Default Broken Bones: What breaks have you had?

When i was younger, my brother managed to break so many bones, the nurses knew him by sight. I never did break anything apart from a toe nail. Once i had an almost broken arm but that was it. I always wanted a caste for some reason, maybe just to get everyone to sign it.

What breaks have people had? It is always interesting to hear the stories. Don't be too graphic... some people might be a little squeamish.

Hahaa you want a cast crazy man. They're meant to be the itchiest things in the world.

Anyway I've broke my fingers countless times boxing and playing football by lying on my hand.

The sorest I've had was breaking my toe i couldn't walk so god knows what breaking a leg or foot is like.

I broke my dads femur with one muay thai roundhouse kick lol meant to be the strongest bone in the body too.

I broke both of my arms when i was child. But not at the same time. Broke the right arms by flying off a sea-saw when i was like 8 years and he was 16.
The other time i crashed down the wall of a construction site we were playing at as kids a year later. These plastercasts start itching horribly after a little time.

Not to many broken bones for me that I can speak of. So far, I've broken a few ribs (on two separate occassions) and, most recently, the baby toe on my left foot. The broken ribs hurt like a son-of-a-gun for quite some time but did not require any medical treatment (no casting, taping...nothing, just rest and extra precautions) and, as for my little piggy (ha ha) I just had a doctor at a local medical clinic "twist and turn it back into place". I thought it was going to hurt real bad but, truth is, I hardly felt the doctor put it back into place and it healed both nicely and quickly. Granted, my foot was pretty black and blue for a bit but, besides discoloration, it was no worse for wear then it was before the actual break. Oh, and as for my broken ribs, both times they broke were from, oddly enough, persistant and harsh coughing. Go figure, eh?!

Few years ago, while playing football, I got my foot twisted like anything and the result was my ankle suffered a crack. It took months to heal them completely and it pained like anything specially the first few days. It got swollen like anything and resembled to that of elephant's feet. Finally, the pain is all gone but still when I go for any exercise related to my feet, the subsided crack reminds me of the pain, still !

I never had a broken bone before as far as I can recall but I do have problems with my bones because I am suffering from scoliosis so often times I suffer from sever backache which is not good at all for me because I need to maintain proper posture all the time especially if I need to carry patients in the hospital.

I broke my wrist bone when I was 13. I was on a tennis summer clinic then. I hit the ball real hard and the coach didn't tell me that I was hitting it the wrong way. I also got a tennis elbow which hurts badly up to now whenever the weather is cold.
