[shin-dogu]

i get continous headaches. big ones i have knocked myself out ove 5 times too , might have sumthing to do with it

[stav]

i broke my face once

[DarkTrojan]

It stayed that way, didn't it?

[stav]

yes :(

[Sorcha]

Poor stav! :(

I have a scar on my forehead from cutting my head open when I younger from losing my balance and falling over. I broke my arm rollerblading which was rather stupid but I now have a nice scar from my opperation and such. My arm still isn't the way it's sposed to be but no one can tell! I constantly have a sore back from who knows what, and as soon as I bend in any direction it cracks. My shoulder muscles have been tight and in knots for about 8 years now and it's painful when doing strenuous things. I also have narrow ear passages so whenever I go swimming I almost always get water stuck in my ears which can sometimes lead to infections if I don't get it out (extremely painful middle ear infections mind you) and apart from all that I think I'm developing a problem in my wrist from using my mouse too much. It's getting to be painful and I'm developing a calis.

Should I mention the mental problems as well? :rolleyes:

[Tom2003uk]

When i was five i slipped on the toilet floor and bashed my head on the toilet. It was my dads birthday and we had to go to A&E :D

[mr jones]

i suffer from anxiety, depression and bulima. i have a drug addiction that im doing quite well at beating exept i slipped big time these last few weeks (hence not posting recently). im suicidal and have athletes foot. i have glue in my head from where i had a hole in my skull, i currently have a swollen right eye from being elbow at bierkeller in bristol, erm, think thats all for now

[Piedude]

I fell off a wall and cut my face off on one side a few years ago...

[RRiot]

me got a herniated disc....
at the age of 19 i think that's quite impressive.... anyway i get cortisone injections from time to time that make me blackout every once in a while....
i also get strong painkillers that make me puke from time to time.... (sry for all those details)
with a bit o luck my legs might get paralized so i need to be operated eventually....
did i mention it's really funny when you got the worst backache there is when you gotta learn for the finals?
so guys and girls.... i own you all ;)

[Generic Student]

Apparently i might have insomnia.......
I dont believe it myself though, but i have a friend who suffers and he is scarily certain about it.
I got scarring on my chin from falling out of a pram with a glass bottle as a kid.
Oh and Acne, i got plenty of that.
goddamn it

[Fick]

I've only ever broken one bone.

It was my skull.

(not sure this is suited to the hot tub really, maybe pap)

[Dr-Electro]

If you live as long as I have, the maladies begin to accumulate. For starters, there are approximately 120 stitches in various parts of my body. Only broken three bones in my whole life, but one is my nose which I have broken three times. ow.

Then the medical stuff: Diabetes, emphysema, depression, acid reflux disease, full-body arthritis, allergies out the wazoo, and now I have added high blood pressure to the mix. I have a strong tendency to dehydrate severely, which could simply stop my heart from beating. I also suspect mercury poisoning. The cluster headaches come and go, often giving me weeks of respite at times. Then there is the chronic lower back pain. If not for all the doctors and nurses in my life, I would already be in the ground, more than half-eaten by the worms.

I guess most of that is due to getting old. The arthritis I was born with. The acid reflux has been there as long as I can remember. My bathroom is almost a full pharmacy.

Other gratuitous injuries include sprained ankles and wrists, dislocated shoulder, thumb, one toe and two fingers. One severe concussion at the age of two. Dog bites. Rat bite. Monkey bite. Snake bites (2). Three car wrecks that miraculously left me uninjured, but feeling funny in the head and nauseous for days afterward. One case of dysentery, one bad case of e-coli, one almost fatal case of bronchitis and pneumonia at the same time and three strep infections.

I also have the small ear canals and South Pacific Ear Fungus which is incurable but can be kept down with medication. More pharmacy there.

All things considered, I am in pretty fair health for an 801 year old human. For my real age, I should be dead but I'm too damned stubborn to give up.:D

[Tom2003uk]

Wow thats a lot of stuff. One question, what is acid reflex disease?

