Crash Course
-
I was playing basketball jumped for the rebound and landed with my foot inverted on a wallet that someone placed. I'm sure it is a trick in Streetball. I almost cried
That has to be one of the most asshole things I have ever heard of. Ranks up there with the sucker punch. If you want to hurt me, at least be man enough to earn it and fight me, don't be a punk.

Arabit, were brothers of the messed up ankles!

Shit gets a little stabby

Lucky guess really. I figure someone has to run that variable to zero eventually.

Heh, it actually is entirely a boring story behind this one

Tumor removed when I was 5. Fucker wasn't even malignant. See? Boring. I always tell chicks it was a knife fight and you should see the other guy

Broken leg from when I was 14. Double spiral fracture ( which shatters a lot of your bone mass, and generally only happens in younger undeveloped bones) of the tibia, and a straight fracture of the fibula. Saw a really good sports specialist and ended up with a plate and 11 screws as a permanent part of my leg. But after the surgery I just had the boot of the original cast with the front cut out, so I could keep it fastened with tensors, but take it off to stretch. As a result I was able to recover really well. I did the initial double spiral fracture doing a FS 270 over a hip skateboarding. The straight fracture of the fibula occurred when I had a rush of adrenaline and tried to stand up immediately after the incident, only to have the fibula snap and have my leg fold over immediately. I have a pretty serious muscle imbalance and hip displacement from favouring the injury that I am just starting to address now after 14 years of hard hard use since the injury. It isn't bad yet, but at 28 I have a persistent lower back ache that I live with, which I can't afford to let get worse.

Dan,
Welcome to the VFW
Never went through that type of break, but watched a friend get his leg crunched between a bull and outgate that required basically the same rod, pins, screws, etc. When they cut his boot off, his foot from lack of support rotated 180° the wrong direction, one of the most unsettling things I have seen ever. It may sound odd, but if you could get a physical therapy type of work out regimen going for your back, it would help not only with pain, but keeping you from wearing out your hip too. I have to take about a hour a day for mine, but the difference is major if I don't get it in. -
That would have been a great headline.
And jdl, thanks for the welcome. it was most definitely an unsettling thing to look at. I can't stand seeing injuries like that, unfortunately I support arsenal so ive had to watch my fair share of them over the last few years. I have started a excercise and chiro program to start getting better, it's tough to find the time some days, but it's motivating to hear of success from persistence in it.
