I honestly can't think of a really bad injury I've had. Never broken a bone, never been seriously hurt. *knock on wood*. And I've played sports all of my life and have done martial arts since high school.
Bumps, bruses, cuts, rolled/semi sprained ankles, jammed fingers, i've gotten my bell rung, scrapes, mat burns, sore muscles, pulled muscles, back aches, etc.
Actually, now that I'm thinking about it... when I was in middle school, I went up for a layup during one basketball game. I got fouled hard. Something got hurt in my back. Must have been a REALLY bad pinched nerve. Because it hurt SO bad for probably a year. I just played through it and even played baseball through it.
Baseball it was terrible. When I would swing, the twisting motion made pain shoot to my stomach and shoot down my legs and it would make my knees buckle and almost collapse. My whole stomach/back area felt so weak and shakey like it could hardly support my torso.
Yeah, that was the worst pain ever. How could I forget about that...
I never got it officially looked at. I just rested for basically a full year and took it easy, and it went away.