[Waffles]

My most novel injury to date occured when i was a wee lad. I was running with a pointed stick on my birthday, but then again, who hasnt run with a pointed stick on their birthday, i tripped and fell headlong onto it... heres the cool part... it went into my mouth and gouged out part of my palatte. Mom just about lost it when i ran into the house screaming with blood pouring out of my mouth. Had to gargle salt-water for weeks in addition to the minor surgery to repair it. I still remember the glass... it was yellow with a black smiley face on it, and if i ever see it again im going to do horrible things to it.

[magic_pea]

Not much point in posting now - Dr S has pwn3d us all!

I have never broken any bones in my body, I had my foot run over once which left me with minor bruises, but apart from that the only thing "wrong" with me is that I'm a fat-ass. :D

[Dead Body]

Acid reflux is when you have chronic heartburn, no?

Compared to most of you I'm doing quite well, I'm a chronic insomniac (I went a month once without sleeping), I have a pretty fucked up back from being in too many moshpits, and I have lost quite a bit of my hearing so I occasionally lose the hearing in one ear for a day or so.

[Dr-Electro]

Yes, acid reflux is chronic heartburn. Only thing is, when it flares up badly it can make you think you are dying of a heart attack or burning in the inside. It can get pretty horrible. The worst possible scenario is to have a bad attack and be in a place where you can't get any kind of antacids. It gets scary and painful.

Dr. S? Pwns us all? Nah. Close but no cigar.

A friend of mine literally gutted himself with a pointed stick on his birthday. He spent three weeks in the hospital getting his innards patched back together. It took eighteen surgeries to finally repair all the damage.

[vampiress]

well.. where to start..
i was born with a hernia, nice scar down below... my legs are all scared because i was trying to keep up with the boys and always cutting myself.

oi doc e i have about 120 stitched in my head...
when i was three i slipped in the batch and cut my chin
when i was 5 some kid threw a wrench in my face
i fell off the couch when i had chicken pox (sort of fainted actually from fever) and cracked my noggin on the coffee table
a couple of years later i cut the back of my head again, but i forget how. i just remember it was more stiches than the coffee table inccident
and when i was 17 i slipped in my room and fell into the desk cutting my eye

i've cut my palm with a knife cutting a bagle

broken several fingers and my thumb.

broke my leg at the ankle, messed up my knee cap and my hip slipping on the ice.

oh forgot the tons of broken bits from moshpits. ribs, nose, glasses, toes...
and those are just my unintentional hurts...

[freddiestarfish]

I havn't had as many injuries as you accident prone people, but here goes:
Broken toe from running foot long into a door frame, accompanied by a lot of blood as the toe bent, and the nail sliced open the toe next to it.
Really bad bronchitis, luckily mostly over it because my lungs were in good condition, but it has left me with and asthma-like thing, and i still cough up mucus every now and then.
My feet are a bit scarred in numerous placers from where the skin keeps getting rubbed off in places from kayaking.
I also have lots of scars on my legs from cycling accidents, andd lost all over my hands.

[[murray]]

Dont you cough up hairballs, freddie? ;)

I have torn my right calf muscle (or more accurately, my frined tore my calf muscle) landing me in 10 months of excruciating pain including 4 months of physiotherapy.

Bruised my shoulder bone playing football once, unpleasant.

Ive been kicked in the face (unintentionally, and by the same person who tore my calf muscle, incidentally) when playing football as well, which took a chip out of my teeth.

Finally, I can click about 50% of the bones in my body < fun.

[darkling]

wah reading this thread is making me cringe.. ouch!
anyway.. i've dislocated my elbow and fractured it in 5 places, which meant i had to have metal pins in my arm to hold the two sides of the joint together..broken both ankles (one straight after the other)..and most recently severed all the tendons in my right thumb as a glass broke while i was holding it and went straight through my thumb.. niiice.:)

[spongmonkey]

Well compared to you guys im lucky except for a rather interesting thing.
Whenever I get hot and/or excersise i get an extremely painful blistering rash which disappears as quickly as it appears. however it does make it very hard to excersise. Even walking my dogs now causes it. My Mother and Brother both suffer the same problem but not as bad. and none of us have ever seen the doctor about it.
Apart from being a complete arse and incredibly unlikeable thats about it for me.

