Torn right ACL college football 1987-reconstruction
torn left ACL semi-pro football 1992-reconstruction
broken collar bone(left) college football 1985
Have broken every finger at leat 1 x--my left index finger 3x

Suprisingly everything still works great-I credit lifting and staying in shape and still continuing to play organized sports.

I broke my left elbow and tore my bicep when a big guy rolled over it, hyperextending it, playing flat football my freshman year in college. My arm was in a sling for a couple months, and it took me another couple before I could straigthen my arm out all the way (lot's of work) since my bicep healed with my arm bent!

I also went over the handlebars at like 25mph on my bike and skidded on my face. Lost all the skin off my face (only have a small scar above my lip now), all the skin off of the top of my left arm, and broke my left hand.

Green I hear you about fingers,I don't even count fingers and toes I seem to do at least one of those every couple months.

I broke my left collar bone as a kid thinking I was a BMX superstar.

Last summer I was sanding my deck and sliped and got a 4 inch piece of treated wood go thru my hand. Had to have surgery to remove that. nice big scars on both sides of my hand.

Broe my nose 3 different times, surgery once.

I also broke my ankle playing basketball about 6 weeks before I got married! Had to drive cross country in a u-haul (with no dash lights) in a cast on my right foot. The worst part was that my toes were exposed in the (walking) cast, and the engine cover (like vans have) in the cabin was hot and I kept burning my foot on it! I did get the cast off by the wedding, though.

And of course I've broken just about every finger and toe. Had a boxer's fracture of my right hand running into a fence playing softball. Just broke my thumb in a couple places this winter playing touch football (blocking and my thumb got caught on the blitzer). My left thumb, of course (I'm left handed). BTW, the thumb really hurt! I cracked the first bone above the bottom knuckle the length of the bone, and the knuckle bone right on the end.

Oh, I have a scar on my shoulder from a hammer! My dad was trying to break a landscaping rock with a hammer, and couldn't, so I said "Let me try!" The hammer had only one claw, and I really wanted to give it my all... So I had the hammer all the way back (with my left arm having it tucked all the way behind my right shoulder), and swung! Unfortunately, that one claw dug into my right shoulder!

BTW, no major injuries here.....injured my lower back doing deadlifts at the beginning of Feb. this year - I knew better, something told me that day not to go so heavy, but I did anyway.....oh well, I did 585 for two reps last week - not where I used to be, but it's definitely coming back. This has been the longest recovery process I've gone through

Well lets see...

broken arm and teeth through my lip running a go-cart underneath a parked car.
assorted fingers and toes (don't count though right?)
2 occasions broke ribs at work
lots of stiches in face, and legs
split a finger bone and popped the finger open like a grape with a 8lb hammer
concussion when I was really small (quit breathing for a little while and turned a nice blue (so I'm told)
bruised a heel bone twice (you wouldn't believe how much that can hurt)
dislocated both shoulders in high school playing football. one of them is still really prone to it now.
thats about all I can think of off hand. Not so much really. I think the emotional pain from failed relationships has been worse, but I'm just a sensative kind of guy. :D

torn acl
torn ligaments in knees
" " ankle
torn muscles in ankle
fractured ankle
torn quad (this was the worst)
back problems not sure exactly what
dislocated shoulder.

came close to breaking my neck once, got out with torn & pulled muscles, and jamming it.

That just about covers it.

Hey Bigs, that was a nasty wound in my hand. My hand slipped off the block of wood I was sanding with and impailed my hand. I don't really go to the Dr.'s for anything but I looked down, looked at my girl and said I think I should go to the hospital. When I got there They took hours locating the hand Surgeon, so I was admitted and they operated the next morning. I stayed in the hospital for 5 more day's on demerol (sp?) and IV antibiotics. That wood is poisen, no joke at all.

i was stabbed by a drunk in a club i worked at, the doc said 2 more inches and a collapsed lung. also broken beer bottles over head, broken poolsticks over head just scars no biggie. the only training related injury i have is i tore something in both shoulders at seperate times, bad form or too much weight without a proper warmup.
