Broke the middle finger on my left hand during football practice.......as I was leaving, when I had my hand up waving goodbye to my coach and someone launched a football at me while i had my back turned, which slammed right into my finger.

Going to work one morning I was going down the stairs to the entrance of the building from my flat, I just missed the the last step and took what was essentially a 2 step-jump to the end of the stairs. I jarred myself a bit on landing and thought nothing of it. Turns out I somehow popped my shoulder doing that.

Ah, I did something similar once in High School. Went to catch a softball someone threw to me, not a hard through, just a gentle one so I could put it away, and managed to get it awkwardly and dislocate my thumb. Hurt like a mother, but the teacher did the whole "Look over there for me!" thing, and when I looked he popped it back into place!

-My "4-inch vertical jump" attempting a lay-up on an outdoor basketball court in February (the temp was about 60 - very abnormal) and coming down wrong on a curb. I knew I wasn't 100%, but I still played another 2 hours, gutting my way through it at the end. Finally I had to sit out, then my brother played a game, and drove me home. My ankle had swollen to twice its size; doctor said I seriously sprained the interior & "outerior" (that even a word?) ligaments. Missed 6 days of work, paid a total of $900 (I had no insurance then, I didn't work enough hours a week) and hobbled around on crutches around my house...and to pick up my check. Can only imagine the damage had I jumped a little higher. I once applied some "After shaving lotion" to my freshly shaved balls and it was the worst pain I have ever felt. The damn bottle said it would help soothe the skin not not make my sack feel like I just dragged it across the sun! Sorry to laugh, but that's quite a metaphorical picture you painted right there.

Also, once I was playing a gig outside in December and with the cold I tore the skin off of my thumb as I played guitar and there was blood all over my guitar. It was pretty cool.

When I was 12, I use to walk up and down the stairs in my house backwards. One time The last time I did this, I got distracted and fell halfway down the stairs backward. I hurt my ankle and I walked around house house with a fishing pole for two weeks.
One time I popped my neck lifting my head off the pillow. My neck hurt like the dickens and I had to hold my head to the side like Gobbles to ease my pain. My heavy handed mom tried to fix my situation by grinding muscle rub on my neck. That made ish worse. I had to take left over pain meds from my orthopedic surgery, so I could move.
I accidentally got muscle rub on my chick biz.
I strained the right side of my throat coughing. This hurt and confused me so much I cried.

When I was really little I rode my tricycle off our porch (the porch was quite elevated and there were a bunch of steps you had to walk down to get to the driveway)

I once had some itchy, dry skin on my ear. I was scratching at it for days. The skin started to flake, so one day I just tried to peel it off. I accidentally pulled off a centimetre long and a few millimetre wide piece off my ear, which never grew back.

Dove into the pool at my parents' house, tried to swim to the bottom of the deep end (8' or so) and I got a sensation liky my eardrums were meeting in the middle. I couldn't walk straight when I got out, so I got hauled to the ER.
The water pressure had messed with my inner ear and both ears were pretty waterclogged.
-at a house show in Saginaw I stepped wrong off a curb and sprained the hell out of my ankle. This was before the show, so I got a ride to the ER(a few blocks away) to get it x-rayed and taped.
Still made it to the show, and when I went to work on Monday on crutches, I told a couple of people that a wrestler injured me at the event. Some actually believed me!

1. When I was 8 years old, and at the baby-sitter's house, I fell off the swingset and sprained my wrist and had a scrape right above my eye. 2. In middle school I got tripped by someone as they were tryimg to skip over every other stair, and landed right on my elbow. I cried as the nurse was calling my dad, telling him she thought I broke my arm. (I didn't), but 13 years later, I still get pain in it when it rains out. 3. In elementary school, 2 boys were fighting during recess, and they bumped into me, with my face hitting a metal pole.

I helped my friend's mom move an upright piano she'd bought at a thrift store into their home. My friend called some buddies, rented a U-haul, and brought it over. One problem- the U-haul truck had no ramp. So my friend had the bright idea to use drywall. Guess how that worked? It went half-way down before it went straight through and neither my friend nor his doofus friends made an effort to catch the thing except for me. I caught it- with my knee. Amazingly, I didn't blow it out, but I do have a permanent bruise across my right thigh.

I've dislocated my pinky toe on my right foot three times. The first time was before New Year's dinner. I jumped over a pile of laundry in the laundry room and landed with my foot against the doorframe. As I walked in pain to the nearby room, I couldn't figure out why I was off-balance. I sat on the bed, took off my sock, and saw that my toe was now perpendicular to the rest of my foot (downwards). I had to have it put back in place at the hospital. Happy New Year! The second time was when the phone was ringing in the other room and I sprinted up to get it since no one else was moving to do it. My dad had left newspapers in front of his chair and I slid on them, ultimately spiking my foot into the ground. Out came the pinky toe...and a hospital visit later, my toe was back in. The last time was the least impressive. I was washing dishes and turned around, only to crank my toe again, this time into the nearby dishwasher. At this point, it was pretty much a mixture of - 'really, again?' and 'sigh, time to go back to the hospital'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Of course, the most painful experience I've had involved dislocating my kneecap in French class. Long story. Pictures in spoilers - warning, gross. {Spoiler}

When I was sixteen, I was opening a window in my parents house and it stuck 1/4 of the way open. I smacked the underside of the window frame to unstick it and the window shattered. I got four deep cuts on my right hand, the worst of which was on the wrist and literally gushed blood. Thirty years later I still have the scars.
In my late twenties, I was walking a friend's dog. The dog saw a squirrel and ran to the fight and pulled me sideways. My ankle went "crack". I managed to limp home but by the next morning I couldn't put any weight on it at all. Went to the ER and they said it was just a sprain. That thing ached constantly for over a year and intermittently for about ten years after that.

not me but my brother broke his foot by basically walking down the stairs once. I mean sure he jumped a bit on the last one... but at most it was like half a foot drop

Oh geez, where do I begin?
When I was like six years old I was trying to find something and figured it must be under the couch by the window. Me being six there was no way I could move that thing with my arms so I figured I'd sit with my back to the window and push it with my legs. BAD IDEA! Went through the window and fell a couple feet down onto concrete and broken glass. Wasn't wearing a shirt either. Needed stitches in the end. Ouch.
Was sitting in the passenger seat of a van driving through some bushland when we went over some bumps and dips, turns out my seatbelt wasn't bolted to the seat and bounced up and down like three or four times, slamming my head into the roof each time.
Jumped into a river and when I surfaced had a really painful sensation in my ear. When I got it looked at it turns out water had somehow gotten behind my ear-drum. Was such a weird feeling.
Pulled a muscle in my arm doing private things :3

With my bite of clumsiness. This happened about three weeks ago. I work in mens clothing. Anyway we have these things too add extra arms to a normal 4 way. To double them for like shorts. Anyway as I was doing that. I stood up and smack my head on the upper arm. It hurt for a second. I check for blood nothing so I kept going.
Just a moment later. My best friend walks by who I work with look at me and she start almost freaking out. Saying your head looks really bad. She walks off I was like what? Next thing I no she comes back out from the break room. My manager comes in for the day looks and just ask what did I do. I tell her and she laughs. Another manager calls me back there and MAKES me sit down and put Ice on it. I had a bump and a scratch on there. My boss was like he was laughing and not bleeding so I thought he was ok.
Anyway I comeback out. Of course my friend calls me up to the register and gives me the business. Saying stuff like you looked like you had a nipple on your head.
