Whenever breaking a bone or spraining something or things of that nature, PTs and orthopedists always say “if it doesn’t hurt it’s fine.”
What would be scenarios where pain (or lack thereof) DOESN’T properly let you know if something is fully healed or injured or not?

Not really. Pain is really subjective and can make your body send out different chemicals to counteract it in certain ways (like shock) and it’s generally not that accurate.
It’s like comparing a papercut to breaking something, sometimes breaking a whole ass bone doesn’t hurt much, but yet a papercut can bring you to your knees.
