10 Bone Fracture Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #4: Grating Sensation
We don’t usually experience problems with friction in our bodies, at least not until we get old. Our joints are usually well lubricated and have soft cartilage to help cushion the joints. If you were to break a bone, though, then you might experience friction in a way you have never done before.
If a bone breaks then it can leave two jagged edges. These edges will usually still be held close to each other at the point of the break and, in some cases, movement can cause them to rub against each other. The area is already likely to be very sensitive after the break, and the friction can cause an agonizing grating sensation.
