I'll have to get a video of me popping my shoulder out of joint and back in then...

I've actually had people vomit after seeing me do it.

Another annoying injury was caused by falling off a bolting horse, it was scared by some dogs. Landed on my back, pain caused muscles to re-deploy movements to avoid pain which resulted in overdeveloped muscles in some places and underdeveloped muscles in others. Now means i often have a sore back.

Does it help you get out of straightjackets, a la Martin Riggs?

I have a pronounced curve of the spine too, doctor claims it's because I had a massive growth spurt in the space of a year, and the muscles and whatnot around the spine weren't strong enough. Means I'm susceptible to back pains in the lower back. Takes me ages to adjust a chair to stop it. Find it fairly easy to deal with when the aches start though: Sleep 1 night on the floor. I sleep on my back and when I wake up my aches are gone for a while.

I don't really have one, but my dad has no joints in his big toes. Not so much an 'injury', but it makes him a bit of a freak.

I think I have a slightly short left quad. It sometimes feels 'odd' and can almost lock up when walking downstairs/hills slowly. If I stretch it it usually feels fine. Other than that I think I broke my left middle finger when I was 14 playing Laser Quest. I still can't crack the second joint like the rest of my finger joints.

Also, not really annoying as it doesn't bother me but apparently I have a scar on my eyeball from when it got scratched as a kid. That hurt.

That makes me want to hide in a corner and sob quietly. Hate anything like that!

Oh, I forgot about the scar on my head and right eye! I tripped when running in the house when I was about 2 1/2 and cracked my head open on the corner of the lounge door. In the process I knackered a muscle in my right eye which required microsurgery when I was about 4.

For about a year I had to wear an eye patch over my left eye to force my right eye to do some work. I got bored of playing pirates!

That's the reason why I wear glasses and to some extent why I started going grey.

When Josh got chicken pox as a baby, he got a pock on his eye. Ewww!

Also one of the scar on the eyeball lot

Although in my case, it does affect my vision slightly (I can see the mark) and I have desensitised nerves on that eye meaning it can be poked without me noticing as much as with the other eye

That was thanks to a kid that bullied me at school who shoved me into a stonewall, lovely!

Nothing else that exciting.
I've got a dodgy shoulder from damaging it a few years ago and then damaging it again last year in a car accident. According to the physio, it's where my shoulder blade's become detached from the rest of me meaning it sticks out more than it should. Some days it's alright, just depends what I've been doing. Mainly affects me if I have to sit at a desk for extended periods of time (which is why I only ever use a laptop now) and if I have to do any form of lifting, which is the irritating one.
