The three most common signs of broken bone are pain (at site of broken bone) swelling (around the site of broken bone) and deformity. However in some cases it is difficult to tell whether the bone is broken or not there are some common signs of broken bone like if you have broken bone you will hear a cramp noise of bone being broken, another sign is broken bone always followed by swelling, bruising and tenderness nature or you may feel pain in putting weight at the injury site or pain while touching or pressing it. You may also feel faint, dizzy while having a broken bone is a result of shock of breaking bone. If the break is small these symptoms will be less and pain will be less so it’s difficult to identify and diagnose breaking bone but long term pain at a particular site while movement or weight bearing can result in broken bone. Get medical help as soon as possible if you have a broken bone or even feel like it. Call an ambulance 999 you don’t have to leave this situation. Till the ambulance came just hold the broken bone aligned and cast something on it so it is aligned also tight to avoid secondary complications. If you do not take correct treatment on time you will develop serious infection or any kind of permanent deformity you will regret for life. It’s important not to eat or drink anything as for treating your broken bone doctor will give you general anesthesia to realign it at its original position. Older people and those with osteoporosis should be really careful as they are more prone to getting broken bones; their bones are already weak and fragile. Remember at times of broken cracks you hear just stop any bleeding apply pressure to the wound with a sterile bandage, a clean cloth. Try to immobilize the injured area do not try to realign the bone on your own it can cause serious complications. Apply icepacks to limit swelling and relieve pain. Treat for bone shock accordingly. Bones are very flexible and can withstand a lot of physical force. A broken bone or fractured bone can repair itself with proper treatment that enhances healing of bone completely usually it takes 5 to 6 days after injury to reduce swelling and inflammation.
