6 months ago, I was at a fluorescent party. I was dancing in the wrong place at the wrong time, and I was stabbed in the eye by a glow stick someone was waving around. This resulted in a 1cm corneal abrasion, which was every bit as painful as it sounds. I showed up at the hospital, right eye tearing profusely, vision in that eye blurry, and in agony. In the 3 hour wait to be seen by the doctor, I wondered how many weeks or months this would take to heal. This injury occurred at 2am in the morning. By the evening, so about 18 hours later, the pain had already stopped and my vision was almost back to normal. The next day, I had almost zero pain and my vision was almost normal in that eye. Absolutely no trace of the injury 36 hours later. It's AMAZING how quick the cornea heals. Even a cut of that size would've taken days to heal. The cornea is truly a remarkable tissue. The most sensitive and densely innervated of any tissue, and also the fastest to heal, and paramount for our survival. No tissue like it.
@@chippygr01 Man, I guess it's been about 10 years now. My limp isn't quite as bad as it used to be but I still can't carry heavy things up a steep incline easily.

I sprained an ankle in 2010. Last time I remember having a noticeable flare-up of pain from that injury was like 2019. That's aside from smaller problems like how that joint pops pretty frequently whereas the other ankle never does.
I broke my arms in June. My right arm was a nice, clean fracture, no dislocation, and it was fine in August. Left arm was a nasty open fracture; it has healed but required surgery, and the shoulder isn't quite all there yet, possibly because of the hardware in my arm. Even if they do open it up to remove it again, it'll still recover faster than a sprain would've.. In conclusion, any injury hard to recommend, 0/10, hard skip.
I've sprained both my ankles over 10 years ago during childhood and occasionally when going down stairs if I over extent my feet I feel sharp pain and my ankles tend to want to give out
My little sister's arm was dislocated once, and fractured once, the broken arm was when she was young, she fell off the couch playing the floor is lava, I honestly don't know how, but it broke and she was taken to the hospital, where she soon was okay, her bone healed, now for the dislocation, it was my little brother's birthday party, we rented a bouncy castle and my mum invited the others, while in the bouncy castle my sister was playing, when she lied down on the ground(like some kids do idk I did it sometimes) but some little shit had the nerve to jump on to her, which ended up dislocating her arm, she was again taken to the hospital so they can relocate it, and you bet the little bastard went to his mother crying after my sister told be what happened(this happened in 2016, I was 10 at the time, the kid was also 10)
This is anecdotal but i once sprained my wrist while working out. It took about 1.5 years for the pain to stop. It wasn't debilitating, thank god. Just a constant dull ache. I think research into ligament and cartilage repair needs more funding.
Nerds usually don't play sports or go into the trades as much and those in medicine don't care and down play the amount of rest required in the beginning (thanks corporate America) before starting up progressive load management.
There are peptides called BPC157 and TB500 that can speed up recovery; they're quite commonly used by bodybuilders, and probably drug-tested athletes too but you'll only ever hear about the ones who are caught since they're banned by WADA (for God knows what reason since they're not anabolic). Couple these with collagen peptides and a GH secretagogue like MK-677 and you'll heal much quicker. Sadly there doesn't seem to be much interest by the medical community in researching these as approved therapeutics.
@@legendariersgaming the problem with medical research is that you don’t make money unless you succeed in discovering something. There is no direct need for medical research, which makes it hard to justify spending millions on research. That’s why medical research needs to be governmentally funded, and taxed as well. Discovering one thing can set you for life, which is not right
Broke my arms 3 times, and sprainked my anke once. I'll take 3 broken bones over a sprained ankle any time of the decade. It legit took me like half a year to be able to do physical work (not run, mind you. but be able to lift stuff that didn't weight much), and probably a year to be pretty close to "normal" with the occasional slight pain every now and then when overworked.
I’ve never broken a bone- most likely due to my genetic connective tissue disorder. Instead of breaking, everything around that bone stretches or tears instead. So I lost count of how many bad sprains I had by the time I was like 7. I was always told I was so lucky when it turned out to be “just a bad sprain” and not broken. This video is very validating.
