Adding on here from some personal knowledge of some of these:
Sometimes adrenaline wearing off makes you throw up.
"twist" or "sprain" covers everything from "oops I just tweaked it it'll be fine in a second" to "I tore my ligament asunder and now my ankle is the size of a football and will need 6-12 weeks of bedrest and after that physical therapy"
most wounds need immediate rest and, after healing, physical therapy. most doctors don't understand this and a lack of immediate rest and physical therapy is what causes chronic injuries, which are injuries that NEVER HEAL.
bones start trying to knit back together immediately upon breaking, this is why getting them set back in the right position right away is so important. Our bodies heal FAST and don't care what alignment we heal back into, see previous.
the only people who roll their joint back into socket and keep going are people who have hypermobility chronic illness and are therefore used to it. HOWEVER this doesn't mean it doesn't hurt! It just means you are forced to get used to it and figure out how to roll it back into place yourself.
Shock doesn't just apply to physical injuries, it also applies to trauma.
There are many kinds of stitches. Newer tech has stitches that stretch and move with you and also dissolve on their own. Older tech, including using regular thread like for clothing, does not. I've had both kinds and lemme tell you, those old accounts of people ripping out their stitches because they itched like crazy are not fucking lying, them fuckers drive you insane with the itching and the pulling.
Scars don't just end up over-sensitive, they can end up numb, or feeling icy, burning, itching, hot, or any number of fuckery. Nerve damage is real and lasts decades after the injury depending on whether a major nerve bundle was severed. My mouth nerves are still healing from a jaw reconstruction surgery I got in 2005.
If you pop stitches, you are likely to have nerve damage in that area that may not heal ever. Happened to me.
Not everyone scars the same. Some people have cheloid scars, but some barely scar at all--and it depends on where the injury is, how deep it is, how it was treated, whether it got infected, etc.
Most tiny wounds that are inconsequential, like if you nick yourself shaving, get mildly infected. That's where the swelling and itching comes from. Uninfected wounds don't really do that.
If you get hypothermia even once, your body actually adapts by pulling body heat (i.e. blood) into your core more! Unfortunately this means you no longer handle heat all that well. This is what is meant by "your blood thickens" when people are talking about acclimating to moving to a colder climate. I have never heard of the adaptation going the other way.
Your broken bones also scar, and you are going to feel the pain every time the barometric pressure changes for the rest of your life.
You get arthritis in the joints you use the most first.
People who do sports or otherwise push their bodies' abilities to the limit (so, fighters and performers as well) get chronic pain earlier and need replacement joints earlier. People who do the splits often need replacement hips by their forties (Prince, Katya). Athletes and performers have some of the worst chronic injuries imaginable, because they don't STOP when they get injured.
