Oh... Some injuries with blood. Thanks for the mental images. Really, thank you.

My worst injury had to be this gaping hole in my knee from when I was about 4 or 5. It was not a pretty sight. I don't know how I got it, but it was bad.

---

The worst injury I've had was a sprang ankle. And that not even that bad compared to others >.< But then there was that time when I got my tonsils and andnois(can spell) taken out... But that's not really a injury XD

---

I was a safety child and still now i am watching safety causes so the worst thing that has happened to me was when my dog got a bump on my head :P

---

Burnt my right side of my right foot on a motorbike abroad. Now think people. Look at your right aide of your right foot. How is it even possible to burn that side of the motorbike 0_0. Played football in Park with friends, fell down. Got like a scar in my left knee. Both accidents are scars for life. 8th birthday fell in the garden, went to hospital as I nearly cut my eye, my skin just under my eyebrow needed stiches

---

Another bike accident. When I was about 8 or so, I was going down my friend's driveway and forgot to brake. I ran into their basketball goal and nearly broke my arm.

---

mine wasn't too bad, but it left a scare in my mouth that I cant stop putting my toung on lol, so I was like 5 and I was eating cake on a table, so I was sitting on a stool and fell and my chin hit the table and my teeth drove right under my skin

---

These two were equally painful, I broke my skull on the cement floor after falling out of a two story window, when i was 4 DX and a year later i broke my ribs

---

(finally found this long lost ancient thread .-.)
I had a fatal burn injury 8 years ago when I was kid because my nanny accidentally spilled hot cooking oil to my leg.

---

The worst injury I ever had was when I fell down the stairs and got a bruise in my knee, where it usually touches the floor if I walk. So even if the injury itself is really not that bad, but walking became painful. At first I thought I sprained my ankle, but it was only a bruise in, like, the worst possible spot. Shouldn't complain though, most people who fell from the top to the bottom of the stairs get broken bones.

Let's see...

I was chopping some vegetables when I was in ninth grade. The knife slipped and I cut right into my index and middle finger. It all happened pretty quickly and it didn't really hurt either, I just spent a second or two swearing, simply because that's what you do when you mess up, and then went to clean the wounds up and stuck some nice bandages around my fingers to stop the bleeding. I went back to chopping the vegetables after that.

Then what I think was late October or early November last year, I was stupid enough to trip on my own pajama bottoms and fall over. It wouldn't have been that bad if I hadn't fallen face first onto the edge of my nightstand. I got a nice black eye and few cuts on my face. I was kind of lucky though, I was pretty close to hitting my left eye right on the sharp corner of the nightstand and that could have actually done some serious damage to my eye. Luckily, the bridge of my nose took that hit and everything healed nice and quick. It friggin' hurt though and my face was sore and stinging for hours.

And that's it. I kid you not, that's the worst I've ever had. I was always a calm kid with no desire to do anything moronic that could potentially hurt me. The moronic shenanigans I had as a child were the 'non-hazardous to you health' kind of shenanigans.

Injury thread, huh?

Well....a long time ago I remember having a habit of tackling my dad.

I did that while I was near a door with a glass window, and my elbow broke the glass, and I had a couple of glass cuts on my elbow. It didn't really hurt all that much, but I was pretty scared when they started to bleed. Thankfully, we super-glued the injuries and everything was okay again.

Life lesson: Don't use extremespeed on your dad near something made of glass.

Once when I was about 6, i went to play golf with my dad. While we were riding in the golfcart, i stood up and i fell off it while it was still moving, then my big brother didn't see me and he accidentally ran over my foot. There was lots of blood, and i couldn't go to PE at school for a while. I still have the scar today.