@@Arch_rblx except, as the video talks about, it takes way longer to heal all the other stuff than to heal a bone… and no one takes it as seriously as a broken bone. And faster recovery time is expected. This was not ideal when I was a gymnast 😂 (especially because we had no idea of the genetic connective tissue disorder at the time.)
I've broken a bone before. I have high pain resistance and threshold so it was easy for me to deal with it. I would rather deal with a broken bone since it takes less time to heal. Most people would rather deal with less pain and have it heal slower though. I can't talk for everyone since some people can't deal with a lot of pain.
@@Warlord_Megatron i injured mine at the gym when i was being careless and pulled my left wrist and it made a pop. its been getting better but not fully recovered
i literally sprained my ankle ligament and I was in so much pain. The doctor was like "it's not that big of a deal and I should probably just go rest at home" but my parents insisted to at least do something. I couldn't walk for a couple of days but then the doctor kept on assuring my parents that I could walk on a boot. It was so painful and weird to walk on a boot at first then I got a bit better. The doctor then told me to remove the boot and walk normally. Everything was fine until I realized that I couldn't turn my ankle right or left. I also couldn't run or jump. We went to a different doctor which told us that I had a serious injury that had been wrongly treated and this made the injury even worse. I was never meant to walk on the boot... To this day it hurts sometimes while playing sports but I'm still under treatment to help my ankle. By the way, this happened back on November 3 and because of the first doctor, I'm still trying to treat my ankle... I could've avoided all this if I didnt go to the first doctor.
Most of athlete that I recognize didn't perform at the same level as before, when they comeback from a ligament tear. Or it at least take years to fully recover. I hope with science today, we and especially can learn how to minimize ligament injuries in certain situation. I wish everyone a speedy recovery from both ligament tear and bone fracture as well as other disease. May peace be upon you 🙏
one amazing comeback from bad leg injuries and surgeries is an american football player named adrian peterson, you should check him out, he had a great careeer as a running back and his comeback was impressive.
Can vouch for this. One ligament injury in my knee took almost two years to fully heal back to full flexibility and strength and one in my ankle took nearly a year. Of course, leg injuries can be slow since you can't exactly stay off them for months on end. Meanwhile, I've broken three bones and never had a healing process longer than 6 weeks, and once healed, the limb was as good as new.
Yep, broke my wrist twice and took 2 months to heal at most and I was completely fine after. Tore my acl and I’m gonna have problems for the rest of my life
Dealing with knee injury since 3 months. Most of the pain has dissipated but trying to exert force either to lift weight or take a long flight of stairs or even kick starting a motorbike aggravates the pain. Though it subsides quickly, i wonder if it can be as good as before.
A lot of people let their injuries control them rather than controlling their injuries. I had a buddy who sprained his ankle BAD 10 years ago and he said his ankle still feels weaker. He never did anything to properly restrengthen it and give it the load it requires to get back to good health. Of course, after 2-3 months of working on it, he likes to say "I can't even remember which ankle I sprained!" Lol.
my father got into a minor accident on 2 wheeler back in May 23 and his leg was injured ; everybody was saying " thank god it isn't a fracture" cause my father had a ligament injury but it made things so difficult for him and now I understand why
SO many people here in this comment section have told about their injuries. I just want to say that I wish you all the best and I truly feel sorry for you
I've heard of some doctors using dextrose therapy and injecting this liquid nutrition solution around the sprain area. I didn't get it at first but this video has helped me understand. To all your healing tissues, I say bone Appétit!
