10 Bone Fracture Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #10: Pale Appearance
The color of our skin can tell people a great deal about our health overall. We should usually have a healthy glow, which comes from the blood flowing just beneath our skin. If the blood is not flowing so close to the surface, however, then we will likely lose a lot of that color.
Breaking a large bone can cause the patient to go into shock, and this can cause the blood to withdraw from the surface. This can cause the patient to became far paler than they usually are while their skin can also become clammy to the touch. It could also be a sign of losing a lot of blood, which can be dangerous.
