I seriously doubt it was broken if you thought it was “fine”. I’ve broken an unknown number fingers, toes, ribs, right arm (x2), and my femur. In every case, it was crippling, as in, that body part no go no more.
Had at least one concussion, little harder to judge those.
Guy was chewing me out on the phone, wanted my manager’s name.
“Uh…” (His office door with his name plate was directly behind my desk.) “Uh…”
“You mean to tell me you don’t know your own manager’s name?!”
“Give me a break! I got in a motorcycle wreck yesterday and got a concussion, feeling a little dumb right now.”
“Oh shit man! I’m so sorry. Didn’t meant to go off like that.”

Not common, but that can definitely happen, especially if it’s only a partial fracture. I’ve had a few broken bones myself, and I’m with you: completely debilitating pain, zero ability to do things like hold weight.
I worked with a nurse that got fer foot rolled over by a patient gurney near the end of her shift. A few f-bombs later, and she limped her way to the locker room, changed, and went home, saying she’d surely be fine after some ibuprofen and sleep.
Next day she limped her way through an entire shift.
Then another entire shift. All the while we were joking at her about like breaking her spine then continuing to carry the groceries inside, shit like that.
…day three she shows up on one of those kneeling-scooter-things and a bulky splint on her foot/lower leg. Looks down all sheepishly “It was still hurting, so I went to urgent care. They x-rayed it… y’all were right: it’s fucking broken!” …fucker worked two shifts with a spiral fracture on her 5th metatarsal. She said it just felt sore.
Either she’s a badass or I’m a little bitch (bit of both maybe), cuz I’d have rode an office chair or something all the way to the ER immediately after that first incident if that was me.
70-year old neighbor lady just found out she broke a bone in her arm… 3 months ago. She said it was sore but fine, got only worried after 3 months that she couldn’t lift that much weight with it or lift her arm over her head -.- she had a black and blue arm for a week, we told her to get it checked! Even worse: she is a retired doctor -.-
Yep. I broke my wrist, pretty much the same thing happened. I figured I just pinched a nerve, was going about my shit until I finally got badgered into going and getting an X-Ray.

Turns out, broken. Whoops.
