10 Bone Fracture Symptoms

Symptom #6: Swelling
From the surface, it might not look as though much is going on at the site of an injury. Go beneath the skin, though, and zoom in a lot closer and you will get to see that there is a great deal going on. The wound will need to be repaired and the body will send a lot of supplies and assistance to do the job.
An injury means that there will be a surge in the number of white blood cells and other resources in the area of the damage. This will cause the area to become swollen due to so many fluids carrying supplies being concentrated in the area. The swelling will subside in time as repairs are carried out on the site.
