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!

A bone breaks with force and the bone aligns with force. Your doc aligns it and plasters with pressure so that it doesn’t look crooked once your bone is rejoined.
