I have a feeling this will be a male dominated thread (Ladies, feel free to prove me wrong) but after a conversation with one of my closest mates and old training partners about his latest injury, I was struck with the idea for this thread....

So, include pics if you like, but at the very least we're going to need details - gory details...

My mate called me to tell me about an injury sustained at the gym last night. We used to train together and we used to lift some pretty insane weights - he's one of the strongest guys pound-for-pound I've ever met... So, the story goes;

He was training chest, and had the bar loaded for a second set with about 240kg. Training at that sort of weight, we would really only aim for an assisted lift out of the rack, 2 clean lifts and a third with assistance if needed - so, 4 reps. He said that on the negative of the third lift he felt a sharp pain in his pec, heard a 'snap' - likening it to the sound of twine breaking!!!! - and a complete lack of strength.... Luckily his spotters were onto it and they racked the weights...

Anyway, as a man of few words (and apparently the pain threshold of a Tiger Shark!!!) he got up and said that his left pec muscle had bunched up in the middle of his chest and was twitching uncontrollably.... By this time I could work out what he'd done!!!! OOOOOOOUCCHHHH!!!!!! The doctor told him that it was an obvious tear, but that given the lack of 'excruciating pain' it was probably only minor and would probably heal on its own... They X-Rayed it, just in case...

My mate receives a phone call from the Doctor the next morning - A complete Rupture!!!! WTF?! He goes in for micro-surgery to re-attach everything in the morning!

I'm not sure if anyone can relate to that injury, but coming from someone who has experienced a minor pectoral tear, I can tell you that it FCUKING HURTS.... My whole bicep, pec and shoulder muscles were purple with bruising within days and the remedial training was long and tedious in order to repair the injury in my case. To listen to him describe the injury to me made my skin crawl

Being a bit of a boof-head kid from the country, I've got plenty of these stories - naturally, but that's the story that inspired this thread, so enough from me...

Over to you lot!

I was a meat cutter (butcher) for about 14 years. In Christmas 2000 I was working on a band saw, cutting a sirloin tip into slices. The band saw is an industrial meat cutting saw with a smooth bladed saw blade spinning about about 2000/3000 rpm..now this is about 10 years into my training here so I was very experianced and what I did. In a milisecond I felt my my hand hit the blade when pushing the primal through..just a BUMP...the On and Off swithes are knee high and you just pop you knee against the STOP button which I did. BAM off....I looked down, knowing full well what to expect and I see my right index finger filleted open...straight down the middle, right through my finger nail, not across like cutting the tip off but down the center and like a split a hot dog....oh it gets worse,,,

I have always had a serious sensitivity to cutting my finger tips and 99 times out of 100 get faint or FAINT...this was no exception...I immediately knew what to expect, spun 180 deg to head to the sink and like a Loonytunes cartoon "thats all folks" just saw the light close in like a closing a camera lens and BAM...

I regained conscienceness 45 min later ad was told that I just dropped straight onto my face on the tile market floor and busted the feck out of my right eyebrow....cut my eyebrow, required 11 stitches and had a shiner like Ali punched me....also chipped a tooth AND had a fillet'd index finger...

Luckily the fillet cut had no nerve damage and healed great but it took 6 weeks for the fecking black eye to go away....

It hurt worse than the fillet....needless to say it was a trip and scared the PISS out of my co-workers..woke up with the EMS guys having me hooked up to an IV and all that shit...embarassing

Dude!!! haha.... Please don't judge me for this - but I'm laughing at your pain.... :S

I'm sorry.... :p

I was an industrial butcher/slaughterman for a number of years when I was younger also. We did a service kill for Heinz - they used 'Bull' as the tougher meat gave a better consistency in their baby food.

Bull hind-hide is as thick as a new rubber thong/flip-flop and 10 times as tough, and with the stimulator doing SFA to quell the these massive beasts nerves, I was nearly being kicked off my workstand while trying to skin the animal.... Even dead, these things had enough power to throw me around like a rag-doll, and with razor sharp skinning knives in my hands I was pretty pissed about the whole situation.

