Ran into a wall at high speed but no fracture 💪

While playing a sport on a rooftop turf I was running on full speed then I realised there's a wall when I was hardly 1 feet away. So, I pulled my right arm in front of me to save myself. All the pressure was absorbed by my elbow which pained like hell.

When I went for an X Ray, the doctor was surprised because he expected some breaks but my strong bones surprised him.

After 2 weeks of rest for my weak muscles, I'm back to playing sports and going to the gym.

I want to share about my favorite sport. I’ve been doing it for a good 6 years++.

Last year, I dislocated my shoulder trying to grab a hold. Xray - no fracture. MRI - labrum tear

This year, I slipped 4m high while standing on a foothold and landed badly on my ankle. Xray - no fracture. MRI - ligaments tear (during surgery they needed to drill on the bones though to put some metal, the surgery apparently took a while)

Bouldering strengthens your bones and high impact activity increases its density.

In my defense they did break it under anesthesia, my bones were fine before.

It was close...

A couple of weeks ago I almost turned into a BBB. Inspired by our friend, the soccer player, let me tell you what tragedy befell my finger.

It was a beautiful fall day so I took my dog to the lake, just as I had done countless times before. After about 5 miles, he got the zoomies and started dashing about. The moron ran towards me but instead of changing direction at the last second, as he usually does and as any sane creature would, he just crashed into me.

I put up my hands in front of my knees to protect them. Even though my bones are strong and no giant could even grind them into bread, my cartilage is flawed and basically... gone. So I had to protect my knees. When I put my hands in front of me, my foolish dog crashed into them and popped my thumb back. The pain was outstanding. The sound with which my thumb bent back will remain forever pasted into the album of my memory.

Upset and defeated, I simply put my right hand in a makeshift sling since the throbbing pain was too much if it hung down, and I went home. The next day my thumb was bruised and swollen.

I suspected a fracture, I thought about how I would need to leave this sub. But, alas, I could not go into town for an x-ray since I could not drive with just one hand. Days passed, I learned to brush my teeth with my left hand. I discovered scissors don't work unless you use your right.

I was becoming desperate and wondering which neighbor to burden with my fragility, as I needed to be driven into town to receive an x-ray. Well, to my surprise, a few days after the incident my thumb felt better. The swelling was still visible but the improvement was unmistakable. And, indeed, about ten days in, my thumb was back to almost normal. I drove, I cooked, I used the scissors. All is well. But let me tell you, comrades, it was close. The shame I felt! I say! The shame! The shame of having been injured in such an absurd way!
