Have you ever had an injury that prevented you from playing the sport you love?

Whether it be a pogo sticking injury that sidelined you from playing basketball because of torn ankle ligaments (don't make fun of me) or any acts of sheer will that allowed you to play through the pain; say a broken elbow on your baseball throwing arm yet your persisted through the pain to play in the all-star league anyway?

What injuries have you sustained over the years and what were the circumstances of and after the injury?

I took a puck in the face last month.

Tore my ankle, broke some ribs, shattered my elbow, and a few minor ones.

 

[To Far Away Times]

Had a concussion playing hockey, there was a collision with a player who decided to stop instead of skating toward the goal, I went up in the air and landed on the back of my head. I blacked out, and that was the last hockey game I ever played.

I have a ton more respect for you now. Holy crap! Your poor body's taken some serious punishment! It's amazing you're still going strong considering that the fact that you've also been mugged in the past.

Some asshole almost broke my knee after I dribbled him in football practice at College.

That's when I found out we weren't covered by any kind of insurance (yeah, you had to call and pay for the ambulance yourself) and the school help on some payments for students that played for college was bullshit.

My metabolism is pretty shit, so practicing and playing there kept me fit. :/ My knee still hurts sometimes.

-Cracked my sternum.

I swear to Christ I read this as scrotum.

Torn groin - hockey.

Out for over a year and a half. Shit sucked.
