Re: What's the worst sports related injury you've ever had?

I tore my ACL and had a complex meniscus tear in my right knee playing football with a group of friends. I waited six years before finally getting surgery. The doctor trimmed the meniscus (60%) but said the ACL partially healed itself and he thought it would be good enough if I didn't do anything extremely reckless. He was wrong. Running around the bases in softball will occasionally result in a "pop" (knee) leading to a "splat" (me).

I also broke my collarbone playing flag football in Colorado. About 10 degrees with 3-4 inches of snow on the ground. I went out for a pass, the ball was overthrown and I stretched out for it. After realizing I couldn't catch it, I decided to dive and roll, come up and head back to the huddle. No biggie, I did many times before. When I dove I basically drove my shoulder straight into the ground, heard a snap and a white flash of light went off in my head. The funny thing was I was wearing like 4 layers of clothing so the shoulder felt stiff but I guess due to the immobilty it didn't hurt so bad or feel broken. So, the next play I ran an inside route. The ball was high. I lifted my arms up and pain just shot right through my shoulder.
