On Saturday I sat on the toilet and felt a sharp pain in the side of my leg. Within a couple of hours I couldn't walk on the leg. Today I have had it diagnosed as an inflamed bursa .
So...I managed 9 months of IM training injury free and now I can't walk because I sat on the loo!!!
Anyone else injure themselves in a stupid way?

I know someone who broke their thumb shutting a lift door.
I have an unexplained burn on my left elbow, which has been very blistered but I can't remember doing, I think Dave tortures me in my sleep, it's the only possible explanation.
FWIW my most stupidest injury was breaking my left wrist. I slipped on a step and didn't want to drop the glass of wine I was carrying in my right hand so put my left hand down.... Was of course worried about landing on smashed glass as well.
Slugsta - I pulled my intercostals sneezing once. Signed off work for a few days and lots of very good painkillers, result!
My list of daft injuries is long and embarressing. I'm 37 and there are only two years in my entire life when I haven't presented myself at A&E with something broken, bashed, torn or bleeding;
- damaged knee ligaments by dancing on a table in heels
- sprained ankle falling off a kerb, crutches for four weeks
- burnt all fingers on right hand by pouring gravy over them
and the best one is entirely my Mother's fault - admitted to hospital as a toddler with suspected meninghitus (excuse spelling ) to discover I had heat rash.
I suspect it was where it was that caused the problem as I had to reach under a shelf to get it - as soon as I picked it up I couldn't move as my back locked out completely.
happened during a summer job when I was working for a catering wholesalers packing crates for hotel deliveries
Rolled over in bed and pulled my groin - didn't run for a while after - bloody hurt
Bending over to put key in front door pulled my back - was in agony for a few days with that too
Don't know what I did, but absolute agony under arches next day. Couldn't run for several weeks.
