Bit of a silly question but i always wondered..
 

What is the difference if you sprain your arm, fracture your arm, or break your arm? and which would the most painful :love:

sprains are to do with muscles I think, whereas breaks are bones (obviously). Not really sure what's unique about fractures.

I've wondered this too. :blush2:

because i "fractured" my wrist last year, and it was the most painful thing ever, but i still don't watch actually happened to it and why it was different from a sprain or a break?

I think a fracture is more of a crack in the bone more than an actual break (I think anyway):joker:

somebodies gonna google the answer and then act like they knew it...

dw Zippy we will know there lying :love:

spain is just when you tear something i think
break is obviously break
and i always just thought fracture was just a fancy word for break:joker:

Sprain = just a muscular thing. According to Wikipedia, its and injury "..of joints that is caused by being stretched beyond their oversized capacity and possibly more."

Fracture = Crack in a bone.

Break = Pretty self explanatory.

:worship:

Spain's a country, I'm sure

I said that already:nono:

You never described all three of them. :nono:

Shaun said what a sprain was and I gave the difference between a break and a fracture:nono:

-Niamh and I form a surgery-

-orders Niall to take urine samples and stay out of the Doctors lounge-

there's not a huge cash prize at stake, Niamh

I was told a fracture hurts more than a break. No idea why but it's apparently true. Having said that I fractured my arm in two places once and wasn't fussed in the slightest. Infact I only took myself to hospital for the attention :joker: They put me in plaster but I took it off about a fortnight later

well i fractured my wrist and the pain was unbearable!

:laugh2:
