Is it possible to break a bone without it hurting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In general, no.: Pain is always a matter of perception, and some individuals feel very little while others aere very sensitive to painful stimuli. A fracture or broken bone is usually very painful. However, a fracture that is not subject to heavy loads may not be painful until stessed.
