Broke my foot aged 10 jumping off a wall . Walked home from it , about a mile and a half , seemed ok , a few hours later in agony . Can't recall which leg i had the plaster on .
Then , aged 38 , a comedy fall on the ice when we had a lot of snow Xmas 2010 . Broke the fall with my arm to avoid landing flat on my back . Didn't think i'd broken my arm though , as though it was painful i always thought an arm break would be screaming agony .
Did not get it looked at for over 2 weeks , even though i could nowhere near straighten it and still sullenly painful . Doctor had a look , said ' well it's not broken but we'll do an x ray anyway ' . Came back 'actually it is broken'

Similar story with my left arm, fell on it playing football on Sunday morning, but probably still too p1ssed to notice the pain.
I went to the doctors on Tuesday and he said it was just badly bruised so I carried on for a couple of months unable to do much with my left arm, even changing gear with my right hand. In the end I went back to the doctors and he sent me for an x-ray. When he got the result back he called my home to find out where I was and came to the park where I was playing football to tell me my arm was broken. Spent a couple of months doing rehab as my shoulder muscle had wasted away due to lack of use but the bone had almost healed itself. Also a collar bone when I was about eight. |

Multiple fingers, ankle, wrist, hand three times, couple of toes and my elbow. The latter was comfortably the most painful; the rest were just annoying. I'm not even a clumsy person.

I broke 2 ribs playing rugby, that was distressing enough in itself but I suffer from hayfever and get huge sneezing fits, sometimes upto 15 at a time which literally brought tears to my eyes when I got an outburst. Broken a few toes and have currently got a broken thumb!

When I was at primary school there was a kid who had about 3 leg breaks and 5 broken arms. Used to fall out of trees and random stuff like that and never learn |

Nose three times, 1. Did'nt lift my desk lid past the point of balance 2. Punched 3. Head butted
 Also a couple of ribs from getting a kicking. Used to like tear up in my youth but it would appear I wasn't very good at it  |

Arm - As a kid.
Fingers - several times, but the most stupid was when I tried to punch a breeze block in half. toes - Football. Jaw - The last night of a lads holiday in Cyprus. I was scrapping with a mate, and as we fell to the floor, my jaw took all our wait on a curb. The flight home wasn't much fun. Nose - At least twice, and always by some fookers fist! I'm pretty sure I've broken a rib or two as well, but I've never had them checked. As others have said it was agony for weeks. |

Scaphoid fracture - one of the bones in the wrist. Fell off my bike on the day I left school - didn't get the cast off until 3mths later on the day I started work.
Once had a few days off with a broken flask  |

By:
Toes on both feet, nose 4 times, eye socket, cheek bone, collar bone, couple of fingers, ribs x 3, and most painful of all, sternum. (seat belt injury, which saved me going through the windscreen!) Sternum took months for the pain to go away, it was agony.

No Bones broke, I had a my Mum close the door on my hand whilst my finger was still in it. She had to go to work so put a plaster on it, to this day the nail grows the wrong way. So if you look at your fingers the nail grows level or with an upturn, on my finger it grows with an overturn with another nail trying to cover it after 40 years I am used to it. Also had a Fork Lift drive over my foot, no broken bones only a blood blister under my big toe. I went to A & E and a Nurse got a Safety Clip straightened it out heated it with her Cigarette Lighter and burned a hole in my Toe Nail to relive the pressure. Back at work the next day in a pair of Slippers.