On about the tenth beast of the shift I got booted against the wall and proceeded to LOSE MY SHI7 before kicking the f@cker back! I connected directly on the femur (the part with no flesh - just hide, then bone) and broke my foot!!!! The production chain was stopped and I was helped off my work stand - swelling set in so quickly that my rubber boots had to be cut off.... lol

:picard:

If the culture over there is similar to that of the Autralian meat processing culture, I can definitely relate to the ribbing you surely would have received over your little ordeal.... Still, we had so much fun back in the day.... :)

When I was 14 in 2002 I was playing with gun powder and it blew up in my face, burning my entire face, one hand, and eyes. I took a helicopter to a hospital in STL where i spent 10 days. after eye surgery to remove the burned parts of what remained of my corneas i was sent home where 2 times a day I had the burned parts of my skin scrubbed for another week or two. I have a pictures at my parent house ill have to find and upload.


Another time when i was a freshman in college i was visiting my parents for mother’s day and i was bitten by a copperhead the weekend before finals. I went to pick up something on my parents stoup and a snake jumped out from behind a bench and bit me. The bite its self was painless. if i was hiking and was bitten i don’t think i would have even noticed. But i had to drive 24 miles to a hospital that could treat me. in the meantime my hand and arm swelled up and my bones hurt so bad. it was horrible. once at the hospital i was pumped full of anti-venom for 2.5 days. And was good to go.

The worst part is that the hospital bill was $195,000 and i just sat in the bed studying for finals and watching tv.

I'm going to move this into the bin right now with mine.

Warning, this is very personal and may make you wince if your a dude.

Back in my heyday of sowing seeds everywhere........

Once again graphic!

Myself and girl were engaged in a position named after our 4 legged friends. She was double clicking her mouse during the festivities. During some powerful thrusting I pulled out a little to far and on the subsequent in move missed and perfectly lined up my pee hole with her exceptionally sharp fingernail.

It was an all out blood bath for obvious reasons.

As a bonus it now takes me almost no time to take a piss. ;)

Whilst not the most painful, coming off my road bike face first into gravel takes the cake for my grossest. The plastic surgeon had his work cut out for him putting this back together!

Double clicking can be so dangerous...

I'll leave it out of the bin for now since he didn't post pictures of aforementioned pecker.

I've never been a patient in the ER myself, but years ago, the Renaissance Festival was in town and I had to repair the scrotum of a jouster damaged by the weapon of his opponent.

He promised me free tickets to the festival, but apparently forgot. You'd have thought that he would be wearing a constant reminder of that promise.

I've done this twice!

Black and blue. Even though there is no bone in a boner the doc called it a fractured penis.

I was holidaying in Ibiza with a group of eight friends. I was 22 at the time.

On the fateful night three of us were walking back to our apartment. My best friend was a few paces in front and was suddenly attacked (unprovoked) by a six-strong mob. The guy I was walking with did a runner.

What to do? Fcuk it....you can't leave a mate to take a beating. So I waded in. :facepalm:

And that is the last I remember. Lights out!

I was found unconsious some time later in a ditch with a badly split head and an obvious broken finger.

It is important to point out, at this satge, that I'd had a LOT to drink. When I got back to the apartment the looks on my friends faces will stay with me forever. You could see no skin on my face, only blood. My left index finger was bent at a right angle at the first knuckle.

So I went to the hospital right? No, I went to bed and woke the next morning in blood soaked sheets and in some serious pain.

A kind waiter took me to the doctors surgery on the back of his motorbike. The doc, who spoke very little English, ushered me in. Firstly he stitched my head (I was told by an eyewitness that I'd been hit with a large brick) and then, without anaesthetic, he proceeded to put my finger back into place. The pain was unbearable but little did I know......the worst was yet to come!

In broken English he told me not to look.......so I looked.

I remember him holding a long steel implement under my nail. Tug, tug, pull, pull.....and then he ripped it out! Clean out of it's bed. I squeeled like a pig.

I left with antibiotics, an x-ray, and some friendly advice......don't drink too much and stay out of fights. Twat!!!
