A member asked:

How painful is it to break an arm or leg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends : All breaks are different and peoples response to pain is different. Bottom line, it usually hurts and how much, depends on location and type of break. One cannot say hat if i can walk, it is not broken.
