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?

When I snapped my arm in half it didn’t hurt at all. Nerve damage can lead to no pain, and is pretty serious. Disease such as leprosy can lead to lack of pain, leading to unnoticed injuries and infections.
