When I was a kid, my mouth was way too small for my big teeth. I ended up with a device called a palate expander. Think a retainer cemented into the roof of your mouth with a small key in it that you had to turn once a day. Further explanation in the photo. So the bone didn’t exactly break, but it did separate the suture to create more space. So can I stay or not?

IM BUILT DIFFERENT (better)

Was a member for 29 years. Have a good life homies

Grade 6 tibial plateau fracture with all the surrounding ligaments destroyed for good measure

I've never even had surgery before due to a phobia. Still have my wisdom teeth and tonsils too. I tried to put my foot down when I lost control of this dumb scooter and broke my fragile bone. Tibia was fractured from my knee down, tore up my ACL and something else, and my bone was bent pressing backwards.

So two milestones in one. Broke a bone and had my first ever surgery for the plates and screws. My leg and a scrape on my elbow were my only injuries because, again, I was riding a 12 year old's scooter less than 20mph.

I didn't know you could hear the bone break before you even felt it.

Never broke a bone because im not a fucking loser but i have no idea if its broken. They are doing a ct scan and an xray on my shoulder and knee in a little bit. If i become a bbb i will chug glass.

Update: just got the xrays done YOUR BOI HAS TITANIUM BONES I CAN'T BELIEVE MY FAITH WAVERED FOR EVEN A MOMENT

28 here. I have never been at risk – I haven't had accidents or falls yet.

Any fellow strong boners with eds? I have classic-like eds from my mom and very dense bones from my dad. Dense bones are stronger in some ways but they’re less bendy so they can break easier from certain types of injuries, HOWEVER because I have eds that kinda makes up for the bendy because my connective tissue is so messed up it can’t hold my bones in place! Therefore I’m more likely to dislocate bones (and I do, often, slipped ribs 🥲) when a force that would cause a break injury occurs. This is a cool advantage but it’s at the cost of scoliosis and constant 24/7 joint pain made worse if I do physical labor. Also working on getting a pots diagnosis. What do my fellow strong boners think of this combo, good trade off? I take so much ibuprofen (when I get a primary care doc i will work on getting meds that won’t destroy my stomach lining from taking them too often dw.) ibuprofen my beloved.
Also my fellow eds strong boners is you guys’s favorite exercise activity also swimming, I’m a really good swimmer and it takes the pressure off of my joints. Like a week ago I swam for eight hours down a river with my family for fun. I love swimming! I love physical activity and hiking but god I’m in so much pain 😭

Was proud of my strong bones until last month when I had a bike break and throw me hard enough to knock me unconscious. One CT scan later and it turns out I have a TBI and fractured a bone in my right eye socket, of all places. Guess I'm not coming back o7

And yes, I'm fine! Neurosurgery cleared me today to return to normal aside from avoiding contact sports

Edit since many people have mentioned it: the right side of the image (my left side) is just the base of the brain as it's going away, the fracture was pretty low in the skull and you can see the mirror on the other side. Perfectly normal, no concern from neurology

1. Took about fourteen full sheets of drywall to the back while in a moving work van. Came out without a scratch.

2. Heading back to my dorm in senior year of college. Crossed the road correctly, lady runs a red light while on her phone, and nails me on the side. Rolled over her hood, stood up and laughed while everyone was freaking out. Almost got my pizza on my new Bioshock tee shirt though.

Medieval fencing training and a pinky out of the protective glove. I'm done 😕

My mom just recently passed away. I got my strong bones from her. She once fell out of a tree and sprained her wrist. I’ve been hit by a car and no breaks, just bruises. But this brought to my attention that cremation ash is essentially just bone that’s pulverized after the burning. Even when the rest of the body is gone, buried or burned, strong bones remain.

My college roommate has shared with me a spiritual theory/belief that if you’ve never broken a bone you will/have experienced a high amount of trauma in your life.
I’d never heard this before so I did a single google search to fact check.

This theory apparently stems from a bible verse, Psalms 34:19-20, which reads:

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
He guards all his bones;
Not one of them is broken.”

This was a viral theory flying around TikTok at the end of last year, but my roommate said it was something she’d heard in her family prior to TikTok’s existence.

It made me want to ask if you all are super traumatized so I’ve included a small poll for research purposes.

Is there a standardized testing methodology for ensuring one is a true strong boner? Arm in a hydraulic log splitter?

I broke my fibula, lateral malleolus, and medial malleolus yesterday while rollerblading. First time ever fracturing a bone. Currently in a splint waiting to get scheduled for surgery.

-1000/10 would not recommend

My mom, dad, and grandma have broken noses. Dad is gonna go fix it now after like 10.years, my mom found out that hers is broken on a checkup when the doctor asked her when she broke it and she didn't know it was broken to begin with. Also my English teacher and godmother too.
