Broken left wrist while playing basketball. That sidelined me for a while.
Dislocated pinky during warm-ups before a 7th grade baseball game. I popped it back in and played a good game. It hurt like hell after the game though.
Suffered a shoulder injury playing football with friends while in college. I still don't know what the damage was, but lots of Motrin for the next few weeks eased the pain. Now, I can't throw a baseball or a football very well and if I'm playing catch, I can only last so long before my arm starts throbbing.
Numerous running injuries, but thankfully none too serious. The worst was sudden swelling in my right knee my sophomore year in high school. Bike exercises, ice, and therapy from our school's trainer cleared it up and I learned new stretches and training to keep it from happening again.
Other random things: strained bicep during baseball, Achilles strains during running (when I first run after not running for a while), and pain in the arches of my feet when my running shoes had too many miles on them.
