Pretty clever nickname for 13 year olds to make up. I can appreciate now I'm nearing 50. lol

It happens to 1 in 4000 of men under the age of 25. How lucky of me! HA

Curled over here in the foetal position just thinking about it.

Ooooh where to start!

When I was 13 I had a scrotum hernia caused by Testicular Torsion. This is where the a Nad rotates twisting the testicular chord. The chord then wrapped itself over said Nad and tied itself into a knot. The pain was excruciating. Firstly my Dad was trying to work out if I'd been having a one manned arm wrestle with myself but looking back it was from saving a rather spicy penalty with my plums earlier in the day that did the damage. Still a teenager does not want to disclose information like that to their parents. This added to the pain. Needless to say, an overnight stay at the hospital with a surgery to untie by ball knots resulted in much less pain but a few years of bullying and getting called Swingball etc even though a full compliment of 2 plums are still in place to this day. I can also confirm they are still working so well done to all in that Surgical team that day.

Second isn't quite as bad but those squeamish amongst us will maybe not enjoy this one, if they are still reading.

Playing football a few years back and went in for a slide tackle. Unfortunately my thumb went into a hole left by a stud. I kept sliding. Either I stopped sliding or my thumb would have to go from a 90 degree movement to 180 degree movement to allow my momentum to continue. The latter occured leaving me with a scaphoid fracture of the thumb. On my right hand. I still had to drive home from the game after getting changed. Try taping your thumb to your hand so it cannot be used then try to get dressed. Bloody Tricky. Now add pain and sweating and you'll understand the place I was in.

I've done my ACL and torn my adductor muscle too while playing football. In hindsight I should have never taken up the game. Maybe my injury-proness qualified me to play for Everton?

Jesus wept. That first paragraph probably made a lot of folks cross their legs and wince.

Loads of stuff over the years broken bones, crushed finger and many cuts. A lot sport related, mainly football. The worst one was torn ankle ligaments 20 years ago, led to me an ankle fusion a few years ago. It was devastating as I wasn't able to run again

And that's how my Dad found me.

When I was a kid, the old case ball slammed in to my privates from about a yard away - I ended up with TB -

I've had grief with my achilles and been doing physio, after a bit of a break from football I've just played 5 games in 9 days and now can't get up the stairs.

Hope she's not in too much pain and is on the road to recovery with it.

Cheers mate. Nah, she’s a grumpy sod about it.

Just in case anyone missed it first time ?

Did you require the police to carry out a fingertip search Tommye?

 

[larbert toffee]

I was playing football in shorts aged about 7 at my Grans in Leeds and was stung on my bellend by a wasp ?
Could have been a lot worse, I went to St James hospital Leeds for my tetanus jab, Jimmy Saville could have been on duty ?

Tore my acl playing footie ... as all top players do. Most painful injury I've experienced... up there with a paper cut and lemon juice, but longer lasting.

One i can laugh about now but was utterly horrific at the time, when i was about 17 or 18 went to jump over a barbed wire fence and obviously disturbed a wasps nest. All i remember is it was like a wall of just pure fury swarming me and stinging the absolute hell out of my face, i dropped to the ground like a bag of [Poor language removed] trying to swat them away which just meant my hands also became another target for them. What a terrific day that was...

Shattered my right leg, did my PCL at the same time. A couple of months was spent in the Royal recovering and learning how to walk again.

Note to any parents on here. Never let your kids near a skateboard!!
