Worst injury experience

[ps1]

That sounds bad... How long did it take before you could breathe without pain? I heard that sternum/rib injuries take more than 2 months to heal.

It took at least 4 weeks, and it still hurts if someone hugs me hard or if my ribs get squished in any way.

I cracked a rib about a year ago. It took about 4 or 5 weeks to heal where I could take pressure on it and it's still a bit sore sometimes. They take forever. I feel your pain on that one.

my worst injury was when i got kicked while in the hand when i was sparring and my hand bent back and my knuckles touched the top side of my forearm, it was the most painful thing i have ever felt, it took about three months for me to regain the ability to rotate and bend my wrist. i'll never spar with open hands again!

-when I had a weak landing after a jump-front kick,pulled the thigh muscle(During white belt level)

-broke my arm in grappling,arm bar (During white belt level)

thats too much pain for a new yellow belt i guess

-oh,and dislocated my shoulder during the grab in a hipthrow

I'll take back what i said in my first thread Last night in training we were doing kumite. I won my first two fights with 3 straight points. Last fight i scored once to the face and then lost when the guy punched me hard in the chest (me being a lady it hurt a lot ). The guy did apologise profusely but where was his control! It was meant to be light freestyle.

Anyway i was down on the floor for ages with tears in my eyes, i didnt want to stand up and let people se where i got hit! It doesnt half hurt this morning.

ohh ochhh are you ok tho?

touch wood iv never had any bad ones of yet just a couple of nasty looking brusies but while i used to dance i once hit my shin full force with my heavy shoe it was so painful i cant tell you and to this day (it was about 7 years ago) i still have a dent in my shin bone!!

the other good i have had was falling in the playground and breaking the bone behind my knee and bursting the vain next too it had to be on crutches for nearly 4 months

I remember getting hit in a area like that too,I got a light groin kick by my brother,hes about 9,and hes a purple belt,so hes short and accidentaly kicked me not too far and eventually started hopping until he kicked me in my groin area....dude,that kills

My worst was when I was messing around with another black belt who was about 6 inches taller than me. I gave him a choke hold and he flipped me over his shoulder. Instead of landing on the floor on my back, I landed standing up, ultimately jamming my knee so bad that I collapsed to the ground. My gosh that hurt. To this day, I still have to be careful with that knee. Luckily there were no ligament tears.

Hmmm, where to start? So many over the years. My worst is not probably the most severe but the most far-reaching which was a cracked sternum, as it is still slightly displaced to this day (14 years on) and has contributed to back problems etc, although I can't complain, nothing that serious. Most painful at the time were probably broken toes and a broken hand, my technique improved much after these incidents!

Oh dear. Sometimes i wonder why we do this.

Haven't managed an MA injury yet, but I partially tore tendons in my rotator cuff by pitching with insufficient conditioning. It kept me out of baseball for about 12 months. Now I do resistance tubing exercises with it every day. I also tore my hamstring playing baseball, I extended my stride to try and make first base, and, well, I extended too much. The physio said the bruising and swelling were about the worst he'd seen and just short of requiring surgery, he took a photo of it.
