Twisted Testicles.
Easy! Just getting over it. Broken ankle, collarbone, sturnum, 12 ribs and bruised lungs. All in one shot. Hadn't broken anything before that. Rolled ankle was my worst beforehand.

I have an iatrogenic injury.
It gives me chronic pain, daily. As well pin and needles, twitching, hypoglycemia. Its lead to a number of serious and potentially fatal issues.

Jeez, what was botched?
Personally, Broken hip sucked, Done your typical ACL/PCL but nothing more sheer painful then the hip.

Did some bad damage to my achilles as a teenager
Never got it looked at, treated it basically as a sprained ankle and couldnt walk for weeks before I eventually could limp and then a couple months later was relatively back to normal
For the first week I expected it to be back to normal each morning I woke up, so I would hop around the house all day on one leg, it was a massive pain in the ass, I couldnt put a fragment of pressure on it. Had to lean against the wall when pissing because my arms were so tired from holding on to benches etc to balance. It was messy.
Eventually got crutches but still never got it looked at, hobbled on crutches for a fair while until it was strong enough to walk
Not the most painful, but the hardest to deal with by a long way

I was in the orthopedic section of the hospital. The other people in the room were old people with broken hips. My pain was pretty bad but I felt for them. Seemed like a terrible thing to go through. A couple had been there for a month or so.
Crushed (and subsequently amputated) left index finger and fractured left middle finger in 12 places. 6 months of physio to get my finger strength back. Accident involving my left hand getting crushed in a metal press.

So the people that ordered the pizza got a little bit of extra meat ?
Only broken bone is my nose which wasn't too bad, just gave me a massive headache for a week.
Worst is probably my shoulder, fell down the stairs in September 2013 and it still isn't fully recovered. Seemed like a rotator cuff tear at first but scans never confirmed it, it got better through cortisone then came back this year and eventually cortisone fixed it up again. Think it'll be a bit of a recurrent thing, no idea if it'll ever be painless.

Collarbone during a BMX meet.
Broken leg, ruptured diaphragm, several broken ribs and a punctured lung all in the one hit. Was only a little kid so don't remember much of it thankfully.
Have broken a few of my fingers since.

Got my nose broken playing indoor cricket. And I have a permanently bruised big toe from hockey.
I played basketball and when I was going for the rebound my leg got caught between someone elses so I landed awkwardly. I heard something pop in my knee and I knew it was my ACL A month after the injury I had surgery to get the hamstring tendon as my new ACL and the surgeon discovered that I damaged some of my cartilage. So now I can't get back to sport between 10-12 months..............

Nice. Car accident? 12 ribs would have been fun at once. I broke 2 and it had me rolling around on the ground in pain with a sneeze or cough. That's yuk man thinking about having 12 among the rest of some serious injuries.

A hernia, it was painful before the operation but even more painful for the few days after the operation, I struggled just to get out of bed and walk.
I copped a couple of medial ligament knee injuries, ankle injuries and a dislocated finger playing rugby but I got off lightly compared to some other guys I played with.
Also had my two front teeth knocked out playing cricket, it wasn't even against a fast bowler, it was against a spin bowler in the nets and the ball leapt up off the edge off the concrete pitch as I was playing a sweep.

You should have taken up lead guitar in a heavy metal band. It worked out well for Tony Iommi.
