Your quirky body

[ethaninja]

Yeah I know, everyone is unique and has a special body blah blah blah, sometimes though I feel as though there are things about my body that are just plain weird. For example, my arms don't fully bend/extend at the elbow. where as a normal person can fully straighten out their arm, mine will always have a slight bend at the elbow - heck some people can bend it so far it straightens then bends again in the other direction. I've never heard of someone having this problem (and no, I've never broken my arms, or anything).

Another one is my clicking/popping jaws. I've had them since I was 16, and I remember a doctor telling me that there is no (worthwhile) fix to the problem, and that it is actually pretty common. Doesn't stop it from being annoying as all hell sometimes, even after all these years, I am not completely used to it... I wish it would just go away .

Those are just some of my weird quirks about my body, I guess if that's the worst I have to complain about, I shouldn't even bother considering there are parapalegics and quadrapalegics and palsied people who have to live with life changing differences in their bodies.

Still... I figure if I heard some other (minor) quirks with peoples bodies, I wouldn't feel so weird. So... uhhh.... tell me yours. Or don't, whatever.

I've had a clicking/popping jaw since long before, my elbows are diseased and so I can't bend them back either, so I've never been able to throw properly, or do pushups, my rib cages come out far further then that of your average person, my spine is bent to a degree where it inflames easily, and my ankles aren't properly aligned. Fun times aye?

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

Sometimes, I can bend my legs so that my kneecap makes a cracking sound. Like, I invert them and it just goes pop.

 

[Dark Knifer]

Sometimes I shake unwillingly like im high and my thumb bends 90 degrees.

 

[Motti]

My muscles tend to twitch randomly, especially when i'm lying in bed. They also pulse occasionally, which is a little weird.

 

[bombchu]

Ohoh. Gosh, have I got a list.

I've had half of my left lower jaw removed so there's a nice metal plate in there and a scar going from behind my ear to the front of my neck. If you run your fingers along my jawline you can feel the plate! It's bumpy and looks like a bicycle chain on the X-ray. I also found out from the X-ray that the doctors left some extra screws and staples in there from the surgery... but anyway~ because of this surgery I've lost the nerves that control the left half of my bottom lip... so it's numb and I can't move it. I also have two teeth implants for molars... 'cept I broke one by accident from jaw clenching >.> Gonna get that fixed sometime soon.

And then! I have two scars arching up on my lower back. They're symmetrical and have kinda spread out and stuff but they're super cool lookin'! Everyone thinks I have a tattoo 'til I explain it. It's numb in between them, though. Also, there's a small scar on my front left hip. All of these are from where they took bone marrow and put it in my jaw.

So, in conclusion, I'm a quirky cyborg!

 

[traceur_]

I have a heap of horizontal marks on my back that look like stretch marks (they're not, I checked) and I have no idea how or when I got them. Though that isn't surprising since I couldn't tell you what colour shirt I have on without looking down.

 

[Antiparticle]

I can close my left eye while keeping my right eye open, or close them both at the same time, but I can't close my right eye while keeping my left eye open. Yeah, I dunno how that works either.

i have that fucking jaw problem too. i went to a physio for a while to try and fix it, but it didnt help D:

i'm not technically allowed popcorn, caramels, or gum because it makes my jaw worse...
*cries*

This is just the same as me, My arms never fully extend to be straight and my jaw always clicks. I do accept the fact that it's pretty much my fault for the jaw thing though. Other then that, When I get nervous/exicted about something, my asthma acts up and my lungs will tighten. Causing me to cough excessively.

 

[TheColdHeart]

My jaw pops and cracks when I chew/yawn, I got it when kickboxing and took a kick to the mouth and ever since its popped. (It seems everyone here has a popping jaw!)

My elbows and knees bend backwards more than they should and my thumbs are double jointed.

I can wiggle my nostrills and can roll my tongue into a tube and 2 and 3 rolls.

And finally I have only 3 teeth at the front of my lower set instead of the usual 4, which always weirds out the dentist when they count along and can't find one yet my teeth are perfectly straight and look fine.

 

[Kenni-chan]

My knee twinges all the time, one of my elbows locks and I often injure tendons in my ankles

 

[Julianking93]

If I twist my ankles in circles, they'll just keep cracking, they never stop. Its pretty weird.

Every time I yawn, within 4 hours of waking up, there's a weird creeking noise that comes from the back of my throat.
Its really loud and kinda distracting.

 

[[Kira Must Die]]

My fingers bend backwards a bit when I straight them out. Also, I can bend my left pinky back so that it touches the back of my hand. I have weird fingers.

Hey me, get off the forum. But seriously, if its the same stuff I have on my back I think it probably IS a stretch mark, or something similar caused by your skin being man-handled (I have no idea how I got mine but I got a similar mark after attempting to turn sharply inside a car and having the seatbelt dig into my hip rather painfully).

 

[Godavari]

I can pop my knuckles in 28 places, my neck in 8, my elbows in 2, my toes in 8, my back in 6, and my ankles in 4.

Though I kind of consider that a skill.

 

[Sonicron]

At first I thought I was just superstitious, but now I'm certain: Whenever my tattoos start itching I know that something quite painful is going to happen to me later that day.

 

[electric_warrior]

my finger crack all the time, seize in position if I grip something too tight and bend far too far backwards. My knees bend the wrong way and crack when I kneel down, my kneck cracks when I keep it still for too long then mve it, my ankles crack without my even trying, my wrists crack so consistently I can get a beat going with them and the same goes for all my fingers. I'm actually hyper flexible and can get my legs over my head but I'll also get arthritis much quicker than most, my tendons are so loose in my finger I can make them move and you can see them under my skin moving about, also I can pull my fingers out of their sockets but I don't very often because its gross.
Oh, and my elbow locks in place and I need to force it into place with my other arm, when it goes back it cracks violently and hurts like hell. I can also wiggle my nose and my ears.
I'm a mess.

 

[Acier]

My feet roll when I walk so I a\have to concentrate to walk in a straight line, also my left ring toe is out of alignment so it rubs against my pinky toe ever so slightly. Not painful or anything, but if I'm not doing anything I'm aware of it and it's really annoying.


I also have a friend who can bend her fingers totally back, like touching the top of her wrist. I think she wins

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

EVERYTHING pops.
Doing push ups? Elbow pops.
Looking to the side? Neck pops.
Doing anything at all with my legs? Knees pop so much it sounds like they're creaking.

Aside from that, I dunno. There's probably something, but I'm far too tired to think of it.

 

[Discon]

Meh, nothing special, I guess.

I have a "chronic" ear infection (or swimmer's ear, not sure what to call it), that won't go away. It acts up whenever I'm sick, forget to dry my the inside of my ears or when it's windy and cold outside.

I can move my ears

I can make the joint between my foot and my leg click ALL.THE.TIME, and they usually also hurt when I run :S
