What was the most gruesome sports injury? Two notable injuries I can think of was Jermaine Dye {Athletics} bending & braking his shin in a playoff game, & Shaun Livingston {Clippers} knee injury. 2 really hideous boo-boos would be Joe Theismann {Redskins} having his shin snapped like a twig & the grosser scene of someone who parlayed getting Clint Malarchuk's jugular for his carotid. When I saw that on a ESPN story, I thought, "$%¶§! That is horrifying! " It's a miracle Malarchuk is still alive. What other sports injury grossed u out? Or do the Malarchuk or Theismann injuries take the cake? Thumbs up if u also (un4tunately) happened 2 b @ the game & even have a camera or camera-phone 2 witness it.
Is there anyway I can be given surgery for a sports injury at a reduced price? I'm a Tennis Player & currently suffering from a Medial Cartilage Meniscus Injury.

Sports Injury.............................? was playing basketball, and I was guarding my friend. He was dribbling and when he turned around, his shoulder hit my chin, breaking my front tooth in half vertically (Kind of). But since it was an already fake tooth which I broke long ago, I do not believe it will cost that much (Under 300?). But my question is,,,, my family is kinda poor and does not have any money for the treatment which I need to get soon. Do you think it would be bad if I ask my friend for half or at least one third of the payment that will come out of the dental fee? And is that legal?

Im thinking about going to a chiropractic/sports injury place near my house. what are the benefits of this? what would i do at a sports theripist/chiropractor. how can they help ice skaters? i fall on my back end, knees, side and stuff like that. after i skate i am sore and it lasts for a few days to a week, and continues in a vicious-injury cycle. i dont mind falling, but it is hard to jump (or move for that matter) and it gets in the way of my sk8n if my muscles/joints dont work propperly. what should i inquire about/ go in for? what other things should i know about before i do this? i hear all the time about high competitive sk8rs (which i am not, but i do fall alot) that have masseuses, sports theripist, and the likes, but i have never done this, but i figure now is a good time to do this because i am worried about long term affects and such.
What kind of doctor is it that deals with sports/joint/tendon/muscle injury/rehabilitation?

No orthapedic non-surgeons, and I doubt I need surgery. ********DETAIL************* FYI: My insurance does not require referalls to see a specialist. So I dont need to goto my PCP first.

Oh and i jump off my left foot for High Jump. (P.S. I Don't believe it's shin splints. I had those last year, and this isn't the same symptoms as it was last year. I'm thinking more a bone bruise, but it's been a long time for one of those...)
