Does a near miss count? Was playing juniors a few years back, went for a smash, and my racquet (which had had a fairly hard life, I must admit) snapped in half, flew over the net, missed my opponent's ear by about 6 inches, and shattered against the back wall.

I've never seen an asian go quite that pale before, or since.

Between the years 15-19, i would sustain pulled ligaments/slight dislocations of my left knee approx 7-9 times due to mainly to badminton and once or twice cuz of martial arts. When i came over to vancouver, at age 18, i sustained the left knee injury a couple more times from bball and badminton and twice as well on the right knee.. However only 3 years ago, i sustained a right knee cap dislocation injury which laid me off badminton for 2 years. Yes, i reaaaaaaaaally hate injuries :| .. so that's my story and i'm sticking to it! cheers!

p.s i'm a pretty dark fella, and that right knee dislocation, made me about as pale as a ghost.. not pretty i tell ya

when i was 9 i split my forehead open on the net post. looking back on that one it was actually quite funny. had a trip to the hospital. loved it

also i had a trapped nerve in my neck when i turned to make a shot. that was worse. wore a collor for weeks

What was your worst injury done in badminton? I had a few sprained ankle here and there. Some others is their knees and shins. My girlfriend is her lower back. Any others?

**saham** · 07-03-2005, 05:08 AM

I had several sprained ankles, torn knee ligament, dislocated knee and the worst would be when I totally ruptured my left achilles tendon

ouch! that was really the worst injury I ever experienced. It was during a tournament I was playing doubles, I was out of playing badminton for 1.5 years, missed badminton terribly

.

But now I am back and even better than before I had my worst injury. Lesson learned from all those injuries - ensure enough warming up, stretching exercises etc. before start to play your game (no matter how eager you are

to hit the shuttle) which can help avoid those injuries.

I got arthritis in my wrist in about August 2007 about a month before i turned 13. Since then I haven't been able to play badminton or any other sport which involve using the hands. Fortunately the steroids the doctors injected have really been working and i can now use my hand. I have been going to physio therapy for a couple of weeks now. I may even be able to play in a few months time.

**Vomit** · 04-07-2008, 03:56 PM

I get a random shoulder pain occasionally, had to see the physio about it.
After a long period of playing I do a smash like normal and a shooting pain would go down my arm - blardy killed! then i would have continious strong ache in my shoulder for a couple days.
Tried to continue playing first time it happened - not a good idea!
But after doing exercises my physio gave me i havn't had any trouble - just need to balance badminton with the gym!

Anyway Thats my worst injury - be it tempoary and not very interesting!

Ouch! That doesn't sound good.

**lwiew** · 05-14-2008, 06:34 AM

Do you guys who are get severely injured all play competitively or something? Cause you make badminton sound extremely dangerous.

I've never had anything worse than a rolled ankle and I don't see myself as a backyard player at all... What on earth are you guys doing when you're playing? Playing on rollerblades? =S I'm scared to play now...

**loggietoh2003** · 05-14-2008, 07:42 AM

If you have proper trainings and do the right things i.e. warm up/down, follow instructions and dun play stunts, you should be fine

this happened to one of the guys we play doubles with on a 'social' level.
one week his doubles partner told him off for not moving his feet or running for shots.
the next week he ran so fast for a shot, tripped over his feet and headbutted the concrete wall at the side of the court.
I was laughing so hard i failed to notice that he was actually unconscious.

we spent the evening with him in the A&E department and he is returning to play next week after c8 weeks out.
