Compression fracture of back in military but no bones. Three days at Womack Army Hospital at Ft. Bragg for the back and then back to training.

7 fractured ribs - all at the same time. But that is it. 100s of stitches however.

Left arm, specifically wrist and elbow 3 times. I need to stop falling or at least put my right arm out for a change.
Tailbone once and its been to date the worst pain I have ever felt!
3 or 4 ribs, that wasn't too bad though.

No breaks for me....except my heart.

Broken my left leg in five places many years ago. That was about it.

Just turned 38 yesterday and as of yet, I have not broken a bone (knock on wood). I'll admit that I haven't had the most exciting life and haven't put myself in a position to get hurt badly. Kevbo, I have no doubt you're an outlier based on how many bones you've broken. We need to encase you in bubble wrap.

Hahaha!

Apparently

The funny thing is It didnt even occur to me that it wasn’t normal when I was a kid....I’d just keep doing what I was doing, now with a cast


Maybe that was part of a problem

I did like to jump off really high things when I was a kid...that’s where 3 of the broken arms come from...3 playing football....and one wrestling.

pinkey finger as a kid, and two ribs as a cop fighting a PCP hyped up mexican

Had my first broken bones a year and a half ago at age 57. You don’t heal quickly at that age!

Vitamin K2 directs calcium to form stronger bones.

Never broken a bone, but I have other permanent injuries to balance it out.

Never broken a bone.

Shattered my right heel bone.

Lets see, from various motorcycle/vehicle accidents, work, play, etc.- shattered kneecap (removed), left wrist, fractured skull, nose, jaw, cheekbone, 1 thumb, 4 fingers, two toes, 2 ribs....I think that's it.

Ha! You beat Shugart's best effort.

I had an Achilles tendon rupture in 2012. Discussing the diagnosis with me, the doctor said, "Oh yeah, your big toe has been broken and healed." I absolutely cannot remember how this could have happened.

Never broke a bone but disco'd a hip in High School in the seventies.

The tibula is the weirdest bone in the body, did you know that? If you broke it, you would have the tibia and the fibula.

You're totally correct. Broke both getting hit by a car and then re broke both by not waiting long enough to go snow skiing.

At least the second time they didn’t come through the skin which caused me to need a nasty external fixiater and also lost my basketball scholarship.

I have never broken a bone. Well, not one of mine, anyway. When I was around 3rd grade I was wrestling with a friend on the playground at Jane Peabody Elementary and accidently broke his arm. His parents were pissed.

Didn't break one until I had a bicycling accident just before my 40th birthday. A compound fracture about 6 inches above the ankle. The bone was too splintered for a rod so the doc put a plate across the break and secured it with 6 or 7 screws. Had the plate removed 5 years later due to constant pain. Thankfully, I haven't broken any thing else since then. I'm 55 now.
