking the fall with my right hand but instead my arm pushed down which caused my arm to break. i wore a cast for 8 weeks.

Answer 8

well no broken bones.... yet.... but here they are...my injury stories

when I was a senior in HS. I rolled my ankle really bad at cheerleading practice( everyone in the room heard the pop,pop,pop). I sat out of practice for like 20 mins until i could put weight on my ankle and the pain went away. I finished practice(stupis move number 1) then went home and got ready for All Star practice(stupid move #2), and to top it all off I never went to the doctor because i had nationals that weekend i wasn't missing them(stupid move #3). anyway the mext day my ankle looked like someone had stuffed two softballs in it. Thank God u couldn't wear shorts at my school cause if my mom had seen the ankle i would have been forced to go to the Dr. So i wrapped my ankle which didnt give much support. What sucked the most is that my high school has an athletic trainer for injuries and she just happened to be my homeroom teacher. and by the time that friday rolled around my ankle had come down to the size of one softball. anyways when it came time to compete i just wrapped my ankle and then taped it and hoped for the best. My ankle still doesn't feel right and still gives on me everyonce and a while. i have twisted that ankle at least 5 times since, and at cheerleading my jumps have suffered cause i'm scared to whip them like i used to because i know it will happen again and next time i won't be so lucky.

This summer while i was playing beach volleyball, i went for a low ball and my left knee twisted inward. I continued to play cause the pain wasn't that bad (its my stupidity complex or just competitve nature, not sure which). Well that night when i got home my knee was a little stiff and swollen so i RICED it and went to bed. well the mext morning when i woke up my knee was killing my the swelling hadn't gone done (it actually got bigger) and at this point i could put hardly any weight on my knee. so i hobbled the best that i could to the immediate care and injury center where they took xrays and did a physical exam both which showed nothing. but my knee was immobolized for 10 days and i was put on crutches until i was able to bear weight(4 days). when i went back to the clinic after 10 days my knee was still swollen and very tender so an MRI was ordered, this showed a minor tear in my MCL i was told to continue with immobolization for two more weeks until my followup. at that point the swelling had began to come down but the pain and stiffness were still there, so i was finally refered to an ortho(4 weeks post) i was still wearing the immobolizer but was weight bearing at this time. oh and i was told it was o.k to work all this time(i'm a CNA so i'm constantly pulling twisting and bending with or on patients, and i work 8-16 a day on my feet). well i go to the ortho and he wants me to start to go off the immobolizer at home and sends me to PT for 4 weeks. I just went back for my followup and was sent to another 4 wks of PT. My knee was finally starting to feel "normal" when BAM i trip over the end of a patients bed and jolt my knee forward the Dr said he may want ot do a second MRI just to be sure that i didn't reinjure my knee. its been 8 weeks since the inital injury and my knee is still given my hell. i still have to wear the immobolizer at work(until my hinge brace comes in). I go back to the Dr on the 25th of this month and we'll see from there what happens. that will be exactly three months since my injury.
OH, and the worst part about this injury was it happened the day before my birthday and has kept me laid up all summer which really stinks cause I live right near the ocean.

Here's the ironic part....
I didn't go to the Dr for my ankle cause i didn't want to miss cheerleading and I went ot the Dr for my knee(which was well before the start of cheerleading) and I'm missing cheerleading anyway. I have no clearance for tumbling for another four weeks.

this isn't really a question is it? It sounds more like a command. I don't respond well to commands.
