Permanent injuries suck.

    I’ve broken many bones in my life, but the standout is my hip. I was 34 when I fractured the femoral neck in my hip joint. When I get up after sitting on a chair/couch for a while, my hip pops LOUD, and normally is pleasant feeling (sometimes really, really not), but anyone in earshot immediately looks to me with alarm because they can’t place what popped to make the sound.

    Me: points to hip–> it’s my hip cracking, don’t worry! Them: 🤮

      I don’t have the excuse of broken bones, I just have really loud joints. Like my ankle which sounds like a whip cracking.

      I once tore my hamstring playing Ultimate on a wet field. I thought I heard a sound like a giant rubber band snapping when it happened but I figured I was just imagining it. But then everybody came running over to me saying “what was that sound?”
