Can anyone tell me what the difference between a sprain, fracture, and break is? I'm meaning symptom-wise.

Question

With a sprain, you feel pain. But if you have numbness or tingling, your ankle is most likely broken.

And a fracture is like a crack in the bone.

I was thinking a sprain was more of stretching of the tissue that surrounds the outer layer of ur bone causing pain for a human

that fracture was just like not a broken bone but more like a craking in the bone but it's still somewhat connected so not completely broken (I'd say partially broken)

But I like the other users answer to the word "Fracture"

And I thought breaking in the bone would just mean that the bone is split into half, and the broken-off half is disconnected from the full bone.

Google could help u though

Ok how to tell a sprain from a fracture :

Ex: Chris thinks his ankle is fractured when he walks his ankle hurts, when he massages his ankle it hurts, is his ankle fractured or broken?

A sprain is more of stretching or tearing of the tissue that surrounds the outer layer of ur bone causing this could cause you slight but bearable pain.

A fracture is more of a u cant feel type of thing sometimes unless u prolly touch it and there is swelling or is super fragile where the bone is fractured at. You'll most likely feel a fracture when u put pressure on the injury.

So possibly Chri's ankle is most likely (Fractured).

(DO u get this? Ik its a suckish explanation but ya know I'm trying)
