Both my wrists - I didn't get one of the wrists put into a cast because I couldn't afford it. \n\nWant to know the funniest thing? The one that I didn't have put into a cast healed perfectly fine. The one I DID have put into a cast healed oddly and now pretrudes a little and is crooked. I also have arthritis in that wrist now. Yeah - thanks doc - next time I'll let God take care of it ;)\n\nI've also had cracked ribs but they healed on their own and they're fine now.\n\nThat's all for the bones - but I lost my pinky finger in the door once...but they sewed it back on just fine and you can hardly tell - but I guess I'll save that for a "severed appendage" question ;)

As there are many bones in your arm n some of them quite small really only an x-ray can tell for sure.......and it could be that you have chipped the bone rather than broken it .....see a doctor xx

Ouch - that hurts!  I broke my clavicle when I was 15 too (now 36).  I only broke it in one place and that was painful enough.  Although it healed and is stable, I can still feel where the bones overlap and fused in that position.\n\nI have heard of surgery being performed but it is very unusual.  Sometimes it is pinned.  The splint should allow things to heal properly but it will take around 6-8 weeks.  Need to make sure that the middle section doesn't displace and cause complications, i.e. brachial plexus injury, lung problems.

Breaking your humerus is not unusual when you fall.  We see lots of this especially in older people whose bones are not as flexible as a younger person.  Not getting enough protein is not the cause of your bone break it was just an unlucky accident for you.  You get protein from lots of other sources besides meat so I am sure you get plenty of protein.  Eggs, dairy products and things like peanut butter are all high in protein.  Consider your break an unlucky accident and nothing more.

No, but nearly had my head taken off by a clothesline.  Riding a dirt-bike in the yard, didn't realize foster-mom had strung a line between the orange trees, saw it a half-second before I hit it.  Had just enough time to raise up off the seat, causing it to strike me across the chest and upper arms instead of the neck.  Snatched me off the bike quicker than lickity-split too (and left a nasty welt as well).

Being hit by a car at age ten. It was scary....to me, that is. I was across the street, saw my cousin crying, went back over there to see why, then, got hit. I did look both ways. I was on the ground, and I was crying as soon as I saw my Nana. And, get this, no broken bones! Even if I did flew up all the way in the air. I am stronger, now. I think. Anyway, had to share.

Not necessarily much, I think.\n\nOn a rainy day when I was ten (1954) I slipped on wet cobblestones (Italy). Landed on my tailbone and broke it.\nStill bent to this day. Thanks be to The Good Lord, there was no spinal injury. Could have been, too.\n\nThere's such a thing as freak accidents, and this was one.

I fell on ice last year walking out to my car and I cut the tip of my chin on the ground - I got a small cut and it bled like crazy.  I felt like an idiot.  But nobody saw me.  At least that I know of.

I spent my entire last semester of my senior year in the hospital and got exempt from every exam. Since I went to a private school, they just "gave" me my last year based on my GPA. (idiots)\nI broke over half the bones in my body, lost 5 teeth, was blind for 6 months, and had a HUGE piece of toboggan stuck through my leg for at least a week until they could figure out what specialist could get it out.. \nGraduation was just a riot with no friggin teeth. I had so much fun making crass jokes and used ketchup packets to squirt out fake blood, pretending my friends had hit me whenever kids or older people stared at me.\nWait a minute... I still do that..

did it hurt?\nwhen you fell from heaven.

Ok you either bruised the bone or you have a heel spur; or both!  Maybe you had a heel-spur and it broke off when you fell. OR..you may have cracked your heel, which no orthopedic doc can do anything about..no cast or anything.   Only way to know is see a doc and have an xray.  Otherwise, soak in ice, take asiprin for inflammation with food, and grit your teeth.

hell yeah! hah-\n\na couple of days ago, it was time for phys ed. i was walking with some friends, and then in the changing room, i tripped over one's foot - that lead to me falling, smashing into a locker, my gym bag flew away, and my shoes went soaring. my knapsack completely broke my fall, though. but man, i was lying on the ground for about a minute laughing HARD.\n\noh god i love when that happens.

When I was nine, I broke my arm. I was jumping off a little tykes pic nic table and grabbing the top bar of my swing set. Swinging and then jumping off. Well, we moved it back a little to far for me (i am not very tall!! about 5 foot tall at 25) and I missed the top bar. I fell and tried to catch myself with my left arm. I them proceeded to land on top of my arm and broke both the bones in my arm with one coming through the skin. I had emergency surgery, 14 stitches and a heavy plaster cast from fingertips to shoulder for four months. The scar is a doozy too. I held the record for worst broken bone on a girl at the hospital for a while. Hurts just thinking about it.

You probably broke your little toe. At the very least you probably cracked the little bone.  It will get better but takes a month or so.
