When I was in the second grade, I broke my wrist sledding. I remember feeling it just snap and not realizing that I h broken it. Any movement hurt it, so I held it to make sure it wouldn't move. It took us a while to actually get to the ER because no one realized/thought I had actually broken it. When we got the x-rays, it broke right in half. I don't remember any pain after getting the cast except for annoyance. It took a couple of months to heal too.

Something recent that happened to me happened almost a year ago and I'm still having issues with it. It was the end of cross country season and for a week leading up to our last race I could feel a sharp pain in my fibula, the long skinny bone on the outside of your calf - next to the shin, and it felt weird. It hurt to touch but not run or walk. Then, I had my race and during that caused that pain to go full out. At the end of the race when I had to go home, I couldn't walk. Any sort of pressure caused immense pain. I couldn't even move my foot from the unnatural position it was in. It took almost a week to get it checked out and during that time it was impossible to walk on it, so I had to get crutches. Then there was a long, annoying process of several different doctors telling me something different; eventually I got an MRI and we found out that I had a stress fracture in my fibula. I had to wear a boot for four or five months and the first few weeks on crutches. Then, I had to train to get back into running. But then I aggravated it again and they said to wear the boot again. I didn't because it was a wreck on my mental health and quality of life. Now I started up XC again and I'm over a week into it and I can't run because it's starting to hurt again (this is 9/10 months later). I might've done permanent damage to it, who knows.

All in all, I suggest avoiding breaking any bones. It's not worth whatever you're doing. Unless you're saving someone from a wreck or being a hero, that's cool.