[piemanmoo]

I was born with a ribcage the curves inward. It goes about 2-2½ inches when I lean over. It can get pretty painful at times.

And I have one leg.

[Reaperman]

i have several mental disorders, a mild case of multiple personality disorder (not like you think, its like a mad crazy imagination, i can talk to myself for hours, get in fights with myself, hold a confrance with myself.... its quite interesting sometimes ^^)

plus, one of my toes has a horrible hangnail... :slash:

[RRiot]

kay!
maybe this isn't the right spot to ask....
what you guys and girls to about headaches???
i woke up tommorow and one bitch of a headache, i think it's cause of the weather change or something....
the problem is that i'm allergic to aspirine as well as paracetamol so i can't do anything at the moment except coffee....
i'll hug anybody who gives me a good hint.... and i'll give sexyings to anything that beats me headaches ;)

[Reaperman]

simple, take a hot bath, turn on the drain, and turn cold water on

works evrey time...

[Cloud]

i have sumit wrong with my lympatic system, what ever that does.

feel sick all the time,

i broken my wrist and my elbows before.
when i was 5 i went into hospital 6times from doing the exact same thing.

cnt remember nething els

[Unreal]

Right i have these two yellow lumps in my eyelid or eye whatever but its all yellow and i have to wear a patch and i look like a pirate its so kool.

Also i have a nose bleed every week I've had 3 in 1 week is so strange.

[NIGHTCOW]

I am pigeon chested so my breast bone pokes about 2 inches out from my rib cage...

I have never broken anything however, never been treated in a hospital, never even been stung by bee, hornet or wasp

Had mild pneumonia a couple of years ago (lots of blood in my mucus)

Had chickenpox when i was 15 and i was off school for 3 weeks, still got loads of scars cos i picked the little things as I didnt know what they were.

I've never had anything really bad happen to me... and no disorders or diseases. Just a few bruises and scratches here and there, and last year I thought I may have cancer but the test came back and everything was okay. Then I had an allergic reaction to medicine once... broke out in a terrible rash from head to toe, fainted a few times, and slept for about three days straight because I was so weak.
Other than that, I've been fairly healthy so far. *knocks on wood*

You want to talk about dumb luck. There was one case of west nile over the past summer in Illinois. Guess who was the lucky one to get it. Yep me. Wasn't that bad just had a crappy flu for about a week and a half.

[spongmonkey]

I have three nipples. I dont know if that counts as an ailment. I can tune the 3rd to Virgin Radio though :D

Love the A-Tuin sig. The tuskers are a nice touch. How long did that take you to do?

Back on topic, my arthritis is kicking like a government mule today. I hurt in places where I didn't know I had places.

Oddball arthritis fact: Did you know that arthritis will attack ALL the cartilege in your body? It can make your nose and ears hurt seriously and even make them disappear by dissolving the cartilege right out of them.

[sheep go moo]

back to topic
when i was 18 months old i didnt know what happened when u just let yourself fall over so i stiffened up and fell down
but i was in line with the edge of the door and i fell on it creating a massive gash on my head i have loads of stiches that time

mines like that

[Dr-Electro]

Chest expansion exercises may help to cover that extended breastbone with muscle. Of course you could end up looking like Arnold, but is that a problem?

Depending on your age, normal growth could also make a difference as you get older. I knew a guy (more than thirty years ago) who had that at the age of 13, as well as narrow shoulders, backward elbows and huge hips. Now, he just looks like a middle aged, balding, tired grandfather.:D

[BigEgg]

Well I don't think that I am as bad as some people in here but I'll give it a go; Asthma since the age of 5 after a really bad case of bronchitis,
Hayfever which is not too bad but it can be really annoying and I can end up with bloodshot eyes from the sneezing which then ache for about two days,
Eczema which can come and go,a few patches on my scalp and the backs of my knees but never really bad,
Colitis, an inflammation of the lining of the bowel which I have had for at least five years,
Also a possibility of Crohn's as I had a colonoscopy over Easter and they took eight biopsies.
There was also a couple of times in the winter when my feet would develop cracks around the heels and they would bleed a bit and my socks would get caught in them but that has gone away thankfully.

