The 1st one, arm, took me out of my first year of Little League. I think that was the one that upset me the most. I guess I was about 55 when I shattered my left ankle. The ankle still hurts, especially just before a good rain.
The broken right ring finger I’d call the strangest. I had gone on a walk, for my health. The walk was almost done and I was in the street in front of my house. I carelessly stepped on a pine cone and I was horizontal on street in pain, instantly.
I was in so much pain I couldn’t even sit up. Finally I recovered a little and started brushing the gravel off my sore hands when I noticed my finger was pointed the wrong way.
When the damage report came in, I broke my one knuckle and dislocated another. Ironically, the one I broke is fine now. The one I dislocated will hardly bend after 6 or 7 years.
Important note. I had an enlarged parathyroid causing low calcium in my bones. Had I had it removed years earlier, I very likely would not have broken the ankle and finger, or at least not as badly. At least this is what I was told. Also, the high calcium in my blood led to kidney stones and a lot of pain. For this reason, I would strongly suggest checking calcium level regularly as I have found this to be a common problem. If you look up the parathyroid, you will see that when it is enlarged, it can cause a wide range of symptoms. Also, it is a easy, relatively painless and inexpensive check.
