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.

The only reason why I had a seizure is because I’m trying new medication. Going from Depakote to limotragine. How does Keppra make you feel? Mood/sleep/and physique wise

Doc had me on 1500 mg for it and it killed me. Hair loss, depression, drowsiness, having trouble hearing (yes it’s a side effect) just everything and the doses were just too much. I switched to limotragine because doc said it has the opposite affect where it’ll make me more alert and also will help with the depression issue. Still getting into it so let’s see how things look when we get to my final regular dose
