No lasting war wounds.
But at a salsa class a lady with high heels managed to put her heel down inside my shoe by my ankle. Theres a lovely vein there (right foot, left side just behind the ankle). This fortunately didnt make me bleed by damaged the area sufficiently that it "cut off power" to my foot and lower leg and I couldn't stand on it. Obviously hurt like hell and I would fall over. This lasted about 30minutes.
Also whilst doing a cross-drop (or whatever name you use - crucifix drop etc) in Jive a lady decided to literally dive to the floor before I lead it and also took none of her weight. This put my back out for 3 weeks.
Likewise I went to do a "Swoopy Bounce Out" thingy. Again a lady decided to lead herself into the "Swoopy drop" completely unlead by me. Again whilst saving her from headbanging the floor I put my back out.
It seems to be a common problem for followers, that if they've only ever learnt that a drop or lean follows from a certain move, you lead something else and give no hint that you're leading any kind of drop or lean and they throw themselves at the floor instead of waiting for the lead. That's been discussed to death elsewhere though.
A weak right ankle plagues me from time to time - It doesn't really stop me - just gives me an excuse to haunt the blues room
Oh and an old scar from a ceilidh... I fell and a good friend who hadn't realised I had fallen stepped back onto my calf with her stillettos - Ouch that one hurt

I have an internal injury that will never go away. A few years ago I snapped my hamstring in my left leg doing the splits on a dancefloor in Cowes My doctor has advised me that the operation to re-connect it will not succeed and that I should live with the injury. I live with it and most of the time I forget it's there.