completely ruptured my acl at 15. was told by my gp that it was 'probably a sprain" even though I couldn't walk. ran around for two months until I tore my meniscus as well. ended up getting reconstructive surgery and went through the 1 year recovery and rehab process. a few months past the 1 year minimum, I start sports again, trip on another player and tear my acl and meniscus AGAIN. had another knee surgery, had to have two surgeons and the surgery still took nearly twice as long due to how screwed up my knee was. i now have 4 decently sized scars scattered around my knee, and another three dots for 'keyholes'. thank goodness for insurance COMPLETELY BANNED FROM SPORTS AT 17. I mean, I could technically do sports, but now the risk of me tearing something is even higher. and I never want to go through the pain of surgery and not being able to walk for two months again. even worse than the physical pain and mental dullness from painkillers, just having that freedom of walking taken away from you is just a different kind of mental pain, to be honest. I've never broken any bones myself (yet) but from what I've seen? the damage seems a lot less permanent/expensive to fix :')
Yeah. The “bone marrow stimulation” approach to cartilage repair surgery is… literally as crude as drilling a hole on the nearby bone so blood floods it. It can also happen naturally when the cartilage gets thin enough to rub up the bone. Regardless, this quick-fix new fibrocartilage is not as good as the original hydraline one and will break more often :(
you must have a cart ilage of puns but it really doesn't get under my skin so, so be it my brane vs membrane. _heh_ memento mori my friend what good skelepuns like there 's probably a skeleton I marrowly missed.
I tore my ACL 7 months ago and I can confirm it. I got operated on 3 months ago, but they gave me 11 months to get back to sports. I would've preferred to break several bones rather than the ACL.
Two years ago I had a labral tear and a supraspinatus tear surgically repaired in my right shoulder, and it STILL doesn’t feel/operate the same as it did before. Just last summer I also had to repair my right hip labrum which I am also still recovering from. If for any future injuries I have the choice of a bone fracture or more torn connective tissue I’m picking bone fractures.
There was also a reference to Undertale in the scene with the red cornea, the small child with the purple/blue striped sweater and the flower with a face.
When i had my rotator cuff injury docs told me ligaments were like rubber bands, stretch them out enough and they'll lose it's shape. Protect your body and stay fit!
I broke my wrist a while ago, and it didn't hurt at all, i just said "Oh, I broke my wrist." and proceeded to walk to the hospital while making jokes and secretly thankful I didn't have to go to school. Broken bone pain is overrated.
I fractured my left hand once, and sprained my ankle like 4 times (yes, I am clumsy). Between the two, sprains are definitely more painful during the healing process than just having a cast and waiting it to heal to be completely fine later on.
Can confirm; broken several bones and had some serious sprains. Breaks are so damn much easier to recover from, and a serious sprain in a joint like you knee can outright take months to heal from, even after surgery.
damn i can barely find people who pointed out the fact that frisk and flowey were in this video as viewing subjects for the eye with a blood filled cornea
Without watching the video: Bone breaking heals stronger. While joints-muscle tears may not even fully heal I heard this from my therapist after two surgeries. Close enough?
Huh, that's good to know! And I guess makes sense if my own lived experience. I've broken a bone twice in my life-- the same bone, in very nearly the same location, about 15-20y apart. My childhood broken bone was a bit irritating with the cast, and I was calm enough about it that the school nurse didn't believe me at first. For those years, the only difference between arms was a very minor range of motion deficit in the healed broken arm. The second time, I fell not from standing up but 10ft up a rock climbing wall. The radial head broke off and rotated 90° inside my arm (no skin broken), and probably affected quite a bit of soft tissue in doing that. The surgery required to put it back in place def affected a lot, too. Now, even after physical therapy, that arm is permanently affected-- range of motion and strength, both in major ways. As far as I can tell, the bone itself is back to normal, but those ligaments, or tendons, or... I'm not exactly sure what all was affected-- they're as healed as they're every going to be, as far as I know.
