Broken Bone Symptoms

The following are general SYMPTOMS OF A BROKEN BONE:

• Exquisite pain when you move or touch the broken area.
• Bruising of the skin over the area of the break as in A above.
• Shortening of the limb.
• Snapping sound at injury.
• Unable to support your weight standing in fractures from the waist down.
• Something hard pushing up the skin or through it.

The shortening of broken limbs shown in B above happens because your bones are connected to muscles. When a bone snaps, the two ends can be pulled past each other by the muscles still attached.