[Dr-Electro]

Ow! and Damn! on the heel thing. I had forgotten that I experienced that twice while I was in the Navy. They gave me some stuff to put on it that stained my socks and shoes and made my feet stink like all Hell. I don't think it helped me get over it any faster, either. Supposedly it was a fungus. Yuck! I feel for you.

Those respiratory problems will make you feel at least a hundred years older than you are, too. I hope you see some improvement with time.

On the theme that one can always find someone else who is worse off, today I saw an old woman in a motorized wheelchair, hauling a bottle of oxygen and wearing a mask, blind in one eye and missing half a hand. I think she was wearing a colostomy bag, too, from the smell and the lump on one side. She was grocery shopping. She had two people along to help and needed all the assistance she could get from them. At least she was out there making the effort. I think I might sit in a corner and waste away if I was that bad off.

[A-tuin]

i sympathise with you all. these ailments sound really nasty.

oh yeah, also last year, my mum had just washed the kitchen floor and i ran in bare foot, slipped and slammed my feet into the fridge breaking two toes in four places and chipping my cheekbone against the doorframe. that was rather painful.

[Mooselord]

slashed across the eye with a golf club causing temporary blindness and a broken "eye bone", I have ADD, i've developed an odd schizophrenia, i have terrible heartburn, i have insomnia, im extremley attached to unimportant things and i am insane to several different degrees.

Are you one of my relatives?

Oh, I forgot to mention the incredibly painful heartburn that I used to have. Now the medication works so well that I completely forget it until somebody else brings it up in conversation.:D Hooray for modern medicine! It's great when they get it right.

'tis always cozy to have medicine that works!

[Chookmeister]

I would appear to have some sort of full-body arthritis, which hasn't yet been diagnosed. Thankfully it isn't rheumatoid arthritis, since at the tender age of 21, that would apparently be devastating. It flares up now and then, along with some accompanying muscular pain. This began last February, just before my 20th birthday. Is it arthritis? Is the muscular pain polyneuralgia? Do I have lupus?

I don't have multiple sclerosis, it would seem, which I was terrified of during a bout of odd muscular action during the summer, along with other symptoms. I would suspect there is more than just arthritis, but it's all confusing. Yes, I am as confused as you must be reading this incoherent pseudo self-diagnosis. :)

I have had tinnitus for nearly 6 years. During the '98 world cup, I suffered some strange symptoms, along with the sudden starting of a shrill noise in both ears one day. It never went away, and I have been let off the hook not once, but twice by making it worse with exposure to loud music and causing myself to consider suicide before it getting better again. I still experience it, but I don't suffer from it.

I have suffered from depression twice - the first time just before my tinnitus began, and the second time stemmed initially from teenage angst, but did indeed spiral out of control into a deep depression.

[Dr-Electro]

Chookiemeister, go get your glucose checked. You are describing a near-perfect set of diabetes symptoms. The sooner you get it check out the better off you will be.

At your age, it can probably be controlled by diet and exercise, but you need to get diagnosed as early as possible, before any permanent damage sets in. Please, go have it checked out.

I'm glad I caught mine as early as I did.:D

[Indiana Jones]

I broke my arse swinging from my whip. I fell off and busted my arse.

[A-tuin]

i regret to inform you that i am going to be in hospital later on because i flew into an asteriod and it ripped my fin open. i hate asteroids!!!

its not too serious but it does require a few thousand miles of stitching. ill have to get the creator to do it. i dont trust satan with the needle.

I didn't mention problems with my eyes, did I? I'm heading to the orthoptist at some point in the future. How does that cement your thoughts?

I've just checked the sheet my GP gave me to take to the nurse next Tuesday for my blood test, and there's a tick in the glucose box. In a way I hope you're right, because I want to have something that can be treated.

