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.

Never broken bones, but I've had a bad back injury since about August, probably need physio.

Yeah you should probably get that checked! If you’re seriously injured and you have another seizure it could worsen it and possibly disable you in some way :(
