Why do we feel pain when we break our bones?!


Question: Why do we feel pain when we break our bones!?
I realize bones are filled with marrow and are therefore living but I was wondering if the pain we feel when we break our bones was from the bone or the muscle tissue surrounding the bone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
There is a layer of tissue over the top of the bone called periosteum, in that layer there are more pain receptors per square millimeters than anywhere in the body!. When a bone breaks the periosteum tears, resulting in severe pain!. this is oversimplified, however, you get the general idea!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

tiny nerves tearing apart as they detach from the shifting bone and muscle!. many tiny nerves, pulling larger ones, straining them, possibly damaging them tooWww@Answer-Health@Com

its from the pain receptors scattered throughout the membrane covering and inside the bone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
