This one isn't the worst but it's kind of funny. One night I woke up and had to pee real bad. On my way to the bathroom I was very groggy and it was very dark and I stubbed my toe on the couch and broke my toe. I heard it snap and it woke me up in a hurry. That was when I was training martial arts almost every day so it stayed broken for almost a year because of the kicking. That one was very annoying.
Nothing too serious, just a torn shoulder muscle taking a bodycheck playing ice hockey. Pretty fortunate all things considered with all the sports I've played in my life.
It was either when my skull almost got cracked open from someone letting go of a baseball bat while they were playing baseball and I was watching near by and it hit me or when I broke my small toe. Probably the first one.
Three bruised ribs and a bruised lung. Took about 6 months to fully recover. Was flat track racing and high sided coming out of turn 4. Went to hospital, but they just ran X-rays and I had no life threatening stuff. Woke up the next morning and literally couldn't bend my upper body. Good times.
I have many similar injuries. I don't know how many times I have high sided my self to the moon racing superbikes. I'm actually lucky so far to have only broken both my wrists and shattered my right shoulder.
The worst crash was at Stratotech park in Edmonton. Got pushed out wide on the entry of T1 out onto the grass. Superbikes don't brake so well on grass and I hit the top half of the airfence, bottom half of the railway ties at over 120km/h with a straight body check after jumping off the bike. Hit the airfence/wall dead on and then the ground pretty hard. The MOST pain I have ever experienced right after that. My entire body was bruised and I thought all my limbs were exploding...
Was in the hospital for a week with some pretty bad internal bleeding and swelling all over Went through a long surgery on my shoulder to fix up lots of little pieces. Initially they told me I would need to have my shoulder replaced with some mettle bits, but it was all good and it is back up to 95% (will never be 100%, but 95% is good enough).
Slipped disc in my lower back was (is) probably the worst. It's like having a constant gnawing/stabbing pain in my lower back for the last six years. I've elected to not have surgery on it unless it gets worse and threatens my life. It's mostly just an exercise in pain management now; it doesn't affect my ability to complete every day physical tasks.
Last month i broke my 5th metatarsal. Its pretty bad i had to get a 4' plate grafted to the bone and 7 screws in it. The graft is permanent unless i specifically ask to get it removed. The scar is basically my entire foot long, and I am still in a cast for 3 more weeks.
A few years back, I was working a ranch putting in a new fence with T-postes using a T-post driver. The one I had weighed around 48 pounds of steel. My friend and I were taking turns hammering in the foul beats till we got near a tree. We were trying to sink them fast as the day was getting hot. I started in on the T-poste and must hit a tree root cause it bounced hard and sent the driver up really fast. The edge of the T-poste caught the metal tine of the poste near the top and forced the driver down on the top of my head at high speed. Was not wearing a hard hat cause I have needed one doing ranch work. The worse part was I not K.O.'d and had severe head trauma. Results were as follows: My sinuses in the middle of my skull exploded creating massive blood drain down my throat, my skull has a dent in it, Bones in the skull matrix around the nose where squished(?), and I had a nasty concussion (could not stand up without puking or falling immediately). The Docs and EMS thought I had cracked my skull and neck, but X-rays said no. The most irritating part of the recovery was that I could not stand high Bass of radio in the car or fire guns for 8 months. The concussion of the sound made my nasal area hurt, BAD. The bonus was that my usual runny nose was not there for 9 months till the sinus cavity re-covered.
I now wear a hard hat while working on the fence or anything using tools heavier than a napkin.
It was worse than taking a grazing shot from .22 mag in the back of my head when I was about 12.
motorycle accident april 24th this year,16 stitches to my ankle,no bone injury(thank god) sit out for work almost 3 weeks,you have to appreciate everything you have in life,the little things especially counts