[Dr-Electro]

Good luck, buddy. Yes, the vision problems coincide with diabetes as well. I hope you catch whatever it is soon enough to head off the worst effects. Keep us posted, ok?

[MUG]

I get migraines and have allergies.

Well, for mental problems I have severe anxiety, depression, ADHD, I'm bipolar, and I have gone insane a couple of times.

Edit: That made me sound really fucked up...oh well.

[Dr-Electro]

If the label fits ... (only kidding) None of that is any laughing matter. You will have problems your entire life because of all that. My hope for your future is that you are able to control it to the extent that you can live and work independently for the rest of your life. Good luck.

Back to the weird thumb: When I was a Freshman in high school, we were dissecting frogs in Biology. I got some of the formaldehyde under one thumbnail and didn't get it all cleaned out. The result was that the tip of my thumb rotted away, including most of the nail. Now, almost forty years later, my thumb is back to normal, but for most of my life it was noticably shorter than the other thumb. It is still a tiny bit shorter, but it looks like a normal thumb.

Thank you Dr. I think some of my mood swings have shown on the forums. Like take the forum in the debate section for example. If I was in the mood I was now, I would have done it in a proper way (actually I probably wouldn't have done it at all). But, yesterday and today I have been in a rather good mood (on the forums anyway). I go from being happy as possible to holding a knife. So you're right that it's not a funny manner, and I'm sorry that I've gotten angry at people and all of that. I will try to not post on the forums when I'm in a bad mood.

[Dr-Electro]

That's a demon I've had to conquer myself. The damned thing still shows its horns at times, usually inappropriate times at that. More power to you, you have a difficult task set for yourself. Two thumbs up to you.:D

[flyingmonkey]

Let's see, I've broken every one of my toes at some point in my life, I've had two surgeries on my right knee and one on my left (and I'm due for another one sometime soon, just trying to delay it until after crew season is over), I broke my ankle once when I was little and can pop the bone in and out of the socket, and I broke my left wrist in a car accident over the summer (They didn't set it properly so now its tilted at a funny angle.)

I've actually gotten off fairly easily. With all the stupid, crazy stuff I did when I was a kid, by all rights, I should be dead by now. I know I'm not helping my knees much either (I'm a distance runner and on my school's crew team.) But oh well. That which does not kill you only makes you stronger.

I'm an accident waiting to happen. :(

mmm...impact hilarity. well, yesterday my old tv from when I was in college (why i still have the thing....its that attachment to meaningless things i mentioned i guess.) fell on my hand. ow. it sucked. odly enough the tv is unharmed.

[the roo]

compared to most I got off pretty lightly. When i was three i fell and got a rusty nail embedded just behind my kneecap.. much screaming followed that one. I'm allergic to penicillin and my knee just ceases to work for a day or two occasionally, due to landing badly when triple jumping a 4 years ago. Oh, and I cracked a rib and further wrecked my knee when my horse fell on me last year... but apart from that I've been fine! so far.. :)

[Dr-Electro]

I am finding new evidence of the advances of arthritis agains my body. I now have a toe that will not bend. All my toes had started turning upward, but now the middle toe on my right foot will not bend at all. It looks funny when I try to bend all the toes on that foot now: the foot is shooting the bird!:D

I'm still waiting to begin feeling the effects of some new medication the Dr. prescribed for me. So far, it does nothing.:(

[Wondiferous Amy]

I recently had an operation to an abcess at the bottom of my spine. Turned out to be a cavity the size of a fist. Took 3 months to heal completely. Didnt get stitches, they stuffed it with absorbant stuff because of the infection.
But I is all better now, apart from a chest infection lol. :rawk:

[Curlz]

My best friend chopped the end of my finger off in a door once. it wasn't her fault, i shouldn't have had my fingers in the door anyway but she still felt guilty.
Its amazing how surgeons do it...they managed to sew it bak on and theres only a tiny white line around the top where they stitched it - you can hardly tell