Hm, about physical injuries...
Once I was riding a horse (I was ~10) and wearing shorts. It was pretty chill and peaceful. On my way back to the stables though there was a barbed wire fence opening i had to go through (which should be enough for a horse and its rider usually) but I was riding a really tall horse, seeing how the one I usually rode was injured and couldn't carry people around.
I squeezed through with the horse and I felt a scratch on my right knee but I didn't really bother to check since it didn't hurt. When I got off the horse though I felt itchy on my knee (the scratched one) and without looking I scratched part of it. I felt something wet on my hand though which made me look.
My knee had two large, deep cuts on the inner side, and blood was gushing out. There was a trail of blood that would go all the way from my wounds to the inside of the sandal I was wearing at the time, and a pool of blood started forming underneath my foot.
The dude who took care of the stables, when he saw my leg, his eyes grew like 500% as he stared dumbfounded lol. But then he snapped out of it and helped me contain the blood, and wash my leg. Then he called a security car to take me to the place's nurse.
I was supposed to get about 10 stitches on the first cut, and 12 on the other. But we were in the middle of nowhere at a farm so the nurse didn't have the resources to do so. She managed to patch it up with some medical tape (what she called false stitches) and I had to change the bandages twice a day.
Fun times lol



And well. If illnesses count too, then there was this time (about 2-3 years ago) I was hospitalized due to kidney infection.
I spent all day on the computer with cramps and I started getting some back pain, and I thought it was because of the computer chair. I also had my period at the time so I didn't pay attention to the cramps. At one point the pain started growing a bit so I laid down on my bed in fetal position, trying to see if the pain would go away. When I started shivering and trembling (I never get bad cramps) my mom decided to take me to the emergency room. She started noticing something was wrong when I actually asked her to take me to the doctor.
When we got to the waiting room I sat down and waited for my mom to do her thing (hand in documents to the receptionist etc) and the pain would get worse and worse and worse. By the time they called us to see the doctor, I was shivering as much as I would be if I were naked on the snow. Tears were streaming down my face but I didn't say a word about it lol
So we met the doctor who was going to check up on me, and he couldn't lay a finger on me without me screaming with pain. So they gave me 2L of liquid painkillers in my vein so they could examine me.
First doctor didn't know what was going on, he asked a colleague to help. He didn't know what was going on either, so he took me to a 3rd doctor. That doctor thought it was my appendix - my mom wasn't sold on it but the doctor literally said to my mom's face "well we can open her up. If it's not her appendix, we just close her up". So my mom demanded another doctor and didn't want that last one to even get close to me anymore lol.
After lots of exams and what it seemed to be an episode of House MD they called the director of the place, who ordered a couple more tests and told me to go home for the night and come back early in the morning (the pain killers would last for at least another 12h and we had spent the whole day over there).
The next day when we show up the director was like "We ordered a urine test, and the results are here. A normal person is supposed to have 10.000 white cells in their urine, and whenever someone hits 1.000.000 we usually hospitalize them because it means they have a pretty bad infection. Right now, you have 6.237.564 white cells. You're going straight to the hospital."
Turns out if I had waited a bit more I would've had kidney failure and needed a transplant, or even died.
And that's how I ended up being hospitalized for a week, with antibiotics being pumped up inside my veins in an amount they'd usually give to a small horse.
THE END

When I was in sixth grade, I tripped on a stairwell while at school and my head slammed on the edge of one of the stairs, and that was my first concussion. Then, literally my first day back in school after that, I fell out of my chair, and the way I'd hit my elbow caused it to fracture. So that was kind of majorly awkward.

Then there was another time, like four-ish years ago, I was riding my younger brother's bike (don't really remember why I wasn't on mine, but whatever). I was going down this hill, and the bike was going faster than I'd have liked, and realised the brakes weren't working. I hit a gravelly patch, and flung myself off the bike, which skidded along for a while afterwards. I was bleeding rather a lot, and actually had a minor concussion (totally glad I'd been wearing a helmet). I still have a lot of scarring on my left knee, arm (right around the elbow area), and shoulder.


If illnesses are being counted, for the week before the fourth of July when I was in either 1st or 2nd grade I'd been vomiting practically nonstop, to the point where the stomach acid and bile had eaten part of my esophagus and so I was throwing up blood too. Went to the hospital for that, and found out I had some sort of infection which, combined with my cyclic vomiting, had triggered the week-long vomiting.

