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.

    *kitten* up a nerve in my foot. Can't point my right toes towards me without pain and if I stand too long my whole right leg starts to go numb.

    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

    I herniated 3 discs in my lower spine last year walking 3 miles a day 7 days a week for months on end (no rest) along with weight training/etc (I was being careful as I knew it was risky but not giving myself rest was likely the cause). In fairness they were already damaged from years ago, one had been fixed with surgery, the others likely were already in not so great of shape and my core had no muscle to speak of to support my spine. Too much too fast, and definitely needed to take rest days.

    2) right SI joint sprain (squats)

    Sports injuries:
    1) 3 way ligament tear (ACL, PCL, MCL) in left knee (skiing)
    2) torn right rotator cuff (skiing)
    3) broken right ankle (motorcycling)
    4) broken right clavicle (motorcycling)

    That's it. . . So far. LOL! ;)

    All of these happened while figure skating...

    Fractured my arm falling
    Was "wishbone" and pulled some nerve the runs from my shoulder to my finger tips. Couldn't move my arm the next morning
    Concussion when my brother fell on my head
    Concussion when I tripped over someone and landed on my chin...lost my peripheral vision for a few minutes
    My ankle was sliced once...still have a scar...should have gotten stitches
    Developed a chronic back issue from hyperextending my back too much.

    Dang, my brother got me hurt once too. We were wrestling on the bed when we were little and I threw my leg over his shoulder from behind and he slung me forward and off the bed, causing me to smack the back of my head on the corner of the dresser and then the floor. It was baaaad.
