I think most people who frequent this forum, in addition to being fans of sports, also get out and play or attempt to play their favorite sports.

I'm currently undergoing a course of physical therapy for rotator cuff syndrome after a cortisone shot had no effect. While being tortured this morning, I was thinking about my various sports injuries.

High school soccer I tore cartilage in my left knee - arthroscopic surgery to remove 50% of the medial meniscus.

Grade III ankle sprain playing ice hockey - 10 weeks in a walking boot.

Tore the medial meniscus in my right knee. The MRI showed a torn ACL that had never been diagnosed or treated/ repaired - First microfracture surgery, with medial meniscotomy.

Reinjured same knee playing ice hockey - more torn meniscus, the MRI found a loose body floating in the knee, bone spurs, and chondromalcia - stuff that should have been taken care of in the first surgery. Had a second microfracture procedure, synovectomy, chondroplasty, and meniscotomy.

What are your visible signs or reminders of being a weekend warrior?
 
4 (diagnosed) concussions

1 torn ACL, MCL, medial and lateral meniscus in my knee while playing basketball.

65 total stiches in my face, all from hockey, lacrosse, or mountain biking

I think that's it.
 
Sports injuries, huh?

Um...I used to scrape up my hands and knees when I would fall off my bike as a child. That's about all I got. I've never really been injured playing any kind of sport.
 
Nothing ever that serious. I'm carrying an ankle sprain just now from a game of basketball last weekend which is slowly approaching normality.
 
I wrecked both my knees playing baseball and football in high school. Also broke my nose twice in football.
 
Blew out my left ankle playing pickup basketball in college. It's visibly deformed to this day. Took a lot of down time and therapy to get over that.

Not a sports injury per se, but I had two operations recently to correct a bunion in my right foot that was preventing me from being active.

Currently have a mild MCL sprain in my right knee when I jammed it hiking a couple weeks back.
 
Sprained both ankles, and have pretty bad knees.
Shattered my right ankle playing soccer in high school.
Torn Labrum and Rotator Cuff Tendonitis in right shoulder, mostly from softball. Had shoulder surgery in Jan 2009, and it's slowly getting better, i guess.
 
A cracked rib and a cracked nose are the most illustrious. And while not really injuries per se, but I collected a whole lot of bruises and contusions over the years from practicing jujutsu. All in all, I was quite lucky.

And my right knee is not working very well anymore, but I'm not sure if it's from the practice or just plain old age. :lol:
 
Broke my left leg the first time I went skiing (age 7).

Broke my left wrist skiing when I was 40.

Broke my right elbow when I took a header down a bluff while hiking (less than a year after breaking my right foot in a non-sports injury). It was after that one (3rd break in less than 3 years) that my doctor decided to test my bone density. The test came back fine, so he diagnosed me as a klutz.

Had my nose broken (two weeks before prom) in softball practice trying to field a one-hopper that took a weird bounce. Ended up with two black eyes as well.

Tore the ligament in my right arm in softball a few years ago. Oddly enough, it was during what turned out to be a very unconventional slide. It never did heal right and still gives me trouble from time to time.
 
Not really been injured. I have been knocked unconscious for a few seconds, one in like under-11s soccer and the second time in under-16s rugby union.

I did get a bad blister from an ill fitting footy boot that got infected at the side of my foot just below my big toe. Could hardly walk on that leg for two or three days.

Oh, I did break a collarbone...it wasn't mine. I enjoy telling that story.

Not really a sport injury but after swimming training I was running around the pool, slipped and cracked my chin open when I was 7 or 8. That learnt me a lesson.
 
Years ago: Heat exhaustion from running when it was 101 degrees and humid. And altitude sickness climbing in the Rockies.

Recently: Not exactly sports, but... A strained neck from bellydancing. Yes, I did say neck, not hip. LOL
 
Most of my injuries have been from a fall off an icy step, a car crash, and a hit-and-run

But I did break my left wrist at taekwondo in January. Naturally I didn't realise this at the time (It was one of those little bones on the inside) and kept fighting on it and doing some pad holding for the rest of the evening...

Apart from that, the odd sword-cut, sprain, and busted thumb
 
Broken Collar Bone (which cost me a trial with Aston Villa). It has now been a reoccuring injury from time to time.

Ripped Groin Muscle

Broken Fingers (index on left, and small wan on right)

Fractured wrist

^ All from playing football

Someone also mistook my nose for a golf ball and smashed my nose into 36 different pieces with a 9 Iron Golf Club
 
I pulled a hamstring playing baseball in grade 7.


Hurt like HELL.

I also took a tennis ball to my right side via a slap shot by my dad during street hockey.
 
Torn meniscus playing squash, later tore the ACL snowboarding. Had operation to replace ligament and remove all the meniscus.
 
I cracked and bruised my tail bone snowboarding when I was 17. Couldn't sit down for about three days. Couldn't drive for a week. It sucked.

Lots of scrapes, bruises and stitches over the years doing things like riding my mountain bike or rock climbing.

I've had other injuries but they were not sports-related.
 
Off the top of my head I've broken my hand when an opponent decided to grab it and headbutt it - which was a bitch as I was scheduled to fight two days later...

...I've had a few concussions and broken ribs which I've had to work through - the latter being the hardest part - and separated my shoulder whilst training and then had to go on to fight for an hour later that night :( I did some damage to my knees playing rugby in high school and college which then got worse, turned to arthritis and now years later with further pressure from wrestling, training and being on my feet 60+ hours a week for a while - needs surgery to repair them which I'm putting off as long as possible.

The worst was my neck injury. It wasn't too bad, just compressed discs - the injury happened around Christmas time a few years back and I kept working through it, not knowing what the prolem was, until about March, only going to the doctor when I wasn't able to get out of bed in the morning in less than three hours.

I'm sure I've had a few more, I can't remember exactly how I broke my wrist ut that was a bit irritating.
