Never broken anything, thank God. :)

The worst injury I ever sustained was a rather deep wound at the side of my right ankle. My ankle got stuck in the spokes of a bicycle wheel while it was cycling at top speed (I was sitting on the frame of the bicycle while my dad was cycling). o.o; Thankfully my ankle didn't break.

Two :) When I was 6 I fell and broke my Radius and my Ulna in my left wrist. Hurt like hel and I had to wear a cast for the whole summer holidays. I COULDN'T SWIM!!! :cryBut I feel sorry for my dad. One time while he was being referee at a football (soccer to you Yanks) he fell over his ankle and it hurt like hell. He ever went to a doctor but a year later his ankle hurt so he went to the doctor and it turned ou he had broken his ankle but since he had taken it easy on the ankle after the fall it had healed almost perfectly.

No, not that I know of.

My arm when I was about eight.

I broke my leg once. I ran into my grandmother's dog when I was four.

No, but I nearly fractured my nose.

Sort of...

First I got pushed off a wall and landed funny on my wrist. That night, I then had a dress rehearsal for a dance show and (stupidly) cartwheeled on it. The pain was so awful so I went to A&E where I had a hairline fracture and had to have my wrist in a cast. I still danced though!

Also, when I was in Austria on a school trip, I fell and landed on the sharp edge of a metal ramp as it was slippy. I couldn't move or walk and I was completely hysterical. After rushing to hospital in an ambulance, numerous X-rays and humiliation (if having to bare your bum in front of your German teacher isn't humiliating, I don't know what is!), they found out that I hadn't cracked my pelvis as they had originally thought, but chipped my tailbone. Hurt like heck. I had a bruise the shape of France on my bum and the phrase "Helen broke her smurf" is still in use even to this day!

And of course, the imfamous dislocating elbow. Anyone remember the banana story? :oops:

No, I've never broken a bone.

Nope, never have.

Never broken anything... But I see many others here are the same...

Nope. Twisted my ankle at a concert I REALLY wanted to go to one time, so that kinda annoyed meh.

Never broken anything, which I suppose excludes me from a lot of fiction-writing until I have. Write what you know, after all.

My right hand middle finger, three days before a piano exam. I'm pretty sure it was broken and not a sprain (which I've had...two or three of, fingers and ankles). Needless to say...

1/ Closing my right hand into a fist didn't work and looked kinda suggestive.
2/ I had to reschedule my piano exam to a date 5 months later.

I broke my wrist a little over a year ago.

I "broke" my left arm twice, 'cept the first time was false. I was like, four maybe... I don't remember it well, but I was using our couch cushins to form a small bridge to our wooden coffee table, less than a foot away. Stupidly, I tried crawling accross it and I guess I snapped my arm some how. I don't even remember it hurting... o_O Turned out, it didn't actually brake, but may have been an error due to the X-ray machine. Still had to wear the flippin' cast though.

The second time was back in fourth grade when I was serving as an instructor to my old Taekwondo school (hell was that place). Anyway, I came in on Wednesday and the kids were practicing freefalling. Even though I was a Recommened Black Belt (almost black belt) I had never learned how to free fall. Well, the senior instructor was pushing each kid lightly as they squatted on a matt, and they bounced right back up as your supposed to. I had dozed out, that place doesn't have air conditioning and you have to wear the thick robe even in the summer monthes, and the instructor pushed me. No warning, nothing. I snapped my olna and radius and am just thankful to this day that my mom had decided to watch me teach for the first time. <3 The people there had no idea what to do, and she was a former sports medicine person, thing. Needless to say, I hate that place with a passion comparable to the gravitational pull of a billion black holes. :x
