Hey I've got some homework about sports injuries to do and I thought, who better to ask than a group of 20-50 year olds who are heavily involved with military and other strenuouse activity. Longer lives = better chance of results than a bunch of 14 year old kids.

 

All Categories are Down, thanks for helping me everyone.

Name: Matt Gough

Injury: Dislocation (shoulder)

How you did it: Swimming, actually racing my PE teacher and was winning and it came out near the end

ok thanks a lot Madhouse (screw you shotgun) hopefully you can get the ball rolling. Can you tell me what you dislocated? Shoulder? Hip?

Injury: Dislocation (shoulder)

 

I did

oh sorry I missed that

Name: Daniel Cade

Injury: Dislocation (Knuckle)

How you did it: Drove my knuckle back into my fist while playing football.

 

Injury: Fractures (Medial Tibial Syndrome *Shin Splints)

How you did it: Got taken out by serious illegal slide tackle while playing soccer which started the micro fracturing of both my shins put a total end to my sporting days and possibility of joining the armed forces.

 

My personal favourite although it wasn't technically a sport accident I fractured my collar bone when I landed my bike badly after a jump my friend who was a cadet medic came over to check my collar bone to see if it was broken. His exact words "See its not broken if it was broken I couldn't lean on it" guess what he did ? On the plus side when I went to the doctor he noticed I wasn't using my left index finger to button my shirt about 3 weeks earlier I had cut it quite badly with a scalpel all the way to the bone and had completely severed the tendon. 2 days later I was in surgery and now I have a 2 inch scar all the way down the left hand index finger and I still can't bend it fully. That doctor saved me from having a completly usless index finger know what that means I wouldn't be able to strafe left no finger for the D key.

thanks for that Vis, great help but I'm real sorry about the shin MTS, you must've had to rethink your entire life after that.

 

NOTE: for future reference, if a type of injury has been said, I only need one of each category. For example, Vis and Madhouse both mentioned there dislocation, I only need on story about each injury. The Fracture was still really helpful

I've got one for almost everyone of these but most are due to me being the most unlucky guy alive and since my shins are cactus I have hurt myself either at work or around the house.

thats alright Vis, I'm trying for one per person but if worse comes to the worse and no one wants to help out a team member in an environment centered around teamwork I'll use whatever you can give me

Name: Kirk M.

Injury: Sports Asthma

Story: Aged about 17 played a Hockey Grand Final in Darwin, nearly couldnt breathe close to end of the game. Saw a Doctor following day, he said it was "Sports Asthma" gave me an inhaler (different to usual asthmatics) i never used it. Strange.

 

BTW We won the Grand Final...I have a Trophy:)

I've had heat stroke, heat exhaustion, bruising followed by a strain, some cramps & spasms and that was all in one session giving a fine lady some sexercise

Thanks Kirk, but I could still do with your second name.

 

Graunch: Well, for every helpful person you have to have an extremely unhelpful person.

 

Bahlye: Thats a hefty set of injuries, but...none of it is new, I've already got info for fractures and nothing I needed was to do with stabbing

Ok I had a hyper-extention of my left knee in indoor soccer when a guy hacked my leg on a run with the ball trapped my foot and over I went knee locked and leg bent over in unnatural way.

I has Osgood-Schlatter disease which is a disease in your knees which make them hurt.

 

Dont know y its caused or how to fix it all i know is the more i excersice the better it feels

even if that is real shotgun, which I don't trust is after what you usually say, Its still not what I need for this

Tis real and u just said list your problems so

The categories are:

Cramps + Spasms

Strain

Sprain

Bruising

Heat Stroke

Heat Exhaustion
