I was running miles for the Track Team in college. I sprained my ankle right in front of an autobody shop near Pinstripes.

I'll admit it...I'm a F'n tin man. I hurt myself so many times growing up, I've got all sorts of screwed up body parts.

hyperextended my right knee in 96...never been the same since.

tore my left rotator cuff back in 2000...it still gives me pains.

bad neck/back from a car accident in 97...and now an office job with bad posture keeps the pains. The imporperly fused vertebrae at the base of my spine don't help

very bad migraines with too much computer time (something about eye strain on tv/computer screens, even though my eyes are perfect)

When my ankles hurt, I hold them.

This whole thing is really funny.
Besides some of the replies I can't believe so many of us have the same problem. I was only kidding. Maybe bn'ers are just more active and so they get hurt more.

Well, I guess I have to weigh in here too.

Broken right ankle. Two surgeries on it. Still has a pin in it. (right handed)

(Do you want to hear about the wrist I broke at a garage sale or the foot I broke while geocaching?)

I still haven't even gotten to go geocaching yet, Nancy! My poor gps is still in the box. Never got to use it before I left for FL in Feb and since I've been in SoCal ever since breaking my leg, it is still sitting in the box up north. I'm going to try to remember to grab it on my next trip up there, maybe I can find some easy caches around here...or at least learn how to use the dang gps.

Of course given the long term affects of this injury, maybe I should just sell the dang thing.

broken right ankle, spiral break, just fell of the front porch..

broken tibia plateau, right leg...'86 Harley Sportster, end of my biking days,

been water skiing since I was 8, guess the slalom isn't too good for knees either....I've quite taking all meds. for them except for pain, and only when I need it....Celebrix was a waste of money...

most important thing, for me, is to stay very active...

I'm happy to report that my ankles are holding up well.

It's my right shoulder that is weak; I dislocated it seven years ago in a horseriding accident. Ouch! On a bad day, it cracks and pops.

a very cool hobby. All it takes is a good handheld gps unit and a plan.

Too many injuries to count, my body is a wreck.

Larry... to make it to your age without an injury would be a miracle. What was it like on the First Crusade?

Grrrrrr. I jinxed myself. I sprained my wrist today in the process of playing 6 hours of tennis.

Hey! Sitting in front of a computer and typing and scrolling and reading is strenuous work!
