[The Black Sheep]

Anyone have any weird stories about hurting themselves and not realizing it until later?

I fell asleep with a heating pad on my feet once and woke up with a burn blister the size of a coke can on my leg. On a couple occassions I've bumped into a wall or something and found bruises the next day.

And my ankle tattoo was painless!

Heating pad incident more than once, broke my finger, dislocated my shoulder more than once, that thing just pops out whenever it feels like it. Hmmmmmm I didn't find out until after my accident that I only have one kidney

I'm dealing with a few right now. Pressure sore on my arse, cut up my heals on my footplate, and got 3 burns on my legs from a hot dish from the microwave. I'm a clumbsy dumbass

Just small bruises and scratches that I can NEVER trace the origin of.
It's always, "how the hell did THAT get there?"

As I cannot feel pain in my left foot, I was completely unaware of the drawing pin embedded in it for an entire day, though I did have extra nerve pain around my knee. I even did ten minutes on the treadmill with it.

Does having two hooks from a fishing lure embedded in your belly, count??? Found it at the picnic after the fishing trip.
Thank heavons for Leatherman.... For those who don't know what they are,, think swiss army knife with a large pair of pliers,, American style.

It was interesting watching my friend cut off the barbs and pull the hook free. Then we both went to the buffet line.

Checked my ass yesterday and I've got what looks and feels like a blood blister there. How the hell did that happen? And is it likely to be just a blood blister or have other people had that as something else? On the plus side, bed rest meant I finally finished the book I was reading.....

I don't know guido, could be the beginning of a pressure sore. I'd have it checked out ASAP.

I broke both my legs without knowing. After about three hours my one knee swelled up and I thought that I just pulled something. It wasn't until I went to bed that I knew something was very very wrong...

countless other scrapes scratches bruises... luckily, my body knows when it's been burned and I can deal with it quickly. Doesn't help when you're clumsy dumb ass and dump a mug of boiling water on yourself though...

Heres a mystery
Leg damage we know and understand .. but
On 2 occasions now I have broken my fingers
Without knowing it until somebody says ...
My damage is in the Lumber region with patches of dead chord along it
Maybe I realy am daft and uncensible

I often find bruises,

I have got this pain in my knee, i don't have any feeling in myleg so touching it doesn't hurt, but if i try and put weight through it its excruciating, and it crunches when i bend it. Went to A & E, and was told it wsa ok, probably arthritis (im 38) and i said this pain came on suddenly but that didnt matter.
