Not quite to your level with the injuries, but I played sports year-round from age 6-18, and I'm paying the price in my mid 30's.
All of my major joints have some issues, ranging from bone chips, cartilage tears, you name it. Nothing serious enough to go under the knife over, but enough to be irritating. Both ankles, knees and shoulders....
Each one of my fingers has been broken, some multiple times.
Broken collarbone, cracked pelvis. My right shoulder is so loose I can dislocate it on command. Quit doing that in college. Dislocated elbow, and my right hip joint feels like it grinds. Doc can't find anything wrong there though.
Too many stitches and staples to count.
And the grand finale: 7 diagnosed concussions. I'm guessing 2-3 that went undiagnosed.
Do yourself a favor. Quit now so you can walk later. It sucks, I know, I've had to quit playing hockey, which leaves golf as my only activity. But looking back, I'm glad I did.
