Bruised (possibly broken) Coccyx (bum bone)
When I was about 15 I was in my Dad's flat and snooping around - as you do. Well I saw an interesting shoe box on the top shelf so manouvered a rather flimsy wicker chair in that direction to stand on it and reach the box.

Before I got my greasy paws on it I slipped off the said chair and I landed with one arsecheek either side of a very sharp wooden armchair back.

The sharp armchair back embedded itself up my crack as I came down on it with all my weight.

I rolled around on the floor clutching my backside for about 10 mins unable to even stand up or take a breath the pain was so bad.

I was finally able to stand and walk and told my Dad the reason for my funny walk was a back strain.

I never went to the doctor as I was too embarrassed.

I think this would fall under the category of "instant Karma". From that moment on I was too scared to look in the box in case of some greater misfortune happening to me. Must have been good though.
