How bad have you injured yourself doing anything pertaining to fitness or being active?

I've torn my ACL and MCL in high school when I was football. Worst pain of my life.

    Snapped a leg playing football.

    I didn't know that it was broken and played on it for a week; it hurt.

    Football injuries are no joke. I've also broken my left hand quite a few times.

    I slipped on a peddle when standing, while riding my bicycle; when I was 8 years old & slammed my crotch, onto the bicycle's frame! I walked like a cowboy, for over week & couldn't sit, I literally did everything standing, stood over the toilet & couldn't even bend over to lean on a desk, to do assignments; so I wrote my work against a wall & held my plates, when eating!

    I got hit by a car doing 35 to 40 mph while I was doing hill repeats on my bike. Woke up in the middle of the road with no idea how I got there. Spent a day in the hospital. Scariest part was when one of the doctors told me they were ordering another CT scan and "Just because you were able to get up and walk to the bathroom doesn't mean your back isn't broken. We need a better look."

    A thing with my tooth. Much, much worse than getting hit by a car.

    I can also say that I've had lots of head and face injuries, but they were mainly knots and cuts and huge bruises. Never been KO'd though! Lol
