I haven't had anything worse than stepping on a nail since I'm cautious

Had an ingrown toenail. It was my big toe on my right foot and anytime I put pressure on the fleshy bit on the right side of the nail puss literally squirted out. My mom just had me soak it in warm water with Epsom salt which did precisely Jack shit. So I took a needle and a few miscellaneous items (it was a few years back, can't remember exactly) and fixed it myself. Last year I was working on the homecoming float and I was walking and not watching my footing. I stepped through a gap in the trailer and 175 lb me came down on my knee. My knee that got wedged in a gap between two metal bars on the trailer. My foot never touched the ground so all that kinetic energy went straight to the knee. Unfortunately it was the middle of the football season and I had already missed a few games for unrelated injuries so I didn't get it checked out. It was swollen and black for several weeks and it still hurts every now and then to this day. I did go to a doctor recently and they couldn't figure out what was wrong .-. I was doing box jumps last spring. The box was about halfway up my thighs. I was on my 3rd set or so (5 sets of 5). I jumped, my left foot cleared, my right didnt. I stubbed my right toe and came down on my shins. I had 2 inch long white streaks on both shins. Not sure if it was bone I saw or if that's just what happens from trauma like that. Whatever it was it quickly started welling blood. I ended up walking it off and doing the rest of the workout (minus the box jumps) I still have the scars and indentions.
