What Cowboys/NFL injuries have you personally suffered before?

[JoeKing]

What difference does it make? Isn't this off-topic?

I've had a complete reconstruction of my ankle....torn acl, dislocated my shoulder 7 times and 2 surgeries, 4 broken bones, 2 concussions...I think that's it....btw...ligament transplant and 3 screws in my ankle along with an 18 inch scar.....total of 7 surgeries

That is some solid work my friend.

 

[DeaconBlues]

Torn planter fasciitis in right foot. Broken bones in left hand. Left knee surgery. 13 pieces of titanium in spine (doubt any NFL player had this and returned to play, but Tiger Woods did).

 

[CowboyMort]

Torn meniscus x2, torn ACL, dislocated shoulder, pulled hamstring, torn ligament in thumb and index finger (both on throwing hand) and planter facia.

Wow this really makes me sound like a wreck.

Forgot to add that I have had broken or cracked ribs 3-4 times I think. Couching, sneezing, laughing, etc is sooo painful.

 

[Mobinvans]

Torn meniscus. Healed on it's own, very slowly.

Ya all depends if you have a flap hanging..lol

mine kept locking my knee up, got surgery felt 100% after a month, should have never waited

Oh yeah, multiple concussions and cataracts.

Reading this, I believe if not for CZ, the medical complex collapses years ago.

I hyperextended my elbow almost the same way Gallimore did. In my case some big ol' offensive linemen fell on my arm while it was planted on the ground. They were horsing around after the play was over and I was getting up. My elbow bent backwards. It was ugly and very painful for a couple of days. But I was able to play in a week. I cannot understand what Gallimore did to his arm or why he missed 12 weeks.

I had 9 broken ribs all at once and almost passed out trying to wipe my bohunkey .Had to buy 1 of those sponge bathtub wands to get the job done

My last game in college I suffered a rib fracture. Had minor ankle and knee sprains, rarely missed any playing time with those.

Brutal!

I got to thinking that I have seen Zoners here post about how they have torn their plantar fascia or Achilles or ACL before. Needless to say, plenty of us have had concussions before.

What injuries have you had in common with a particular Cowboy?

I don't know about that, but I once lost an eyeball in a barfight.

I mean I lost the other guy's eyeball when the giant meathead plowed him and cracked his skull.
It, like, rolled under a table, or something...
It was dark!

We have a really banged up fanbase....

The Dak broken leg injury. I broke both bones at the ankle and 1 bone was broken in 2 places. The breaks were complete displacement type breaks.

If you remember Dak looking at his ankle after the injury. I remember laying on the ground picking up may leg and my foot was just dangling.

Despite all of that, I got up and hopped back to my truck which was about 50 yards away and drove myself to the ER...

Si se puede crees si, ohala que is verdad, y entonces vosotros agui, con safo....just trying to throw some blessings out there...

 

[JBond]

Broken ankle in 4 places. Surgery required pins to hold it together. Was in a cast for 2 or 3 months that did not allow me to put any weight on the foot.

My dad was my coach. Walk it off and set the example. Until I could no longer walk and finally after a game was taken to a hospital. After x-rays they came out and asked how many previous breaks I have had. Told them a couple tweaks here and there. Found out about 3 previous breaks. Still lean to the right.
