    47, male

    Past:
    Ripped ankle ligaments - parkur, wall jumping.
    Broken wrist - wall fall
    Broken wrist, toes - soccer
    Broken finger, nose, various stitches - cycling
    Various sprains, dislocations from bike jumps, soccer, climbing
    Two floating bone shards from more stupid stuff (one in my hand, one on my shin).
    Neuroma from overuse in foot.
    Elbow issues from improper squatting and over use in cycling.
    Shoulder issues related to cycling. Leg muscle imbalance from cycling.

    (Most of the above resolved)

    Currently I'm dealing with feet pain, stiffness and sore knees. Something always hurts. I'm used to it.

    Activity: running, hiking, cycling (road, mtb), climbing, strength training a little yoga/stretching (not enough), want to get into tri-stuff.

    dozens of injuries playing basketball. From stoved fingers to rolled ankles. The worst was a broken wrist and a fall on my lower back that has left me dealing with a lifetime of issues.

    Running track for 10 years I never had anything more than a minor muscle strain.

    Weightlifting...never had a major injury. One bout of some elbow tendinitis when I ramped up my pull up volume too much.

    Marathon training...A strained calf, and some minor runners knee issues.

    41-year old female; broke my tailbone falling off a horse, broke a couple toes getting stepped on by a horse, had swollen ankles all through high school from playing basketball on crappy hard flooring, had shin splints for the same reason, smashed my front teeth out of my face falling off my bike. Currently I suffer from none of these, with the exception of having to bite apples, pears, etc. with my bottom teeth because now I have false front teeth.

    Age 60.

    "Scars are like tattoos but with better stories."

    Swimming event in open water at Key West. Jellyfish larvae in my swimsuit. Worst. Rash. Ever.

    Swimming open water in a lake (not a real event but a double dog dare.) Cut on nose from impact with a turtle.

    Swimming in a pool. Sprained tail bone from a flip turn.

    Mountain biking. Endo/face plant. Cuts, bruises, neck pain and back spasms. I stick to road cycling now.

    Broken foot hiking.

    Motorcycling. (Is it a sport injury if I wasn't racing?) Broken pelvis and tibia. I now occasionally set off metal detectors.

    About a month and a half ago I severely sprained my ankle when I was stepping off of my treadmill. My treadmill is in front of the high window in my living room.. I wanted to see if it was raining. The only part of it that's sport related is that it happened because of my treadmill lol but it's good for a laugh for everyone other than me!

    Love reading these. Some of those injuries are awesome, I particularly love the collision with a turtle

    Female 29, remodeled fractures to right tibia sparring, nerve damage right leg sparring, hyper extended ligament right knee volleyball, damaged top 5 vertebrae from car accidents (fubar'd at this point), right shoulder softball, right ankle softball, nerve damage left knuckle from being bitten by a kid, plantar faciitis both feet. I think that's the major ones. I am getting into zumba at a local studio because it's the only hard cardio I can do without causing neck pain and I just have to have good shoes, ice, and lots of vitamin I (ibuprofin). Most other things cause so much pain I just can't make it.
