Never broken a bone! Sprained my ankle once...but not a broken bone!

Does wisdom teeth extraction count as surgery? I had full anesthesia...

Broke wrist jumping a ramp rollerblading, and a tuna ripped a finger off of my hand that later got reatatched.

I haven't broken a bone yet, could be due to the fact that I'm just generally big (big boned). My legs are pretty thick so I don't think I should have to worry about having any broken bones just yet (rugby?)

Broke my left wrist in middle school, but and in a semi-funny way imo.

I had signed up for a wrestling elective, and the coach would pair us up randomly each day. I was a pretty wimpy sixth grader at the time, and one day got paired up with an 8th grade football player. He was at least a foot taller and probably twice my weight. I was in the defensive starting position and he was in the offensive position. As soon as the coach blew the whistle, the football player just put all his weight on me, and my wrist pretty much just gave out. I can still remember the popping sound...

Snapped left clavicle playing Football... clean break too. Minor surgery on right shoulder .. removed a non-cancerous Lipoma.

Broke a left rib playing with my daughter when she was 8 .. ruff housing and she flipped over. Her heal hit really hard on my chest.

Broke my left big toe after dropping a sheet of particle board .. came down on my toe like a karate chop.

I've broken lots of bones, never had surgery. Ranged from punching things, to punching people (broken hand bones), to wrestling (rib), to falling off my bike (arm), etc.

I broke a bone once. Well, I didn't break it, the delivery guy did. Not FedEx or anything, the guy that delivers babies. I was too big, they had to break my collarbone to get me out.

Broke right hand playing, of all things, softball. Then I got the cast taken off of my hand and one week later got the same hand caught in an air conditioner.Rebroke hand and almost lost the pinky. Five hours of micro surgery to reattach it too. Before the broken hadn though, I tore up my knee playing, of all things, softball. Surgically removed cartilage from knee and now I have one torn ligament and a whole lot of arthritis in my knee. Got the knee healthy by lots of physical therapy. Got me a nice new leg brace too. Got the knee healthy and then proceeded to break three of my ribs playing, of all things, softball. Guess what? I am no longer allowed within 100 yds of a softball field,per court order :)



Peace

Getting over a triple sprain right now (both sides of my ankle, and my foot), got my appendix out about 4 years ago.

No on both counts. 32 years and counting...

My streak ends when I have my wisdom teeth out, probably sometime this year.
