How many AOers have something seriouslly wrong with them?

[Will Wood]

Yes, Yes, unofortuantly it is another AO have something thread.

I have a rather messed up left leg. I was born with a bowed tibia and my left leg was very bent. like this:
left>>>( |<<<right
At age 8, I took a nap and the doctors broke my leg, and made it straight. Well, things didn't turn out all happy. Since that wonderfull day, I have had many surguries, broken my leg 5 times, a bunch of invections.

Probably been in a hostipal bed for almost a half year, crutches for 2 years, weelchair for a month or two.
Over 40 scars on my leg.

Very think bone and little muscle from mutliple surgerious.

Pics soon!

lol, I think this is the point where I should make a sad puppy face and ask for a free E-Mag

Here's a pic with my leg brace (hard to see) which if I didnt have my leg probably would snap in half:

Man, that really sucks. But hey, look at the bright side, when paintballing, everyone will underestimate you and drop their guard. Giving you ample time to paint a mona lisa on their face.

hmm... too bad about the leg and i bet python is right about people underestimatin you at first....

now lets see... me... 2 pin in my left hip the ball joint at the top of the thigh bone grew to far apart from the rest of the leg... that was back when i was 13... and i still dont have a full range of motion in that leg...

1 bad disk in my back L5/S1... had a series of 3 cortazone shots that lasted a year and 1 more thats been going for about a year now... thoughhhi may need another before shatnerball... if the probly right after... its been acting up again

and finally a chip of my right knee cap just kinda floating in place from a car accident... plastic dash through my knee

[dave_p]

another L5/S1 in da house

and my L5 vertebra is slipped forward a bit(doctor called it a spondololesthesis(spelling??))which compresses the disc even more.sleeping with the a.c. on really makes me sore in the morning.i run like quasimoto and have a real tough time getting my socks on in the morning but i am able to live and work ok. when a less invasive more effective surgery comes along ill try that out. in europe they have these artificial disks that look real cool. not approved here tho.

I have an extra, weak vertebre in my back. The lowest vertebre in normal is 2 seperate vertebre in my back. I could bend over to pick up a show and completely throw my back out. The vertebre will slip to the side and pinch down my siatic nerve causing a shooting pain down my right leg until my chiropractor sets me straight. It normally takes a week of therapy for a bad one.

load if you dont mind me asking... how do you play paintball with something like that? i would think with as much action that goes on in a game you could really hurt your self(i would think this goes to most of you guys w/ problems) sorry o hear about ur problems.

I guess I should rephrase that a bit. I could fall out of a moving plane onto a rock pile and my back will be fine. Or I could open a door and the pressure change between rooms will cause my back to go out. It's unpredictable. It can also be painful but it's not damaging. It's a genetic problem and not a tearing or degenerative problem. So this is as bad as it gets.

[PaInTbAlLeR476]

Thats weird

Hey, I think that's terrible. I love cheese way too much.

Here's your cookie....

[Micewheelz72]

Hey! Thanks for the cookies
I can eat some cheese, but not a lot. It does suck sometimes, but its not a real problem...

[obsolete898]

I have big ears, a big nose and a big adam's apple. Not really a problem cause I'm proportional.