Maybe my ortho was useless with that information, I snapped a 1-2” section out of my collar bone, my pcp ignored me for 2 weeks before getting me to a ortho after my pain pills ran out. He said I should have had pins but too late then to do it.. Anyways it took me over 6 months of healing before I could put regular weight onto it, and over a year before I started lifting weights. Still hurts to directly touch and it’s been 3 years. I’m guessing I tore ligaments or something of the such when it happened. Everyone said bones were quick, 6 weeks.. not even close. Also like you I didn’t show much pain when went to urgent care so they also ignored me for 2 hours. Also a tip for anyone that breaks a bone, absolutely do not go to urgent care, go to a hospital only. Should have sued for malpractice in my case was that bad of treatment
Yikes, that's awful, I'm so sorry to hear it. I'll second emergency room at a hospital for broken bone. My arm was visibly a bit weird maybe, but initial check by ER docs didn't even think it was broken. And I had to fight insurance too, bc my primary care wanted to schedule an appt a month out to approve the emergency surgery necessary that ER wanted done the next day or so... So yeah, agreed with above, to anyone who reads this: urgent care is not for broken bones or anything that might remotely need surgery. Go to the ER. And get someone to drive you there if you're not currently getting worse/ need EMT support, US Healthcare WILL bill you for an ambulance trip.
Freshman year of high school, I tore one of the ligaments in my right knee resulting in a dislocation. 2 weeks unable to walk, months before being able to walk at a normal speed as well as gaining the strength to go upstairs normally, and over a year before I could run and comfortably jump. I'm doing better now in my junior year, joints give me issues but I'm good as gold.
I was playing football when I heard and felt a pop from my knee with immediate pain, that was the end of the game for me. It's been over a year and I still regular feel major discomfort, and at times pain from the outer-side and base of my knee. I'm blindly hoping it'll eventually go away, but seeing other comments with people feeling the effects of their injuries a decade later on, I'm less so.
SO TRUE!!!! I had a bad ankle sprain when I tripped running down stairs in College. I told the doctor "at least it isn't broken" and he told me it would have been better if I had broken it as a break would have healed better and faster. Still to this day (40 years after the injury) that ankle is "loose" and it can easily fold over and sprain again.
When my foot shattered in 10 places, I was still able to walk a year later (after 2 surgeries with metal in my foot and an external fixator to help it grow properly). Sprained my rotator cuff over a decade ago, and to this day I still cannot lift that arm above my head. I've broken many other bones, but none were my spine, thankfully, so I haven't lost my range of motion or range of applicable force from any of those incidents. Bones can, and usually do, repair themselves pretty quickly. The damage to tendons and ligaments, however, is essentially permanent. Even if a snapped or torn tendon were reconnected, unlike bones, they will never be as strong as they once were. Bones, on the other hand, can often become stronger than they were before. So, yes, I'd rather break a bone over spraining a ligament ANY DAY.
Omg this helped explain why when my cornea got scratched as a kid, i got into a fight and he had long nails, it didn't take long for my eye to heal. I will say this tho, it was still really difficult to open it as any direct light made me scream with pain so i had to wear an eye patch. It only took 3 days tho so it wasn't very long but i missed the xmas party for my school that time because the doctor told me to stay in my house for the 3 days if possible.
I really wish that the next evolutionary step for human kind will be a better blood fllow to ligaments, I hate having to sit for weeks or months every time I hurt my ankle, plus the chronic pain in my knee and the total loss of stability in my shoulder.
I'm making a list of all references seen here! If there's something I missed, comment! 0:02 the character's number is 42, likely the meaning of life 0:06 I thnk I recognise the font that "speed" is in, but I'm not sure 0:43 the fats are Adipose from Doctor Who (David Tennant) 0:44 the minerals are Magnemite pokemon 1:39 the character is wearing Bisexual Pride colours! 1:44 The Planet Express ship and home from Futurama, in New New York 2:12 The Flower is Flowey from Undertale, coloured 2:24 The cornea has Fludd from Super Mario Sunshine
While the term sprain is certainly accurate, I feel like it'd be a good idea to incorporate the common misconception that spraining a ligament is just "pulling it," as many people may get confused Otherwise, incredibly informative video with great illustrations, thank you for making this.
