In preparation to relocate from Penn State to Vermont, I'd gone up on the roof of a home I'd rented using the only step ladder I'd had which was a tad too short. I happened to be bare foot at the time for better traction I was up there to remove a chimney-mtd CB antenna. Got the antenna dropped and was about to try to leverage myself over the roof's edge to get my one foot back upon the stepladder and my cowardice of high unstable places kicked in.

No one was around to stabilize or guide my foot down and the ladder was resting upon a small concrete patio pad. I could scrooch over about ten ft past that pad and I remembered the training for paratroopers to place one's knees and ankles together with knees bent to absorb the impact of dropping. The distance was only about 9 ft. onto a grassy lawn. Well, it was 'do-or-die' time for a Libra! We hate committal decisions that are irreversible! But I made the commitment and landed like I was supposed to and did a textbook progressive crumple but it wasn't enough without jump boots.
I hit the lawn and literally both heard and felt the ringing in my ears! The pain was such that it exceeded my perception as if the imaginary needle of a meter had gone clean off the dial! This lasted about 30 sec. and THEN the needle moved downward ONTO the dial! My left calve took the bulk of the damage. Doctors said I'd compacted BOTH ankles but actually gotten a 'barber pole break' on my left calf. Was driving a manual sportscar at the time and Missus didn't drive a stick. Went up to Vermont in my Fiat X-19 driving the clutch using my left leg in a cast! Irony was, my first VT. employment was as a Killington Ski Resort Reservationist with a broken leg, BEFORE the first snow on the mountain!

Well I broke my ankle on a trampoline
Broke my pinky a few times and also broke my pinky toe a few times

It's not that I don't do anything that could hurt me because that would be a lie
I have been struck by cars with the worst thing being that my foot got ran over however I guess my foot is squishy or something because I didn't break anything and just felt soar for a couple weeks

I also used to play baseball baseball and soccer and while I have gotten scrapes and bruises I never broke anything doing it

I also never broke my nose but that's probably because my cartilage in my nose is actually in multiple peices that can be pushed around and form back into place

So I have only broke one bone in my life so far that i know of. Two years ago I dont know how or when but my ankle got swollen and felt stiff for the whole day and we were moving. By the end of it I asked my brother to pull on it and he did which relieved some pressure. For the next two weeks it was super swollen and I couldn't bear weight on it. It didn't stop me from running or walking apparently. Later we go into the ER and they examine it, full mobility and everything, so they thought nothing was wrong. My mom asked if I could have an xray done to be sure and turned out I had fractured the tibia.

Later the next year we were camping, i complained about some pain and we get another xray, it was either not healed all the way or I rebroke it. But now it should be good lol.

Thought I'd share that , cause I still haven't found out how I broke it

I had a broken arm/elbow in kindergarten which I don’t remember much, and as far as other similar injuries.. I fractured the same elbow a couple years ago and it “locks” and cracks every day and sometimes it’s really painful. I’ve sprained both of my ankles too many times to count in my life, and I’ve dislocated my left kneecap 5 times

I broke my right ankle in '18 at a TLC concert lol. It really sucks b/c I have 9 screws and a metal plate in there and I can predict the weather! I thought my sciatica was bad but no, the day before a snow/thunderstorm, I can feel it. And when I was a kid, I used to think the old people were nuts saying they knew it was gna snow or rain..

Yes. I seem to “break” sort of symmetrically, though sometimes at different times. Left pinky finger, left index finger, right pinky, left pinky… both legs in casts, around the same time… in high school I had one leg in a cast, three days later, broke the other leg and that was in a cast. I shattered (Drs words) a bunch of bones in the left foot, sprained the same bones in the right at the same time (I still have pain from that and that was over a decade ago). Broke my left toe multiple times (though my dad did that to me once or twice). Broke my left arm, sprained right. I’m certain I sprained the pinky and toe next to it about a month later (because it was exposed due to the cast from the shattered bones) and I “stubbed them” because it was dark. Did the same on the other foot a few months later.

Not till last year. In fact when the doctor told me I thought he needed to look at the X-rays because I don't break bones. I think my good fortune led me to develop a invincibility complex. I have a tendency to think mentally I can will myself pass anything. The doctor informed me not only did I have a break but I had a previous break a year older that I didn't even know I had. I mean my foot was sore but I could still walk on it.

My big toe, a couple fingers punching people. Cracked my hip while crashing a mountain bike downhill at 40 mph, cracked my face next to my nose in a drunk bicycle crash. Cracked my left and right eye sockets. One when my drunk brother blindsided me in the eye, and the other when fighting 2 300 pound cholos on Thanksgiving night after working 12 hours in a kitchen.

I've been very lucky... never broke anything. I have strained muscles and pulled ligaments bad... my finger playing basketball, rolled my ankle playing volleyball... and have had lots of cuts and bruises, but no breaks.

beebella · Answer

I've bruised a few bones (a couple fingers, a couple toes), but I've never fully broken any bones.

douride2 · Answer

I think the list might be shorter if I said which bones I haven't broken. Its not quite that bad but the short list of broken bones includes legs hip arms fingers spine and a fractured skull is all I can think of at the moment.

TrueConfection · Answer

A few bones. All are healed. The last one was in my foot. I rolled my ankle on a small rock and the tendon won the war by breaking the bone.

Pretty sure I broke my nose when I went through someone’s car windshield when they ran over me.

Also broken a few fingers and most of my toes if not all. Both big toes broken. Believe it or not breaking the pinky toe is waaaay more painful.
