"sporting injuries"

has anyone ever torn a muscle or cracked a bone??

i'm fairly sure i've done one or the other (more than likely the muscle) and i was wondering if anyone knew how long they take to heal?
because i did this about 2 weeks ago and it still hurts. If it persists then i'll go to the doctors, but wanted to see if anyone knew anything that could help before i did that...

I've picked up a fair few knee injuries, because I never warm up and because of a hereditary knee problem. The worst one happened when I was 11- I went to pick up a football after someone had knocked it out for a goal-kick. I ended up sliding down a bank, and knocking my right knee into a rather large rock. I then made it worse by coming back into the game a few minutes later and trying a few ill-advised slide tackles.

I unfortunately have a habit of causing sports injuries to other people- I've broken someone's finger in a football match and accidently swung a hockey stick in some poor mug's face. Despite the fact I basically knocked out two of his teeth, he saw the funny side. Plus my aggressive style of playing football has resulted in several people getting pretty nasty bruising.

I broke my Kneecap last year, it hurt a lot!! I couldn't do sport for 5 months and had to have wires in my knee.

What sport is it anyway?

well, Doc rules: muscle problem, so just take anti-imflammatories, strap it up and let it heal. pleased to hear it wasn't a bone fracture or anything though.

i'll be back to business next wedensday i imagine, BOOM! :)

and farking typical, i make the appointment yesterday and today it feels better anyways!!

Depends how much you value your life.

I suppose the worst sporting injury is death.

Pfft, you woman.
Oh, wait.

I've bruised a bone, if that counts.. :p
That took 5/6 months to stop hurting.. Unless it was some other problem. I'd say it was a sporting injury, though. Skiing down the stairs or something? :)
