for example would spraining your ankle hurt worse or less then breaking it?
Answer:Years ago I fell down a flight of concrete stairs. No breaks, but the damage to the muscles, tissue and tendons was unbelievably painful.
Six years ago I missed a step and fell two steps on a stair case and snapped my ankle. It did not hurt at all until after the surgery to put it back together.
The Doctor didn't even believe it was broken due to the lack of pain.
generally a sprain or muscle pull hurts worse
I only heard that spraining something is worse than breaking something. It seems that if you break something it usually heals faster. If you sprain it and you use that part of the body, you keep hurting it so it never gets better. Usually when you break something, its in a cast or something so you dont use it and it gets better faster.
they both hurt
sprain more so because you dont have a solid
cast on it to protect you when you walk
Its going to hurt either way!!!!!! But anyways it would hurt more if you sprang it!! I don't know on personal experience!! But that's what I heard!!
sprain hurts more, alot more
I broke my ankle and the pain was 10 times worse than the 2 times that I sprained it. Luckily they gave me vicodin.
