    I've never had a broken bone, or surgery. I consider myself quite lucky.

    I had my tonsils removed when I was 7.

    Yeah. In 2008 I decided to go on a trampoline with my overweight friend. I ended up being thrown off and I braced the fall with my left wrist and it both broke and twisted out of alignment. I assumed it was just a sprain, bandaged it up and went to bed where a girl laid on it all night, basically. Then I got back home late the next day where my dad stated "that shit is swollen" but it was too late to go to the hospital, so I ended up going there 48 hours after the incident. It was a pain since it had also twisted out of alignment. A nurse had to literally grab my hand and then lean backwards, putting all her weight into pulling my arm straight out as they put the cast on me.

    Also, when I was very little, my sister accidentally dislocated my arm.

    I've had a cist removed from my throat (which was not a big deal kind of surgery) when I was four and have been given stitches on the palm of my hand (without anesthesia, thanks to my cruel mother) when I was eight, but have never broken a bone.

    I've removed my toenail once, and since the hospitial considers sticking a tube down your nose and throat a surgery, that too. Thankfully nothing else.

    I broke my thumb and had surgery. I crashed when I was skiing. At the emergency room they told me I had broken my thumb metacarpal in 3 parts and split the tendon. I got a screw and two metal sticks to keep the bones in place while healing, they removed the sticks but the screw is still there. My father is a doctor and he managed to get in contact with one of the best hand surgeons in Sweden, so my thumb is about as awesome as it could possibly be considering what it went through. I'm very fortunate looking at it that way! :slight_smile: Now I also have this harry potter like lighting scar on my thumb which is pretty cool looking.

    Broke an ankle, had two stress fractures (at the same time) in the other leg, may or may not have cracked a collarbone and a rib, and had my wisdom teeth out.

    Will more than likely have some sort of butt or gut related surgery during my lifetime thanks to Crohn's, but it hasn't happened yet.

    I voted for I've never broken a bone nor had surgery, but that is not what I meant to vote for. When I was six I was running under the bleachers at the high school during a basketball game with friends. We used to play under the bleachers. I tripped on one of the metal bars and fell, and my hand slammed into a large chunk of glass the size of the palm of my hand. I screamed, and went to show my parents. The glass cut so deep my bone was sticking out. My parents rushed me to the hospital where they stitched it up.

    Too many surgeries for such a young guy. I've broken two fingers, one of which had to be operated on, I broke my ankle and had to get it pinned, I broke my arm and had to get that operated on and worst of all, I tore all the ligaments in my right knee and had to have a 3 hour operation to get them repaired. Arthritis is guaranteed for me when im older. I commit 100% on the sports field, much to my bodies dismay

    The only surgery I've got is circumcision.

    Thankfully, no broken bones (yet; I'm pretty clumsy). If tooth extractions count, I have had quite a few of those, the latest being the removal of three wisdom teeth. I've also had laser eye surgery done on both eyes.

    Yes I've broken multiple bones and I've have surgery several times.

    Happy days :slight_smile:
