why doctors press harder (on a fracture) when you tell them it hurts?

Pretty much the title. I’ve had 2 fractures and every time I visited an Orthopedic, they’d press on the bone so hard I would tear up. I’ve always wondered why. Thanks!

part of treatment for a fracture is assessing is realignment is gonna be necessary.

Yeah its gonna hurt, but its gonna hurt more if the bone is allowed to heal out of position.