As someone who has done both I'd rather do neither. But also I'm very very glad my ligaments survived when I broke my spine because it stayed in place and I can still walk and feel (yay) [Edit]: But also my broken spine will never ever truly heal so who knows at that point
The eye: the cornea has no direct blood supply so you don't see red. Neat, eh? Also the eye: yeah, I put blood vessels on top of the retina, which you can even see if you try. What about it?
This year I had a tendon cut in my finger (yeah, it was nasty). I was lucky it was a sharp clean cut, but it has been a good 5 months and I am told it will take another 5 months to completely heal.
Wish the Irish dance world understood this. We’re often told to take time to rest and fully heal when we break a bone but to push through the pain and get back up when there’s a sprain without letting it heal properly. I sprained my foot when I was a junior in high school, and I still have a ton of pain and flare ups now as I’m about halfway through college because of that awful mindset. Something about the stigma of it being “just a sprain” makes it seem less serious than a broken bone
People should just refuse to strain the leg if the sprain is bad, and I certainly would. When I sprained my ankle for real I'm sure I would rather die than get up and run on my injured leg. But in my case my ankle swelled to double its normal size and I couldn't walk for weeks, and was not back to normal for probably at least half a year, not necessarily every sprain is that bad. I think you know instinctively when an injury is very bad versus just minor. But that practice needs to change and people there need to be informed it messes up your healing. Some people are easily manipulated, and they need extra protection from things like that. Maybe you could help people there by just informing them how important that healing process is.
I have both broken a bone and torn a ligament, and I can wholeheartedly say that damaging a ligament was MUCH worse. I broke my wrist on a trampoline. I landed on my wrist weirdly, which resulted in me partially crushing my lunate if I remember correctly. Of course, it hurt terribly, but that's what you would expect. I had my cast made water safe, so I could shower and swim perfectly fine. I could live my life almost normally in the 6 weeks I had my cast on. On the other hand, or foot I might say (hahaha verrry funnnnny) tearing a ligament in my foot (I don't remember which one) was both significantly more painful and has left me with lasting effects over 4 years after that prevent me from exercising like a normal person and I have to do special stretches to help repair it. Hopefully within the next couple years will it mend fully This video doesn't outright say what is worse, so take it from someone who has experienced both extremes that ligament injuries are MUCH. MUCH. WORSE.
I can say from my experience, a grade 2 sprain (which is not a complete tear) is miles worse than a broken bone. Also there may be factors in the makeup of your body that prevent such an injury from healing. Break a bone.
This one video made me realize that I've never learned a lot of biology in school, because the learning materials were of a lousy quality. This short video made more sense, and taught me more about the anatomy, than a whole semester of biology in elementary... Awesome job, kudos to the animators!
Its to gain strength back and it promotes bloodflow. You rest when it hurts. When it doesn't hurt as much you exercise with methods like a bicycle machine and then isometric and eccentric exercises with high reps. But not to the point of pain.
I had an injury from soccer at my knee, tearing or spraining a few ligaments and destroying part of the cartilage under the kneecap and making my life total hell. I was on crutches for 2 months, physical therapy for another 3 months, and I still could not run until a full 7 months. It's now been 13 months since the initial injury, and I still don't feel at my best. Don't get knee injuries guys.
Wait so, could one theoretically inject nutrients and such right next to the ACL in order to help it help faster/at all??? I imagine even low doses over the course of several weeks could help substantially, but I've never heard about treatment for such a thing :x
Healing doesn't just take added nutrients, it als requires that the waste products flush away. It is more complicated than that, but basically what you need is a flow of some kind of carrier fluid full of nutrients and empty of trash that can drop off nutrients and pick up the trash. The problem with injections is twofold: They damage tissue, causing more trash, and they add the risk of infection. If I had to come up with a new treatment I would say: Bloodthinners. But those come with massive risks of their own. I'll let actual specialists do the dangerous work of figuring out better treatments.
I have always had ligament related injuries, a lot, but no broken bone, so I always thought breaking a bone was way worse, until some time ago that I felt like researching, good video
It kind of depends on the break. I shattered my ankle over 15 years ago and it still hurts. If you need rods and screws to reassemble bones, they'll never play nice together.
