What DDR Injuries have you suffered?

does humiliation count???

but the worst I suffered would be the time where I was playing max 2 for the first time and my right leg fell off of the pad and I kind messed my ankle up, I kept playing though. But when I got home it was all swollen.

I think the worst 'injury' I've had so far is strained calf muscles from overuse. I couldn't walk for about a week. It would be ok most of the day...a little sore...but then when I would go to bed and wake up in the morning, I would have to walk with my knees bent until the muscles loosened up. The product of 5 hours of DDR in one day.

What Up Everyone!
I think my right knee was going to get sore when I was playing Twin Bee on heavy. I was afraid I was going to twist it so I ended up faling that song for the sake of my aching knee.

I think I had some close calls when I felt my left knee was going to twist on me.

I had a history of my left knee back in freshmen year in high school when I was sprinting; then all of a sudden, my left knee gave out on me (like it twisted)

. Man, it's the worst feeling I had ever felt.

I think the cartilage on my left knee is damaged. Have to get it checked.

I broke my right foot a year ago on www.Blondegirl doubles. Not because it was hard or anything (i can get 2 greats on it), but because i shifted my weight wrong and fell on it weird. I heard a pop in my shoe, and knew what had happened. >.< I couldn't walk for 2 months.

I did get an A on Paranoia Rebirth light about 20 minutes after i broke it.... I did it with my hands though

I've pulled muscles in my right foot, pulled both quads, sprained my knee, pulled both hamstrings, and gotten a HUGE black and blue mark on my arm when I fell off the pad attempting MAX 300... ehehehe

It's not really an injury, but rather a frickin bad condition I've got myself into. It happenned yesterday. I had an asthma attack while doing Legend of Maxx on standard. My current level of songs I can do at the arcade is 5~6. However, since I was able to do it almost perfectly on StepMania, I thought "Hey, I can read the steps well, I shouldn't have any problems doing it after a few tries". Wrong move, sparky! It was a lot harder than I expected, although I almost did it... >.<

I had to calm down and stop playing for 10 minutes, and right after I was back on the pad. My friends thought I was crazy, but doing songs I was more used to actually helped the asthma episode to go away.

So that LoM cata will wait for a while...

Umm I was playing V on Oni and double and when I was going to the other side of the pad I kinda fell and hit my buttocks on the other machine..(not a DDR one)

well...2 things...

-i'm only 12 and i don't hurt easily. pretty tough.

-i'm a gymnast which means i pretty much bend any way and i'm used to all the bruises and DDR strengthens the legs for beam so i guess it's sort of a mini work out? >>

the only real injury i've suffered from DDR is maybe eyes aching after looking at those bright flashy arrows only a foot away from our 50 inch, wide screen tv.

eh..PM me if you wanna chat.

I have a tendency to check to see if my hair is messed up, even while I play. So one day i kinda poked my self in the eye while doing that. IT FRICKIN HURT! I tend to not check my hair anymore.
