Luckily only my upper arm once. Note to self: If you have to dismount a horse unwillingly, make sure there's no wall in the way.
Tendons are another story, unfortunately. Frankly, I'd rather break another bone than have to worry about any tendon of mine ever again. At least a broken bone mends and after a few weeks that's that.

Can you believe that I have never had any broken bones?

Happy to say I've never broken one.

I've never broken a bone, but when I was three I decided I would jump on some pillows around a glass table on a giant bouncy ball. (I honestly don't know what on Middle Earth I was thinking, but hey! I was only 3) When I was going around the corner of the table, I slipped, and my face hit the corner and cut it open about an inch away from my eye... then I had to go to the hospital and get stitches. Today I still enjoy doing odd-ish things like that, but I at least use common sense now and haven't gotten badly injured since then. lol

Haven't broken a single bone. The only reason I want to break one is to know how it feels, so if I ever have to help someone out that has just broke one and it's not one of the obvious ones (like bone almost popping out of the skin) I would have a better idea about what it feels like. So I would be better suited to help. But I guess learning about it would be good too....

I haven't broken any bones either, but I think I may have fracture my big toe (last Dec.?) I was running barefoot on the blacktop and when I tried to slow down I put my weight down on my toe when it was bent. The top of it got scraped and I couldn't really put much weight on it for a while. It hurts worse than normal whenever I stub that toe now.

Haven't broken any. But apparently my dad dislocated my arm once and I went around telling everyone that he broke it... funny how I don't remember that

I dislocated my Self-Defense Teacher's finger when I was getting out of a bear hug...when we saw him later on he said it swelled up pretty bad. I really wasn't trying to...

Never had a broken bone in my body. And I hope I don't have to!

Never. But I dislocated my shoulder once, jumping off a slide. One of those swirly ones. In my defense, Ethelynn Greenleaf did it and she was absolutly fine! So when my turn came, I jumped and fell on my side, and out popped the shoulder. Hence, Rodwen decided not to mimick out stunts. I was six, Ethelynn was eight, and Rodwen was four. I really am an exceptionally bright child!

My bones are all unbroken

Actually, I don't know if this counts, but part of my knee cap is chipped off, no idea how it happened, but I had to do physical therapy for a year. We still don't know if my knee's back to normal...

Actually, i did mess it up a couple of weeks ago, and I couldn't put my weight on my leg, but it went away within a day or two.. the physical therapy people never did a follow-up so i guess i'll never know... i still have my knee brace that I was supposed to use in gym class and softball and all that, but I only use it now when it's hurting me.

UPDATE:

At our church picnic today, I was running in a bouncehouse obstacle course with one of my babysitting chardes. The only reason I was allowed in was becasue I was under the height requirement, and,wellll...it seemed like fun! But the girl I was in with pulled back one of those long tube cylinder things, and let it go at me as I tried to run by. As a result, I flew backward and landed very awkwardly on my hand. When I got out of there, I noticed that my finger was NUMB. But I didnt say anything. Then on the ride home, it started to hurt, and I looked at it, and it was twisted a bit to the left. (this was my pointer finger in my left hand) Now its a bit swollen, and it doesent hurt near as bad, so I think it's safe to assume I sprained it. Im just going to let it heal naturally, as the only thing I use that finger for is my violin, and I can always shift up.

So yeah. I know can say i sprained my finger in a bouncehouse! Whoo!

Please findemaxam, you need to have that looked at. It's possible you broke something and if you don't have it splinted properly it could heal wrong. Not so good at your age (well any age actually, but worse when you're still growing). This is an RN speaking here and a retired Navy Corpsman, to boot.

I had my Health and Safety teacher in school check it out, and she said it was already damaged before I hit it, for some reason. She said that the was it was turned was a very odd way to damage it and asked me if I had had issues with my hands before, and I said no. But then I realized that I had tendonitis, and jamming (not broken after all ) my finger had triggered a flare up. So at least I don need to worry about that anymore.

So far I've had a dislocated elbow at three years, a shattered tibia (shin bone, basically) at twelve and probably a few broken fingers or toes...

Bones, none. But at 59, I notice more and more that diverse cartilages, ligaments and tendons are wearing out *ouch*.
