I broke my wrist rollerblading when I was 14. I didn't even fall super crazy or anything; I just got tripped up on a rock getting stuck in my wheel and fell forward while not moving very fast. Even after it healed, I didn't really skate anymore and every now and then to this day, I feel it hurting like it was freshly broken for a moment or two on random occasions.
I had also taken a few tumbles directly onto my knees without sustaining lasting injuries, but I do recall a doctor telling me if I took a fall or two like I had for one time when I thought I broke something that I may need surgery because there was an issue with the cartilage in both my knees.
It wasn't until a few years later while playing racket ball that I pivoted to hit the ball and just felt something pop and hurt like hell in my knee that another doctor said I had, if I am remembering the name correctly, Ozgood Slater's and a deficiency of cartilage in my knees so things that normally aren't supposed to rub together were rubbing together, causing inflammation and pain in the area. I still struggle with this and some days my knees just hurt like fucking hell.
I was rear ended in my 20's while at stop light and got whiplash. Neck is constantly sore from that. Doctor told me it never really heals and just to do stretches. And I have carpal tunnel from shitty posture and playing games.
"Answers to the name of Lucky."
I started reading it back to check for errors and even I was like "damn. I am fucked up."