Broken metatarsal forcing me to drop a semesters worth of classes (my major required the use of feet, haha)
Pulled gracilis (the "groin) that locked up my leg essentially pulling my right semitendinosis (hamstring) and peroneals down to my dorsal fascia of the top of my foot. I would certainly not have minded a broken foot instead.
Pinched right nerve in my back from last december with effects lasting through march. Work turned off the hot water one day and I didn't know and my whole arm just went numb and dead cause cold water+pinched nerve=bad news. I was a bit worried.
Pulled iliocostalis. Couldn't take a full breath for two months.
Other injuries don't compare. I did step on a toothpick when I was 9 and it broke and went straight thru my sock and stuck in my foot. No blood, air tight. That was a fun ER visit.
Shattered hand on an inside curve playing baseball..
Tripped on an open knife a year later at the same exact spot I broke my hand and got to see my snowy white bones..
Worse of all would probably be getting hit in the head by a 12 pound shotput at track practice. I was marking lines when a giant Samoan entered the ring backwards and threw without checking for people. Knocked me out cold and got to take a spin in da amberlamps.
Was remodeling my basement apartment about five years ago.
I had these big massive cement sheets that you lay down and then place tile over; I was carrying them down two sheets at a time, but the ceiling was rather low in the stairwell, which was also fairly narrow. The sheet wedged into the ceiling at the top, and at the bottom it caught the end of my boot and essentially wedged it to the step. I lost my bearings and fell down about half the flight of the stairs. As I did, my foot, which was caught, was wrenched completely around. by the time I reached the base of the stairwell my foot was pointing the other direction. Almost instinctively I turned it back around, which was a huge mistake and nearly sent me into shock. My landlord, who had been helping me, came down and looked and said "Maybe it isn't broken..."
Right.
Most of the bones in my ankle were completely shattered, and I walk with a slight limp now.
Once in school, another kid hit me in the head so hard that I still do not remember that day. Woke up in the hospital without knowing how I got there or what happened after I went to bed the previous night. That was 15 years ago and it still spooks me that kind of thing can happen to your brain.
The first I lost my memory for about 18 hours and was groggy for maybe 24. No lasting damage that I know of and I was only unconscious for a few seconds (or so my friends tell me). That was done while biking - and I was wearing my helmet! Helmets save lives, kiddos.
The second I barely lost my memory at all, but the damage was far worse. I was unconscious for a few hours, woke up in hospital in a neck brace and was still woozy 48 hours later. Resulted in permanent loss of my sense of smell and probably minor adverse effects to my memory, but that's harder to prove.

I'm pretty sure I'd be a genius if it I hadn't been concussed so often as a kid.
Playing Superman over the back of a chair, Some kid throwing a rock, etc.
Yeah, but it's those experiences that shape us! If you never got hurt as child, you didn't really have a childhood.
Maybe I'm the worst parent ever, but I happily let kids hurt themselves doing stupid stuff. I do my best to explain what the risks are, but if they still choose to jump their bike off a four foot wall (and end up going over the handlebars and smashing their face into the ground), all the power to 'em! I'll be nearby with a bandaid ready.
I pulled my shoulder out of socket trying to lift a solid oak hope chest. It sounds like someone walking on gravel if I rotate it nice and slow. Yeesh.

I will never forget have to move two solid wood dressers (with the drawers firmly inside, that had to weight around 2-300lbs each, into my buddy's townhouse.
I agree. We should all only play g/x decks because they are the most objectively fun and anyone who disagrees does not know the truth about EDH. Everyone should just play their decks because interaction beyond high fiving about how many land are in play is unfun and equivalent to casting Stasis while kicking puppies. I for one will never play with anyone who casts tutors, removal spells, blue cards, things I arbitrarily decide I don't like but will probably cast myself later.

I jerked my hand away, flexed it, and went "uh oh" when I could see THROUGH my hand.
The stuff to flush the wound at the hospital the doctor injected made it feel like the inside of my hand was on fire, that hurt worse than the injury.

Walking and sitting were terrible 4 months after that. Ugh.

I need lots of Massage. The surrounding muscles have picked up the slack and get over worked quite often.