(Some of these storys are really scary at least to me because nothing really bad happened to me yet)

Im a kid thats really careful x3 Im afraid of shots and extremely afraid of having surgery.. it sounds scary D:

This is probably the worst injury i've gotten

So i was playing with my dad (When i was younger.. 4-5?) and he was tickling me (We liked playing that XD) But then he had accidentally held onto my arm and pulled it out of socket (Or something like that) And so then we had to go to the hospital and only bend it a certain way or something then it was fine
But i remember my arm hurting if i moved it
I dont remember which arm though (I forgot most of the details)

Then 2-3 weeks ago i was playing with one of my cats and i decided to Be an idiot act like it was spidercat From the simpsons.. Spider pig spider pig! XD so i held onto it and had acted like it was climbing a wall but then it turned and kinda jumped from my hands and clawed a little under my right eye so that bled for a little bit (It wasn't That bad though)

Playing frisbee with my friend and it hit my nose

---

THE WORST, WELL, I HIT MY HEAD WHILE IN THE BATHROOM AND SLIPPED.
I CRIED LIKE A BABY.

---

oh god. there were too much to count them all.
And since I won´t go in detail for most of them.. let´s shorten the story for most of my injuries: The worst were cuts. Definitely. They happened..for reasons I won´t share. But for many of them I ended in the ER of our local hospital and got stitched up several times. Got surgery for 3 or 4 or them.

Then there were the childhood accidents xD
I´ve fallen from trees or rocks several times and got some bleedings wounds nearly any time I fell from something to the ground. The weren´t that spectacular.

I´ve burned myself with boiling water several times when I was between 13 and 15 because I was.. silly xD I just weren´t carefull enough while cooking tea/coffee/whatever hot drink or even when I made some instant noodle foods.

About a year or maybe a year and a half ago I had a car accident. I was driving (guess I wanted to the doctor, can´t remember correctly) when another car hit mine. The glasses broke and they´ve gone deep into my arm. The worst cut wound from that accident was treatened with 10 staples and took long to heal and left an ugly scar (which I don´t care about since well.. xD). No bones were broken, just the cuts on my arm from the broken glass of my car and some bad headache.


let´s go to the injuries I´ve got while handling animals:

When I was 18 and still lived in a smaller village with lot´s of horses around I enjoyed riding them. It was fun. ofc I´ve fallen from them several times but those accidents weren´t that worse. Well, got kicked by a horse at the hip, nothing broke but it was painfull as hell. A Shire Horse with a weight of 1300 kilos stepped on my foot and the horse did not move for about half an hour since I was too weak to move it, it just was too heavy for me xD 3 toes broke.

Then I got several dog bites. From seperating fighting dogs. Most of them happened when I still lived in Finland. My Dad and my uncle had a Sled Dog Farm. And whenever the dogs had fights while I was with them I seperated them. They never bit me on purpose, those bites were accidents too.

And in my job. I was working as zoo keeper at a former local pet store. We had some exotic animals there. Cockatoos, Snakes, Spiders, Salt water fishes. Bite accidents were nearly daily. The most spectacular was with a moray eel. I was putting some corals for a customer aside and didn´t know we got that moray few hours earlier. So the animal was really pissed and bit me when I had my hand in it´s tank. And with moray eels it´s like you can´t force them to release you since they would bite you even more. I had to wait about 2 hours when the moray released my hand. The bite was pretty deep put I just got it cleaned and wrapped up. No stitches or treatment needed. Except a injection to protect the wounds of being infected.

And the worst injury with animals I got from touching a Conidae/Cone snail. Cone snails are that toxic and dangerous that they can kill humans with their "venom". I was lucky enough to survive that but my left upper body half was numb for several weeks and I couldn´t move my arm and head for nearly half a year. plus the pain I had were the worst I´ve ever had. never thought being a zoo keeper at a pet store could be that "dangerous... but it was fun working there xDD

worst injury i had?

theres many of them but heres one:

while waiting in my classroom for the teacher to come
my pencil scratched a bit of my skin and caused a tiny
but painful scratch were i could actually see my flesh!

;_;

Mine is pathetic compared to these but here it is.

When I born I had two heart problems. A operation was made to get rid of one of them.They cut open my back to do it.... I still have a long pale scar there...

This isn't really an injury but I mentioned I had two heart problems. Well the first one is still there... I still have a heart problem and I have to go to the hospital every year to get it checked. I may get another operation to help it...
