    Can you guys think of any seemingly minor injuries that are actually a lot worse than they seem?

    I jammed my middle finger recently playing ball. I think its actually my first time jamming that finger since I was like 15 years old. no big deal, right? just a jammed finger. Problem is I cannot bend it or put any weight on it for at least a couple weeks. Normally I can get around it by using the other fingers to compensate.

    Except when I'm wiping. My tissue holding finger formation uses my middle and ring finger to do the work while my index finger does the tissue spreading. it's an efficient and relatively hygenic motion that I've perfected over the years. I've had to alter the motion because of the injury to the middle finger. It is seriously one of the most annoying injuries I have ever had. Everytime I take a dump, I walk away feeling like it's not really that clean down there. Makes me feel just dirty in front of people.

    I got a splinter on the bottom of my foot like over a month ago and i still can't walk without shoes because i can't put pressure on it. I tried digging it out with tweezers and instead just kept ripping my skin up and made it worse. I'm tired of limping. Damn thing won't go away.

    I know the feeling. Its so seemingly small but it makes you want to rip up your skin to get it out

    Turf toe....doesn't sound like much but it always ends up in an NFL player missing like 6 weeks.

    It really sucks and the injections they use to help are no picnic either.

    I had a Terrence Jones injury once.

    Hit my funny-bone by just bending over to unlock my bike and hit the frame with my elbow. I had the regular funny-bone sensation, but more severe than usual. I had to sit down, felt like throwing up with extreme acute pain. It subsiding in about the normal time, but I had a numbness down my arm to my little fingers that didn't go away completely for like a year.

    I swear 80% of Hotballa's posts pertain to pooping. I simply cannot understand how a man in his 30s (presumably) has this much of an infatuation with taking a crap.

    Oh, and in terms of annoying injuries, getting a crick in your neck has to be top 5. The last one I had was a few months ago, and I couldn't turn my head to the left for like a week.

    Any sort of shoulder injury sucks. Doesn't have to be major. Just a slight tweak can make using your arms the rest of the day a huge pain.

    Nicely disguised "the technique behind cleaning your poop" thread. Just another poop thread in the hangout and an extension of the poop "stand or sit" wiping thread

    Must be a slow day at the washateria...

    Absolutely. I don't even know what I did to get this but my foot hurt for about 6 months. I remember when Francis got this and missed a good chunk of time, everyone thought he was a baby but now I understand.

    I have a tendency to get this. When I feel it starting, I get a towel and sit up in bed with my legs straight. I put the towel around the ball of my foot near the toes and use the towel to pull back on my foot. This stretches the muscle. I can usually prevent it getting bad by doing this in the morning and evening for a couple of weeks.

    My plantar fasciitis got so bad in the winter, some days I could barely put any weight on my foot. Felt so tender

    Things get worse after you turn 30 too. You begin to notice it takes longer for your body to heal from minor things. I burned my hand on our oven 3 months ago, just a little blister where I accidentally touched the hot rack...and I STILL have a red mark where I burned. When I was 25, it would have been gone in a week or two.

    I was playing on a playground with my nieces and I reached up to grab one on a "fort" play thing and tweaked my shoulder a little bit. Four months later it still hurts a little when I wake up.

    Anything to do with the teeth, (inner) ears, back, feet, shoulders, hips, or back usually sucks nards.
