5. Pain
Typically, fracturing a bone is extremely painful. Periodically, a fractured bone will merely present with mild discomfort. Most often, the injured area of the bone will give off some sort of painful response. The level of pain will depend on the severity of the break. Often, the area of the injury will be too painful to allow any movement. If a broken bone doesn’t puncture the skin, and the pain level is moderate to mild, it may be hard to understand that medical attention may be needed.
Pain that comes and goes is also recurrent with buckle fracture injuries. Any amount of pressure placed on the break can trigger severe pain. Buckle fractures, in particular, are almost always extremely painful.
Buckle fractures affect one side of the bone and more often than not, don’t break the skin. When a bone is broken in this matter, the swelling and pressure cause intense pain.
