Left leg.
Both broken at the same time exactly in the middle - leg below that point was completely loose and it was holding only on the muscle tissue.
Fell from a tree(don't ask what I was doing there).
Had to have surgery twice to place, and later remove a special piece of some metal to make sure they are straight while they link together.
3 months of cruthes and one year of rehab, but everything is fine now, only some accasional reumatism.
Only got bit fatter since then

Except that I never had anything broken.

Yeah, yeah, "Except that"... that's a pretty damn major thing to try to overlook.

Honestly? The way I landed and behaved(shock, trying to get up, etc.) after hitting the ground I'm glad it was only my leg.

No, which is damn amazing for me as i have borderline Osteoporosis (brittle bones)

So heres hoping i don't ever manage it, as i'm told breaking bones will make them even likelier to re-break in the future

Wrist. Hurt like a ***** too.

I hear that. Fractured one of those tiny wristbones upon falling off a roof... one of those tiny damn bones that move if you even think about twitching a muscle anywhere in your arm. God, how it sucked.

I snapped my wrist/forearm IN HALF! hurts really bad when u try to lean on it. goes all limp and painful...

fractured wrist-13, shattered humorous-5

how humorous!

[obliterate]

Nope, been lucky so far. Even im surprised i havent, all those sports where i got my butt kicked or tossed around. Oh well.

Yup I have been lucky for 16 years myself

 

[ColonelDiscussion]

I'm agliophobic.

 

[Cavouku]

I broke my right arm twice, once when I was 4, again when I was 6. I also split my head open when I was 4, but the funny thing is, since I used to have a platelet count of... over 700'000, it healed up on its own. Actually, I don't know how that healed the bone, but it was fixed before the doctors could get at it.

 

[Takoto]

Yes, my little finger on my left hand.

 

[Skeleon]

Nope. Guess I'm... unbreakable.

 

[GrinningManiac]

Nope, but I've suffered immense stomach cramp over the years brought on by sudden, unexpected stress.

I've described the pain to many people, and the general consensus is that, yes, I have practically expereinced "breaking" my diaphram.

 

[irishstormtrooper]

Fortunately, no. The worst injury I sustained was when I fell into a rosebush. That was painful.

 

[Whiskyjakk]

Nose x2, Collarbone, Wrist, Fingers x2, Ankle

I had a clumsy stage during my teenage years. Luckily, I've also got a high pain tolerance and live in a country with free health care.

 

[FluffX]

Nope. Hell, I had to have surgery to remove some of my milk teeth 'cause the stubborn bastards wanted to stay in.

(That's what she said! Buuurn!!)

 

[crudus]

well I have a fractured rib atm. Does that count? otherwise I have had no broken bones.

 

[historybuff]

Nope. I drank a lot of milk as a child.

 

[Mozared]

Probably. Apperantly it's really easy to break your toe just by accidently hitting it against something - such fractures are barely ever registered though because they usually resolve themselves.

 

[Generator]

Yep, but only one. The doctors had to break my shoulder bone to get me out of my mom because I was such a manly, strong baby.

Every time I hear that story, I can't help but utter an, "Eeeeew..."

 

[WolfMage]

Does breaking boner count?
Cause it still hurt like hell.

That should count.

Oh good, me and my penis aren't the only ones.
Cause if it does count, then I've broken 7 bone(r)s.

 

[QuirkyTambourine]

I broke my femur snowboarding a few years ago...not a fun 2 months of prime snowboarding season.

 

[BakaSmurf]

The worst I've ever done is fracture my forearm dirtbiking, does that count?
