My tibia is, hmm let's say "experienced", so it doesn't hurt, but muscles beside it made it paintful like hell, so I can barely stand.

Ouch be careful there dont let your talent ground you for life!

I'm not sure if it is a talent. For sure it is hard work and something what I love.
Besides injuries are in these sport rather popular, and it's hard to avoid it. For example during last 3 months my thumb was knocked out about 5 times, so that was kinda annoying, especially when I had problems with writing (first several days).

So what grade or level are you then? You must enjoy it then to have that many injuries on a regular basis?

In most of martial arts, that I train there's no grades, in others I simply don't mind belts, and in some dimensions I can beat even the black belts (e.g. karate, judo, teakwondo). But I'm in group (speaking of Muay Thai, boks and MMA), which is told to be the best, and fresh men are afraid of spar with us (basically they are knock down too many times).
So despite being hurt it gives me a lot of fun. Besides it reminds me a chess, especially a ground fight for submission.

Very good, it would take a lot of discipline, i imagine, not to seriously hurt someone and respect your ability for what it is.

Yeah, It's really hard to not hurt somebody, but unfortunately there are people, who just want to demonstrate how good they are, and just beat their sparring partners to a bloody pulp. That's what makes easter martial arts better (but alas not so effective), that they also develop in spiritual way.
But martial arts give really a lot of things, starting with self respect, control and self confidence, and you feel more safe with it

.
So hard effort pays off.
As for me, it let me live as I want to, and never hesistate if someone is in need.

The last time that I got injured was when me and my brother were goofing around and then he accidentally pushed me in a near by post.

I have to make under go to CT scan to see if there's an injury in my head. Good thing nothing serious has happened in my head.

I broke a finger while i was trying to poke an ex friend in the eye during a tickle fight, he won. Obviously..
Burnt a hole the size a little bigger than a quarter on my arm from an oven (it was hot, who knew?!

)
Broke a toe while playing kick ball with my nephew, i kicked the wall instead since i'm super smart. (he thought it was hilarious. Evil four year old)
Cracked a rib (um haha we're not going to discuss how that happened...

)
Popped my wrist out of place, which i didnt think was possible, but it hurt like hell.

In my 73 years I couldnt list all the times I have been injured, but heres a few.
Got in a fight with a Skil saw, cut my finger half off
Fell off a roof and broke a couple ribs
Tripped over a log and tore my knee open, took 30 some stitches
Went through a windsheild in a head-on, busted my skull and left half my scalp on the broken windsheild
Broke my arm in a work-related accident
Got bit in the stomach by a pit bull
Broke my finger catching a baseball
Dropped a 1 inch 4 by 8 foot peice of plywood on my toe and broke it, its still flat
A couple days ago I moved my old artharitic knee wrong and popped it, I still cant move it very good
When I was about 12 I was running down a porch and jumped off and hit my neck on a clothesline wire, went down and cracked my head open on the edge of the porch.

Thats an average of about one injury every 10 years, not too bad I guess.

O yes, one more. I was helping my son-in-law putting a fuel pump in the gas tank on this old peice of crap Lincoln he had just bought, gas splashed on my legs, and when we had got done Roy lit a cigarette and whooosh. I was ablaze. Got it out by rolling in the dirt, but my legs were barbequed. Roy's smoking is hazardous to my health.

You know Bh, that's a real good start

, here are some of the villians who made me what I am today:
1. Tried to clean and jerk my toybox, age 3. Necessitated hernia operation
2. Thrown head first over handlebars of bike. Broke wrist trying to break fall.
3. As a reward for being the slowest kid on the team, I was chosen to be the
catcher. Got scrapes, bruises, and knots too numerous to mention blocking
homeplate. Got the wind knocked out of me whenever I forgot to wear my cup.
4. Pinched a nerve fighting a kid who had been picking on my kid brother. Couldnt
cough, laugh, or break wind for several months. This during the pre-ultra sound era.
5. After recovering from pinched nerve, introduced the kid who had so foolishly
picked on my beloved brother to the fat end of my Louisville Slugger. He got assorted
cuts and bruises, nothing serious. I stopped when he agreed to become invisible.
6. Worked off the invisible kids hospital bill by scraping dishes at local restaurant for a year
quid pro quo
7. Various others: Shot in shoulder in Vietnam, mostly recently broke my right ankle trying
to balance myself on my computer chair.
8. The latest: kicked myself in the ass, for compiling this stupid, unnecessary list. My apologies to anyone whose read this far.

That would be rough not being able to break wind. I didnt mention the numerous times I hurt my back from trying to be a tough macho guy by lifting things that should be lifted with a forklift. Passing gas was extremely painful. Looking back at my list, I agree. It is kind of stupid.

Hueys "a lumberjack and he's alright" and they dont get much tougher than that. Go ahead, Fran, ask him how many fingers he's got left. Fight's were always the worst. Even if you win, you lose. That pinched nerve came from a swing
I took and never connected. I felt something when it happened. The next day, I coughed and the pain was incredible.
The pain came from right above my left pectoral. When I went to the doctor, he just nodded. With my shirt off he located a spot on my back(between my shoulder blades) and touched it. While I'm bent over in pain, he asks "Is that
what it kinda feels like?" Everybodys a comedian.
I'm sorta tuff, Hueys real tuff, but Tuff Hedeman wrote the book on tuff. Tuff Hedeman got almost every bone in his
face broken by the bull he'd been riding, Bodacious. He got thrown off and then this GD bull trampled his face. The
PBR put the bull down almost immediately. He wasnt just "spirited" he was a killer. It took days and days of surgery
to rebuild Tuffs face. When he got out of the hospital, he was livid because PBR(Professional Bull Riders) had sacrificed
the bull. Tuff is now President of PBR. He's 5'4" and 155 lbs.
I've changed my mind. Huey, the floors all yours.

Well this injury isnt necassarily mine but it was so hilarious i had to post it..
Matthew (fiance) left for something, so i was home alone talking to you lovely people, and i heard someone walking around the house. I thought maybe it was Matt, but i called out and he didnt answer, so i looked outside and his car wasnt in its lot, so i grabbed hairspray and was slowly walking around the house to try to get out the front door and someone came around the corner really quick and i panicked and sprayed him in the eyes with the hairspray, screamed and kicked him before i realized it was Matt. I'm such a horrible girlfriend.
