Re: work injurys?
When I lived in AZ I was hit by a Pontiac while riding a mountain bike, fucked me up bad.
Results:
Road rash over my arms, back, shoulders, legs, and face
Concussion
Serious egg sized swell on one side of my head
Nerve damage around my face and hands, and shoulders
Chunks of rock and ashpalt forced into my skin, was fun taking it out
Blown out knee, not repairable
Arthritis in my knees
Tendonitis/"Burcitis" in my shoulders
3 months of waking up at 5am every morning with an insanely painful charlie horse in my left calf, which then made it so i couldnt walk right for days on end.
Lots of drinking and getting laid for the first time.
Also, i once cut my hand at the like "heel" of it almost to the bone, huge scar left in memory

Re: work injurys?
Back when I got out of High School I went right to work doing Concrete foundations/retaining walls...non union.
I have been.....
Dropped 12ft from a crane (was a dumbass and holding on to the hook/operater didnt see me, and lifted the load and me with it so I had to jump
)
Fallen a number of times off the scaffold
Have about a dozen scars all over from 16d nails
2 2" scars on my arm are the largest where a 60lb form panel with two 16's in the end fell on my arm and tore out a nice size 16d sized chunk
had a chunk removed from my mid thigh by the same thing above...nail imbedded 3/4 the way into my thigh then tore out a second later as the panel fell
had a few panels dropped on my head w/o a brain bucket.....all 60lb plus 1-1/8" plywood
had a stack of 20-30 panels roll over my middle finger and ring finger on my right hand (tore the skin off....nice scar from that)
Stepped on all sorts of nails......
I also grew up on a horse farm....and have been......
bitten on the left ring finger hard enough to remove the end and chip bone and remove the nail.
kicked full on in the right front side of my pelvis (almost broke...may still be bone chips there).....
and all the rest maybe anouther dozen or more times kicked and bitten by varioous horses...and i never let a horse get away without a beating after the fact

I hate getting stitches. I've only gotten them once. Got lots of bad *** scars though.

My worst painful injury was stepping on a nail. That son of a bitch hurt. Stepped off a ladder right on that mother ******. Right in front of the home owner and my boss and I'm just cussing and yelling like a mother ****** and my boss asks "Did it go in?". WTF would I be yelling and cussing and hopping around on one foot for if it didn't?
Another time I was starting the generator and pulled the starter back and sliced my wrist open on the mirror frame on my old pile of ---- work truck. It wouldn't have happened if the mirror wasn't missing.....
~10 stitches and alot of blood. Didn't hurt one bit. 
I got a piece of lime from stucco mix in my eye. That burnt like hell for days. Looked like I had pink eye.
