'getting unexplained injuries' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'i'm at stag bash' is the wordplay.
'bash' is an anagram indicator.
'im'+'at'+'stag'='imatstag'
'imatstag' with letters rearranged gives 'STIGMATA'.

(Other definitions for stigmata that I've seen before include "Marks resembling Christ's wounds" , "Distinguishing marks; the wounds of Christ" , "Mercian king who built dyke" , "Marks corresponding to the wounds on Christ's body" , "Christ's marks of crucifixion" .)
