I've been lucky avoiding disasters. I will continue that trend and you guys get busted up for me.

Judging by a picture you've posted, i'm assuming dragging that ass around is ruining your back.

Truth. Turns out skate boarding is not good for your body.

The worse part will be my inability to drive for a month. WTF, doc?!?!!!

I went to a building once to meet a customer of mine for a job site walkthrough. He comes limping up to the meeting. I asked what happened and he said he had a hip replacement done 3 weeks earlier!! Surprised the crap out of me that he had so much mobility after only 3 weeks.

Good luck!

I'm just like a BMW. High performance, stylish, beautiful interior, but needs a lot of maintenance. My 2nd disc the doc nicked spinal sheath. WOW was it painful. 15 out of 10. Had to spend 30 days on my back. No standing or sitting unless absolutely necessary. Lucky it was during Olympics so I had 3 weeks of decent TV. Laying on floor with feet touching my 52".

2 back surgeries on L4/L5....there will be a 3rd at some point in the future (Fusion)

2 complete (Full Thickness) Rotator reconstructions on the right shoulder.

Every finger on the right hand has been broken

Left Ankle broken and dislocated, all ligaments torn that stabilize the ankle....

Torn hip flexor muscle....host of feet issues from YEARS of running and jumping...

Of all of my falling, bouncing off of concrete, wooden ramps, parking bumps, metal hand rails, dirt ramps, trees, having mtn bikes and dirt bikes pouncing on me after crashing, etc... i've been fortunate enough come away from that with just a hairline ankle fracture. Even more surprising that i grew up in a time where protective equipment wasn't worn. That in addition to my weight at the height i am, i always joke that my bones must be made of platinum. When i was 235 most people would guess that i was 175-180 pounds. lol

I refuse to get an MRI on my back. I'm not going to stop being active so i don't even want to know how fucked up it is.

Most significant injury came from tennis of all things... aside from the rolled ankles from divots on soft courts, i've got a torn labrum from rocket serves. For which i declined surgery, took some shots and did some PT to build up the supporting muscles. Been working so far. TRX is great for that. Works all of your core and intrinsic muscles without stressing any one group too much.

Been there, done that, and it's not the worst.

My list is:

• Complete cutting off index finger as a 5 year old cutting out Xmas tree in cardboard with a razor knife
• Broken femur right leg/collar bone skateboarding
• Broken tailbone connanballing of cliff into shallowish water
• Broken tibia/fubula, skiing
• 3rd degree burns (oil) right hand, 2nd degree on face (the most pain)
• Fractured c spine, led to fusion C3-5 with Ti plate
• Left bicep distal tendon separation - bicep snapped up to my shoulder

Plus a handful of broken fingers.

Spine thing there sounds exceptionally unpleasant...

Of all the injuries I had, tailbone was the most pain in the ass... Nothing could be done without excruciating discomfort... I hated even doing a number 2... Sleep was, pretty much not happening either...

Ughh... Bad memories...

It was painful for me too (added it after you already quoted me). Mine was cannonballing off of a 15' high rock outcropping into ~18" of water - that I didn't realize was that shallow. Knocked me out cold, and I was black & blue from my neck to my toes, with a fractured coccyx.

You guys didn't drink enough milk as a kid or something. lol

i think i'd agree with the tail bone pain. I've wheelied over on my bike twice and landed on my tail bone. Though i tend to not go to the Dr or hospital unless someone makes me, things don't work, or things get worse. But both of those spills were very painful, both resulted in limping home and sleeping on my stomach for a few weeks.

Though, while mtn biking on actual hills i took a fall that was pretty painful as well. I fell flat on my front side from about 20' onto the ground. My thigh landing on a tree root & i was pretty sure i broke my femur. (but did not) The flat impact actually broke the skin through two layers of clothes. Defiantly rivaled the tailbone falls in the pain department. My thigh was black and purple for 3 weeks, the back of the knee on that leg ( i assume from being hyper extended on impact) was just as black, purple with some nice greens too for about 6 weeks. A few people actually had a gag reflex just from looking at the bruising. lol

Oh - didn't even discuss cuts that require stitches!!!!

How's quality of life after fusion - understanding it's upper spine, not lower??

Broken neck. I am fine. Worst scare, about six months post surgery, is that I was clearly jonesing to get back to driving events. I shouldn't have been there , but decided to take it easy and just sign up for a school.

It turns out at my instructor noticed me not moving my head enough to watch where I was going and physically grabbed my helmet, and twisted my head, saying "no, look over here". Huge pain ensued and thought I reinjured. Lol.

It was clearly stupid for me to be out there, when still in PT.
