[Help Thread] Cubing Injuries?

[24653483361]

I really don't have any serious injuries, allergies (that I know of), and I've never been seriously ill.

I've fractured my fingers a few times, but I think I only went to the doctor when I fractured my 4th finger. I do remember in like 3rd grade I dropped something on my toe which damaged the nail or something, so it was all bruised. So after like a month or something I told my mom about it and while I started telling her what happened I started crying. Right after I finished she said "Does it hurt?" and immediately after she says that I stop crying and calmly reply "No."
.
Now that I think about it, I never really tell my parents when I hurt myself. Most the time I figure it will heal on its own.

EDIT: Forgot about this. In 3rd grade I was jumping on my friend's trampoline, and after about 2 or 3 minutes I hear my back crack. For about three months after that I couldn't walk without it hurting.

Not that I've noticed... I don't have it that often.

No pics no proof.


I was in the hospital a bit ago for appendicitis, and later had to go back for an abscess that was the size of a softball.
I broke both of my arms, my left arm was when I was riding a scooter and just fell off (Literally going like 2 miles an hour) the other one was when I was trying to hit this kid in the face with a kickball and I tripped and fell on my extended arm.
I used to have asthma, But that went away after I moved to Florida.
When I was one year old I had projectile vomiting, they tell me I could hit things 20 feet away.
I sliced my finger open in the car when I was trying to make an arrowhead in the car while my dad was in the store. ( I was trying to make the part where you would put the arrowshaft on the arrow the little hole thingmajig.) and so I was bleeding all over the place. I tried to stop the flow by covering it with my shirt. Then went into the store and asked the lady at the counter if they had a first aid kit. she was like "No, why?" and I showed her my finger and she started FREAKING out and told me to wash off my hand in the sink.

her freaking out though HAHAHAHA

One of my friends is allergic to latex.

On pi day 2006 (day before his 10th birthday), my friend broke his arm and his bone went through his skin.

I stubbed my toe once and only cried for 20 minutes.

I've had my hand/finger(s) slammed in doors several time, but none of these amounted to serious injuries.

I once stepped on a nail (the flat head of the nail, but the nail was so small, that it managed to pierce my skin anyway) Still oblivious to the existence of this nail, I somehow managed to drag my foot through it another couple centimeters.

Needless to say, I had to go to the hospital and get some stitches...

I got stabbed in the neck with a pencil when I was 8

Cubing injuries

So, recently I went to stop the timer using my keyboard, at like 120mph and my finger jammed into the edge of a dislodged key (it had been dislodged from a previous timer stop. I taped it down, kind of.)

Anyway, blood was drawn. Pic:

I got a lot of bloody fingernails from my Huanying. Those sharp inner corners...

 

[kcl]

I got like half of a sticker jammed into one of my trigger finger nails.. I couldn't get good times for almost a week.

 

[KongShou]

I pinched myself in the arm once

 

[Nilsibert]

Sometimes after timing I can barely move because my back hurts so much. I seem to have a back problem anyway, and my positioning while speedsolving doesn't help it :/

Dunno if it's cubing related or not, but when I try to move my thumb back towards the outside of my hand it won't, but then it'll pop and then it will.

Mine too. Been like it for months. Google "trigger finger".

Wrist pain involving speedcubing?

Hello, this is going to be my first article on this forum!
Recently I have started speedcubing, my mom always says that I will get Arthritis or sore-wrists if I keep doing that. I have had some minor soreness in my wrist but I'm pretty sure it is normal for someone my experience (1-2 weeks cubing) So my question is, has anyone here gotten any wrist/finger problems from speedcubing? Thank you and have a nice day

You shouldnt be using your wrists when solving in the first place, atleast not much. Lubing the puzzle and using fingertricks minimizes the friction and basically all physical strain to your wrists. You'll be fine.
