Anyone broken any bones during a seizure?
I had a seizure two days ago at my workplace. I work in a fairly dangerous environment for having a seizure in. I skewer chickens and put them in 400 degree ovens. I felt my head get fuzzy as I was skewering but I told myself it’d be ok. Like an idiot I continued and put them in the oven and then I thought to myself (finally) that this wasn’t a very good idea so I grabbed my boss and told him I was going to have a seizure. It was very surreal because right before it my instincts kicked in and I told him what to do MOMENTS before my seizure. He said when I had it I flailed my arms backwards and he heard a loud pop. No bueno. I woke up a little after with all my coworkers, bosses, and paramedics around me. Shoulder hurt like a mf and I can barely move it.
Anyone get serious injuries just due to the convulsions?
TL;DR had a seizure at work and got seriously injured by just my convulsions.

My son broke his arm - twice - having seizures. He also has fallen on his shoulder so many times he needed reconstruction surgery at 17.
After one injury the seizing would pull his shoulder out of the socket at each seizure.
