    I dunno, I’ve fractured several bones. I’d say you will know. Like dad said about karate movies, one hit, that’s a broken bone, he’d be down.

    When you break shit, it no longer functions. Doesn’t need to be a compound fracture, even a green-stick fracture will stop you cold.

      I’m not talking a clean break. I’ve definitely never had that (and I’ve been through the ringer, believe me - concussion with amnesia and a torn mcl).

      I’m talking about hairline fractures that didn’t debilitate me, but were likely due to the sheer amount of pain, bruising, and swelling.
