Every Morning I wake up
soon as My feet hit the floor My left Ankle goes *Snap*
My right Achilles goes *CRACKLE*
and my left knee goes *POP*
I walk to the bathroom. my right knee *Pops* twice.
I have to move my left leg side to side to get my knee to loosen up sound liek someone Poppin a gang of those bubble wrap shipping things. .

what is/was your sport and what are your injuries and do the injuries still effect you?

Me:
Left knee dislocation/torn ACL/MCL/PCL (jump cut/change of direction somethin awful

)
Broken Right Ankle (tackled from behind, you could actually hear me scream on the Game Film when that happened

)
Broken Hand (smashed on a stiff arm between helmets)
Broken Nose (Helmet smashed down)
Seperated right shoulder ( Used to use QB shoulder pads my 1st 2 yrs in HS

)
Broken Big Toe Right foot - Toe Nail GONE!

My ankles and knees crack all the time.
A little fluid on my ankle I assume is sports related.

I played basketball seriously since 5th grade and never had a real serious injury

. The worst I had was probably hurting my hip and not being able to walk right for a month during the summer. And my feet are

.

All good though. Basketball > injuries.

 

[Los Angeles]

I feel you Gunna.

Sport:
4yrs of HS Football, 2yrs of HS Basketball, Snowboarding

Injuries:
Right & Left Chronic Dislocations of my shoulders
I now have a torn rotator cuff on my left shoulder

2x Torn Meniscus on my left knee (2 surgeries)
1x Torn ACL on right knee (1 surgery)

The crepitus that's settling in on my knees (bone on bone) is very irritating.

 

[carlos tevez]

I play sports to be healthy and have fun, not to be crippled when I'm 25

 

[wraith aka invincible]

i tore my adductor longus on both legs running a 200
and this works in conjuction perfectly with an older injury
i unraveled my spermatic cord during deadlifts a few years back
i can poke the side of my leg and my testes jump

everyonce in a while i'll get minor testicular torsion but i can fix those myself
hopefully i'll end up with a self release instead of a tenotomy

Come and holla at me in Miami when you need a physical therapist when you hit like 35-40.

I've done rotations for the Dolphins and damn, these dudes get pumped with Cortizone shots like no other. Sad thing is that the Cortizone only blocks thepain temporarily. Ex players came through on the regular driving cars $100k and couldn't get out of them without help.

 

[DeadsetAce]

- broken nose

but no ill effects from those injuries yet *knocks on wood*

i still snowboard and play hockey

 

[no vert]

I played 4 years of high school football,my bad praticed for 4 years. The only injury i had was to my ego..On the real i feel bad for yall cats with all ofthis pain ,small price to pay i guess.I betcha any amount of money yall cats on here would play through an injury,if getting paid millions. Cause yall did itfor the love of the game.

 

[breakinyourankles]

Went up for a block and tried to avoid a teammate going up as well and landed awkwardly. Tore my MCL in my right leg.
Don't even know why I went up for a block on a dude two heads taller than me

Those Dwyane Wade block highlights got to me

 

[ballinboykz]

4 years of HS football and basketball, and only one major injury; level three ankle sprain...

3 years after, ive got loose bodies in my ankle, and every second day it locks up from just walking. cracks all the time.

 

[gangsta207therevolution]

Gunna you must have not liked pain.....

I honestly dont notice all my pain, but.......... Playing Bball

I have torn my MCL in both knees, can pop my shoulder out at will and broke the 4th metatarsus.

Man my knees hurt so bad in winter I wear knee braces to keep them warm. You lucky Gunna you live in Florida.

 

[youngcfromthad]

- Shoulder still cracks from time to time. Played Pitcher and outfield in baseball and QB in football. Separated it diving into the end zone.

- Knee MCL....only hurts when i hoop doesn't when i play any other sport.

I do feel like im going to break down once i take a long time away from playing a sport again.

 

[kiddin like jason]

Major injuries (I think we've all had our share of ankle sprains and what have you):

- Broken right wrist - Dunking. Made myself horizontal in mid-air from swinging off the rim and put my hand down to break my fall.

- Broken right ankle - Trying to block a breakaway layup. Feet got tangled with the other dude's and he fell on my ankle during mid-tangle (he was hefty).We were playing at a court that was "closed", so I had to climb a fence to get out, and I walked home.

- Torn right lateral meniscus - Playing football. Dove to make a catch, landed awkwardly. The part of my meniscus that tore got caught in my joint, so my kneewas permanently locked in a bent position for about two weeks. I couldn't get an MRI or anything right away because they couldn't strap my knee down.

None of them occurred in meaningful games.

I feel the effects of the knee injury essentially every day because of the arthritis. It pops and creaks on demand. Same with my ankle.

 

[kwestmajik]

Basketball, got bridged going up for a lay up.

My back is so messed up I couldn't play in college.

 

[Deleted member 38182]

I played volleyball in HS and briefly in college.
I broke my right ankle twice, (once in a volleyball game, another in a rec basketball game in the middle of my volleyball season

)
every morning when I wake up, my right ankle is swollen like i just sprained it (minus the color). I need to rotate it and stretch it out for a good 5-10minutes before I can get to walking without a limp.

My knees are banged up I tore my meniscus in my left knee from just wear and tear of volleyball.
Whenever I do anything sports-related (mainly basketball, I mean who plays pick-up volleyball

), i need to wear full on knee braces and warmup/stretch. Ifeel so damn old....but I'm like 2 years removed from HS

Dang ya'll had it bad. I never played on a team but I once banged heads with this dude playing football and had a goose egg for a week
