Broke my arm. Most intense pain I've ever felt in my life. It's that kind of pain that makes you throw up. Snaped my forearm into a 45 degree angle when I fell. NOT RECOMMENDED.
 
Broke my back (t12- compression fracture) in 78. Was sidelined 18 months. Fell off of a roof and hit a concrete driveway.
Broke my arm in 2000. Was playing hockey.
Broke my heart in 96. Soul mate left me.
 
I train in karate and I was doing a cresent kick to my friends head( yes he is my friend...still) and he punched my foot breaking 2 toes...that hurt
 
Ehh surgery on my balloozas, that i don't know what caused THAT!

And sprained finger, REALLY REALLY bad jam, bent 40degrees at the join and disloc + sprained, i never knew a finger could hurt so bad.... basketball.
 
Had surgery on a chalaizon (sp?) in my upper eyelid. They had to flip it inside out, cut it open and let it empty out. No stitches since it was on the inside of the eyelid.

Boy was my eye soar after, but it was better than it was before. It was like having something the size and texture of a pea inside my eyelid 🙁
 
Broken:

At least 7 fingers: All sports injuries, mix of basketball, football and volleyball
Left arm: Childhood stunt gone horribly wrong. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
2 ribs: car accident
Another rib: Football
Collarbone: Football
Nose: At least twice. Once baseball and once in a tickle fight with my girlfriend.

Surgery: Left knee scoped. Baseball injury.
 
i broke both my left and right arms when i was younger. I broke left on a rope swing and the right on a racquetball court.

a couple months ago i broke my femur/hip when i fell/jumped off a roof when i was very drunk. That was my first surgery, i had to have a rod and screws put in my leg. And a lot of people have seen my thread about having a fasciotomy. Since then i've had a skin graft to cover the hole but it didn't take. So on Thursday i get to go back to the doctor to see if the doctors want another skin graft.
 
pulled a back muscle when my swimming club decided i could swim everything at a comp one time

i did my events and teams, and the age group aboves events and teams....i was out for a while
 
Wrist surgery with bone graft from hip; had pin inserted temporarily and screw inserted permanently. HS football.

Surgery on thigh (well, he used a scalpel), to cut open a large blood swelling...thing. Had to have a drainage tube in for a week to allow proper reattachment of skin/muscle (it got drained with a needle once but sealed up too quick and reformed). Goofing off at work.

Had all 4 wisdom teeth out, 2 at a time. The dentist for the first two was pumped. "Look at the roots on this thing! Your teeth are built like a Mack truck!"

Torn Achilles, along with most of my ligaments in ankle and some other tendons also. HS football. I had also injured that ankle about 4 years earlier, which I think weakened it. Rehab consisted of wearing an Aircast and missing the bus and walking to school every day.

Broke a knuckle in my left ring finger. Luckily the next day the previous item ocurred, took my mind right off it. HS football.

Some stitches on forehead. In retrospect, don't pitch a golf ball to someone with a baseball bat. 😀 :Q

EDIT: Oh, and I broke the wrist in August of 12th grade. Didn't go to doctor until after graduation. Had surgery on July 3rd...about 11 months later. I didn't know it was broken, just thought it was a really bad sprain...that wouldn't go away. I have a pretty good pain tolerance.

Didn't go to the doctor for 2 weeks when I tore my Achilles.
 
4 stitches about a quarter inch from my left eye from a golf club when i was 8 or 9. Broke my left arm snowboarding in 8th grade. 4 more stitches on my right hand from a lid of a can at work in 10th grade. Nothing major since.
 
I had surgery when I was about 18-20 months. I guess it was pretty serious and I cried a lot, but at least I lived and don't remember it. 😀

Never broken a bone, though I've had some pretty painful stuff happen to me.
