I bent and permanently disfigured me left arm when I was 7 (It's oddly curved compared to my right arm(. I also have a huge assortment of scars from various bike accidents.
How badly have you ever been physically hurt?

I broke my nose while playing football (soccer). Went up for a header and got it. The other guy didn't appreciate it and head butt me in the face. My nose was flattened, three major breaks and I needed surgery. Oh and I bled for about an hour straight then felt dizzy.
When I was about 12, I was climbing a massive tree with my mates, and what looked like a sturdy thick branch was actually dead and hollow, I plummeted about 30 feet, and the spike of a council fence drove through the back of my knee. I had to have surgery, and be in a wheelchair for 3 months, then crutches for another three, and stay out of anything physical for another 6 months. I still would eb disallowed from professional sports...
It even affects me today, I had to brinng in a hospital report to work saying my knee was well enough to lift boxes when it gave way a few months ago. And I've been told it will never be the same again.
I miss playing football...

I had to have my head glued together when I was about 6.
I broke my collar bone when I was about 12
Broke my nose when I was 14. Didn't hurt, just kept spontaneously bleeding.
So now I'm 15.

Wow... That's supposed to be the most painful injury a person could get, short of 3rd degree burns all over their body..
All I can say is, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!"..................or, maybe, "Oh, dear- that would smart something terrible!"
I dislocated my left knee walking backwards. Emergency room doctor was an idiot, but that's a story that will only be clarified via PM.
I've dislocated & shattered my knee.
Had my arm sliced open in a failed mugging attempt.
Busted my arm jumping over some railings.
Literally had my head kicked in by a group of people in a fight.
Accidentally stabbed myself in the palm & leg (different occasions).
Cracked some ribs & generally got flattened at a Biohazard concert (because I felt sorry for the fat 25 stone skinhead who took 2 songs to climb up onto the speakers to stage dive, but no one wanted to try & catch him, except muggins here).
Refused to tap-out from an arm bar in a Judo match with my instructor (which left me with one arm longer than the other for about a week).
Stuck my fingers in a live light socket & got properly electrocuted (that was cool because time seemed to slow down as I wondered what that buzzing sensation was).
Passed out after having my drink spiked & fell flat on my face onto the road, cutting & grazing my face & forehead up pretty well, plus giving me bad concussion.
The thing is, none of those injuries particularly hurt much, maybe because of the adrenalin and/or my high pain tolerance to actual damaging physical pain.
The things that have hurt the most have been quite superficial, like one time after a shower, before I got out I was brushing the surface water off my chest and stomach. My hand slipped down really fast & I flicked a bollock. That really hurt, about 5 seconds later.
Another time I had been eating really poorly for about a week & it took me over an hour to take a really large dump. That was pain on an entire new level I didn't even think was possible.

I've been sooo lucky, no dislocations, huge gashes, breaks, nothing, never had a single stitch.
I've gone thru two windows and been hit by a car, and knocked off a boat tho. Was very young when the boat thing happened and still have a phobia of open water.
The worst thing I can think of was I'd let my toenails grow a bit too much, and I ran down stairs, somehow my toe curled under my foot as it landed, tore the nail up..then back, and drove it thru the top of the toe partly. Most pain I've ever known, having never broken anything. IT then got infected and swelled up, needing antibiotics. Nail still won't grow back straight, but at least forces me to take more care of them.
What's amazing, is how much a single toe can pretty much immobilise your body, you're not walking any faster than a slow shuffle until it's in full working order again.
EDIT: For more fun, forgot about the time I got out of the bath and decided, 'hey, time I turned all that stuff off, and reached for the bundle of plugs jammed into the wall...leaning on the radiator with my wet hands to bend down. The bad part of the resulting shock was my hands clenching and gripping the radiator and plugs for a few more seconds. Strangely it was scary, but not painful, and there's some amusement to be had from the muscle spasms I had later on.

I cut my fingers pretty bad. Ended up slicing thru 2 tendons in my ring finger and 1 in my pinky.

My worst was during goalkeeper training last year where I dislocated my kneecap and was in a full leg brace for the season
I think I may have the record for the stupidest injury ever.
When I was 4, I broke my arm by repeatedly jumping off the arm of a couch and not landing on my feet. JUMPING OFF A COUCH. It was a pretty big couch though.
Runner up would be when I got thrown into the corner of a rectangular pole. The scar it left was only an inch or two long though. However, it's still there (albeit somewhat hard to see) about 5 years after I got it.

Been shot with an arrow through the arm once. Also had stage 3 hypothermia when i fell through a frozen lake.
My friends and I, for reasons I cannot recall, decided it would be a good idea to rollerblade down a rather steep and bumpy hill onto a rough concrete floor. Of course this turned out to not be such a great idea, as I ended up catching an edge of something on my skate, flipping through the air, and landing on my left wrist.
The orthopedic specialist I had to go see after the interns at the University College tired to set it and fucked it up said that it was the worst break he'd ever seen in his life.
I also fell off a roof and damn near broke my spine once, but luckily I just had a concussion.

when i was 3 i thought it would be a good idea to jump of my toilet (i was SMALL) with my tounge out... i smashed my jaw so it closed down on my tounge almost at the speed of sound and it chopped my tounge clear off the blood man holy shit then i passed out when i woke up i had so much ice cream it was crazy, i fucking needed that ice cream.
thought it would be a good idea to roll down a hill barrel style and ended up with my knee wanting to cap itself
