Can you brake bones?\nHave you gotten hurt in the snow?

Another yes here! I am always very scared about my knees 'dislocating' or 'popping out' on me. I tend to 'waddle' when I walk and wear shoes with good grip. Just be careful, take your time and if need be, give youself extra time to get from A to B in the snow!

friction bad---- it is bad if you want to go ice skating friction will cause you stick and not be able to smoothly glide accross the ice\n\nfriction good- if you were at the top of a mountain at a 45 degree angle and the only thing keeping you there is the soles of your trainers and thefirm rugid edge of the mountain

sounds like a possible calcaneal fracture.  you don't decribe location of pain, that would be educated guess based on description of jumping from high surface.  check out a great informative website, myfootshop.com. check out the article and see if it sounds like your symptoms, if not tool around the site, i think you'll find it to be helpful.  use the source as direct link to site.

Yes, go to the doctor and get an x-ray.  Sounds like you have a small fracture but you won't know for sure until you get that x-ray.  You don't want to keep re-injuring it.

I dropped a frozen turkey... that thing was slippery and cold!

Yes, shin splints can cause permanent damage.  Having a doctor as a father a having done track and field, I know this to be true.  Sure there are ways to heal shin splints, like icing it and massaging, and stretching it.  However the best treatment is REST.  It'd true, no matter how much you ice it, it won't get better unless you rest it.  If you ignore the pain and keep running on them you WILL suffer permanent damage.  After running on this type of injury, if and when you ever heal, your legs will never be the same;you will never completely heal the bone and muscle tissue.  My advice is to rest: your shins will thank you later on in life.

NO, I'm sorry my friend but those things take time to heal and I'm talkin more than a few days. If you chance it you could cause further damage to your ankle, maybe long term. Get Well Soon!

First you need to go to skating events and you can sign up as an amature and try that way. Or go to skating demo's and there usually is a skating rep there and if ur good you could possibly be noticed. The best way to get over being scared about getting hurt is to do what i did when i started snowboarding just accept that you will fall but when you do try to laugh it off and get right back up and keep going, b/c if you stop and think about it the more you will want to chicken out and if u do fall do not use your hands to stop you from falling b/c then u will get hurt. But other than that just tell yourself nothing will happen and you will be fine, and good luck!

It's probably not your bones.  It's most likely your tendons or ligaments.  Bones have cartilage around them that protects them from contact with other bones.  Unless you've worn that cartilage down you're bones would never touch.  In the event they did you'd feel more of a grinding sensation.  You may just need to get out and active.  Stretch so your muscles don't get so tight and place so much stress on the surrounding tissues.

The only way to know if a bone is fractured is by Xray.  I had one just above my ankle and had to be in a cast for a couple of months.  Get it Xrayed.

tried doing a backflip on my bike when i was about 6. on the broken curb. i did it halfway in the air. then i fell off the bike (still in the air), and dropped onto the concrete floor. then the bike fell on top of me.

Sorry, but the only way to tell if a bone is broken is with an x-ray unless it is visibly deformed. Please try to go to the doctor. In the mean time, keep it elevated and put ice compresses to reduce the swelling. Good luck.

You can try bone lengthening - that is by increasing the height of the femur bone (in your leg) by a few inches...but its quite painful, an you will need to be using crutches until it heals.\n\nThe best method is to use artificial methods, like heeled shoes

A little clarification to Steve's answer.  If you run your sled into a target, all of its kinetic energy is absorbed by the sled and/or the target.  If the target is a perfect spring, the collision will be elastic, and the sled will end up travelling at the same speed in the opposite direction.  If the target is a snowbank, the collision will be inelastic, and the sled won't bounce at all.\n\nIn both cases, the sled's kinetic energy deforms the target.  The spring's deformation is reversible; the snowbank's deformation is permanent.

You may have damaged the end of your tail bone I did the same when ice skating

Because the neighbor didn't shovel the snow?!...Well knowing that it's slippery &(maybe snowing) why would you be running...you would have to incur some responsibility for your own actions.  So I say no don't sue.
