Did you ever break a bone?? When and how?

when I was about 27, I was locked out of the house and (at home by myself), so I tried to climb through the front bedroom window. I remember at the time, the window's latch was broken, so it wouldn't stay open on its own. As I was climbed through the window, I tried to balance myself on its sill and keep the window open with one hand. I managed to stretch my legs out towards the floor in my room, but I lost balance on the sill and came crashing down on my left foot too hard and pushed my foot the wrong way. From this incidence, I broke my tibular and fibular bones in my ankle and my foot spun around backwards. (I feel sick as I write this!) Somehow I managed to slide myself across the carpet from my room and into the kitchen to get the mobile/cell phone. I rang an ambulance to pick me up and take me to hospital. When I was at hospital, I had to go under an operation and have plates and screws put in my ankle. After about 6 weeks I had the plaster taken off and I virtually had to learn how to walk again by joining an ankle group at the hospital. I also had visit a physio to help get my ankle moving again. For about 8 months after my first break, I still wasn't walking very well. Then oneday, I was at church and this lady asked me to light a candle up the front (alter) of the church. So I got up from the pew I was sitting on, limped towards the front alter and climbed a few small steps to light the candel. After lighting the candel, I remember feeling embarrased about being in front of a whole church concregation, so I tried to quickly climb down the steps and make my way back towards my seat, but disaster happened. As I went back down the stairs, I missed a step or two and slipped, landing on my right ankle. An ambulance was called for me again, and I was layed out on a stretcher in front of the whole church and wheeled down the isle!! Now that was even more embarrasing!! When I arrived at the hospital and had x-rays, I found I had a very fine fracture... atleast I didn't have to have another operation this time but sometimes I have more pain (even now) with it than the ankle that was operated on.

At 22 I shattered my right kneecap when I had a twist and fall in the snow. At 24, I broke two bones in the top of my foot when I slipped and dropped my sleeper sofa on it.

i broke 2 fingers and my foot i got beat up when my fingers were broken the other girl liked to pick on me so she would beat me up often so i ended up with 2 broken fingers......... and my foot i jumped over a bannerster and landed wrong on my foot bad idea......................

no,i haven't yet.i was a good child,i wasn't allowed to play with too much children,i didn't have enough courage to climb trees or so.so i hadn't the occasion to break any bone as a child and now as an adult i hadn't got too many falls.hope i won't break ever any bone

i broke my left arm too!when i was 4.I fell from my bike after my sister pushed me from my bike.I got a cast for 1 month too and when I got to the hospital,I ran away from the doctor and hid in the operation room.

I broke my jaw when I was nine. it wasn't the pain. it was the humiliation thatscrewed me up. I had to go to a new school with two broken front teeth and my jaw wired together and a great big new scar on my chin. I did it sledding.

only once. i was about 24, just started dating my hubby and it was summer (thankfully)...i was running down the stairs to open the door for my hubby and missed the last three steps...i broke a small bone in my left foot...my mom took me to the hospital the next morning and i ended up on crutches and after 4 weeks, i tripped and rebroke it!!! sometimes it still hurts when its going to rain or whatever....how bout your arm?
