Have you ever broken a bone?

I broke my chest (sternum) in a horrible car accident a few years back and I've broken a few toes through sheer clumsiness. I broke my collar bone when I was a child too which was very sore. They're so slow to mend; I hope my broken bone days are behind me.

A toe whilst sleep walking, and three ribs. Strangely I think the toe was the more inconvenient of the two injuries - it's amazing how one toe can throw out your balance completely!

It sure can :(

I broke the same little toe(left one) twice with a 20 year
Gap!
I have a wide foot swing, so as I walked it was broken by hitting stuff, that was in the way.

I haven't broken a bone - thank goodness. But, I once fractured one of my big toes. I remember the day like it was yesterday. I was indoors playing with a ball and, uncoordinated as I am, missed the ball and kicked the floor instead. I thought that was pretty painful until the doctor that examined me insisted on wiggling my fractured toe at which point I really wanted to kick him!

I had not broken any bones till I was about 60 and had an accident.
I think I was very lucky not to have done so!

Well I have broken my ankle, and my wrist in both bones. Have had a crushed skull above the eye socket. Broke my little toes. And I think that is about it. Most of them related to sporting accidents.

I was in a car accident at 16 and broke my right arm. I am right handed. It was a bad break and had to be pinned. I was in hospital for a week. It was during my final year of high school so it was inconvenient not being able to write while it healed. I recall a lady of about 70 making the comment, 'It will never be the same again.' At the time I thought it was a negative comment to make but she was quite right.

I have a messed up pinky, the one on my right hand - I had xrays when I first did it but nothing came up - that was years ago and it still hurts when I move it and doesn't sit right which makes me think it has been broken.

Toes. Once once cement, once on the sofa and a couple at a concert where an idiot stepped on my foot.

I broke my R wrist when I fell down some steps whilst going upstairs to get a drink one night. Should have put the light on !!!

I've only fractured 2 left ribs, when my right foot caught in the cuff of my black slacks as I tumbled down the last 3 steps of an out door staircase, 40 years ago. I'm lucky nothing else else happened to me at the time or our youngest daughter, who I was carrying down the steps. Thank heavens I had my arms around her, so she didn't land on the stone pavers.

Yes - and neither were my fault! Left arm when I was pushed off the monkey bars in primary school. And my right arm when I was the backseat passenger in a car accident when I was a child. For years & years they 'ached' in certain weather, but that thankfully seems to have passed now.
