So say you just been hit by a car and it snaps your ankle or your shin gets fractured or you’re being chased and you get your abdomen hurt or cut. How does adrenaline even let you just get up and go when under normal circumstances your body / brain would refuse to let you do anything with that part of the body.
What Im more specifically asking is how dose your adrenaline make debilitating injuries non debilitating for a short period of time, is there some biomechanical thing that happens or is it just as simple as your brain just ignoring the fact that it’s debilitating and should stop you instantly.
And what in saying is It doesn’t make sense how when you get an injury like what I said before with your ankle or shin or any vital biomechnical group that helps with movement that you can continue on as if it were still in perfect or near similar condition when you should instantly move differently and or adapt to what injuries you’ve sustained instead of just for example getting up from a bike crash and walking for a few seconds before collapsing or running away before falling down afterwards because you broke something in your legs.
In: Biology
Technically speaking, you can walk with broken ankle, and while it won’t function as good, it’ll mostly do its job. It’s just a *very* bad idea, because it’ll almost certainly make your injury much worse than it is. Your body really doesn’t want that, so it hurts to discourage you from doing so.
Life-or-death situations where adrenaline is involved are different. No matter how bad it is, worsening your injury, even to the point where it’ll *almost* certainly kill you later, is **much** better than dying right now.
