To the Left, To the Left

Now that we all have Beyonce stuck in our heads...I'll get on with it...ha ha. I've never thought of myself as injury prone (that is my brother's role in the fam), but just in the past few weeks I've had three different issues...and all on the left side!!! Tell me how does that happen??? So I got to thinkin' about injuries I've had throughout the years and wouldn't you know they are all on the left. Let's make a list shall we...

Back in the day...
  1. Left ankle sprain x3...a massage therapist asked me about this one time because she saw my feet were shaped a little different and that my ankle had been compromised
  2. Left big toe nail...was not pretty...couldn't wear anything but flip flops for a week
  3. Left shoulder had tendinitis...learned how to dance one armed until it was showtime
  4. Left (pretty sure) elbow out of socket...my dad saved me from running in front of a car
  5. Threw out my left arm from carrying all my Halloween candy one year
  6. Left knee would hurt all the time due to a weak left hip
  7. 4 scars on my left knee, 2 on top of each other from tripping more than once while playing basketball in the driveway
  8. Laid on a hot curling iron with my left arm...happy thanksgiving to me!
Present day...
  1. Did too many bicep curls and wasn't able to use my left arm for a few days
  2. Did something to cause pain in my left palm...radiating from the heel of my hand up along my thumb
  3. Huge charlie horse in my left quad just last night! Now it hurts to cross my legs ha ha.
I'm not saying I don't ever injure my right side because I find random bruises and scratches every where all the time...I think I even do some of that in my sleep...but I find it interesting most of the big things happened on the left.

Is anyone else like this...do you have a side that is injured more than the other????
