Most of my notable injuries are martial arts related.
I hyper-extended my right-thumb during Judo practice in fall 2014. It was swollen and painful for weeks, I lost pinch strength for months, and now got back my full range of motion this summer.
I was thrown once by a black belt in my Judo club with harai-goshi (type of hip-throw) and injured my tail-bone for week. It was his signature move that he could throw fast and my break-fall was odd, which resulted in me landing square on my ass.
Pretty sure I fractured my heel; never got it x-rayed though. The room I practice Judo in has pads for grappling lining the walls and floors. Well, I took Taekwondo when I was younger and decided it would be wise to practice a spinning heel-kick on the padded wall. I ended up kicking through the pad and hit the cinderblock wall on the other side. My heel hurt for 4 months straight, but I still practiced Judo through the pain.
Black eye from landing on my opponent's knee face-first when I used a take-down on him.
