Have you ever broken a bone?

Question

I broke my wrist a couple of weeks ago. It is preventing me from doing a lot of things. I know it could be worse but it still sucks.

Yes. For the first 45 years of my life I had never broken a bone. Then over the course of a year I broke 5 toes on one foot and the fibula with an ankle dislocation that required a plate to be put in on the other leg. The first foot the said they didn't even want to repair. They said it would take too many pins and they think it would best to just let it heal naturally. But all the bones are angular which pushes on my big toe, destabilizing my foot and causing me to have a bunion. I don't want to make it sound worse than it is. I can walk on it in relative comfort (so long as I'm not barefoot). But I can't play basketball on it (something I dearly love). It's like having a piece of my heart amputated. It's still changing so they said they'll do something if it starts causing me noticeable pain. I look at it this way. I probably shouldn't be dunking a basketball at almost 50 anymore anyways. This might be saving me from greater injury.🤣 with my stubbornness I'd play at 80.

Broke my hand twice fighting when I was a young knucklehead. 5th metacarpal bone, a “boxer’s break.”

I was lucky to get an ulnar gutter cast that I could at least take on and off with it was itchy or I was showering. It was my good hand both times. That’s the hardest part, just learning to live lefty.

Rest it up, man, hope ya feel better soon

Had an accident 11 years ago. Broke my hip, got hospitalised but recovered soon as I was young.. but I remember feeling so scared when I couldn't get up, and I thought I'll never be able to walk again. I can walk, jog and dance but yeah, I try to be careful now as the older I get, the more it will take for me to heal. It sucks not being able to do what you want to do. Hope you heal soon.

Ankle bone and foot bone AND wrist. All after I was 40! Never had a broken bone before then.

Make sure you aren't suffering from osteoporosis. Luckily, I wasn't. But was overactive and clumsy. I'm more careful. Broken bones later in life means longer healing and sometimes arthritis.

sage2021 · Answer

Yes, my right wrist. Seems like I just answered this question the other day. You said that you broke your left wrist and that's the hand you write ✍🏼 with. 🤷🏼‍♀️

midnightmoon05 · Answer

Yes.
I broke my left tibia and ankle into pieces 2916. I have 12 screws and other metals in it. My surgeon told me I might need another surgery at some point.
I am doing well enough, but it can hurt sometimes.

I've broken a thumb punching someone in the face.

A finger oddly from doing finger pushups. I didn't even notice it was broken, but after 2 weeks it was still in a lot of pain and took about 8 weeks to heal. Just let it do its thing.

jazzy34 · Answer

Yes. Several times. I have a bone condition called osteogenesis imperfecta (aka brittle bone disease). Basically, a person with this condition is at risk of breaking bones easier than a person with “normal” bone density.

I was 9 in 1993 when I broke my femur on the trampoline.

I tripped over my sisters leg

It happened on Christmas Eve and I had a hipspiker cast that I had to wear for 6 weeks.

It's summer in December where I live so having a cast in the heat was not fun.

Hope your wrist hasn't been too painful and it heals up nicely.

eagleriverjohn · Answer

I have not that I know of. I've done stuff in the past where it could've happened, but it just never has. I always drank a lot of milk growing up, so maybe that helped 😆

Two bones in my wrist, dislocating one. My nose twice. Both big toes. One of my fingers, I don't remember which. Maybe other fingers, but I don't remember if I broke them.

zoeyby · Answer

Although you feel that the current situation is bad, from another perspective, perhaps this is a forced opportunity to rest and reflect. People always start to see things they usually ignore when they have to slow down but I hope you adjust your mentality to enjoy life we are enjoying life after all

None in my 72 years, though yesterday I fell while going to a store, scraped my right knee and was helped to my feet by two road construction crew dudes, who disinfected and bandaged my abrasion after I gingerly walked to a nearby bench.