U shattered it it cant heal its like if u split something in two u can still glue it together but if its shattered into many pieces how TF ARE U SUPPOSED TO FIX IT
Watching this just 2 months after my surgery to repair a broken ACL, that would never heal otherwise, while also last week I broke a small piece of the upper part of my tibia. The video feels so connected with me 🤣 Deffinitely guys: better break your bones rather than your ligaments, I can tell you first hand
Yup I too can tell, torn MCL and ACL pain >>>>>>>> broken collarbone pain. Plus, at least the collarbone heals on its own, now I cannot play any sports except maybe golf unless I have surgery and a full year of rehab for my left knee...
Great video! Really helped me decide if I should break my bone or my ligament. Really useful information, I will pass it on to others and try to encourage them to break their bones too. Thank you!

My little sister's arm was dislocated once, and fractured once, the broken arm was when she was young, she fell off the couch playing the floor is lava, I honestly don't know how, but it broke and she was taken to the hospital, where she soon was okay, her bone healed, now for the dislocation, it was my little brother's birthday party, we rented a bouncy castle and my mum invited the others, while in the bouncy castle my sister was playing, when she lied down on the ground(like some kids do idk I did it sometimes) but some little shit had the nerve to jump on to her, which ended up dislocating her arm, she was again taken to the hospital so they can relocate it, and you bet the little bastard went to his mother crying after my sister told be what happened(this happened in 2016, I was 10 at the time, the kid was also 10)

Spraining the ligament in my knee disabled me from walking correctly. I still feel the effects to an extent sometimes.
If you don't get surgery you will most probably never be able to even walk again. It will also get worse as you age.
Unfortunately that’s literally just what ligaments are meant to help you with. Bones just don’t work without ligaments to connect them :(

This is anecdotal but i once sprained my wrist while working out. It took about 1.5 years for the pain to stop. It wasn't debilitating, thank god. Just a constant dull ache. I think research into ligament and cartilage repair needs more funding.
Nerds usually don't play sports or go into the trades as much and those in medicine don't care and down play the amount of rest required in the beginning (thanks corporate America) before starting up progressive load management.
@@MasterTaiki Maybe we need to frame it to nerds as researching how to recover from gaming wrist injuries then, lol.
There are peptides called BPC157 and TB500 that can speed up recovery; they're quite commonly used by bodybuilders, and probably drug-tested athletes too but you'll only ever hear about the ones who are caught since they're banned by WADA (for God knows what reason since they're not anabolic). Couple these with collagen peptides and a GH secretagogue like MK-677 and you'll heal much quicker. Sadly there doesn't seem to be much interest by the medical community in researching these as approved therapeutics.
@@MasterTaiki wtf kid, dont even know what youre saying
@@legendariersgaming the problem with medical research is that you don’t make money unless you succeed in discovering something. There is no direct need for medical research, which makes it hard to justify spending millions on research. That’s why medical research needs to be governmentally funded, and taxed as well. Discovering one thing can set you for life, which is not right
Sprained my MCL 4 months ago and it still aches.
I had a knee sprain back when I was a kid and it never healed, hence why I needed to get surgery last year.

Ouch
Going on 2 years over here...
Broke my arms 3 times, and sprainked my anke once. I'll take 3 broken bones over a sprained ankle any time of the decade. It legit took me like half a year to be able to do physical work (not run, mind you. but be able to lift stuff that didn't weight much), and probably a year to be pretty close to "normal" with the occasional slight pain every now and then when overworked.
I’ve never broken a bone- most likely due to my genetic connective tissue disorder. Instead of breaking, everything around that bone stretches or tears instead. So I lost count of how many bad sprains I had by the time I was like 7. I was always told I was so lucky when it turned out to be “just a bad sprain” and not broken. This video is very validating.
Sounds like a Skill to be able to send damage from the bone to the stuff around the bone
@@Arch_rblx except, as the video talks about, it takes way longer to heal all the other stuff than to heal a bone… and no one takes it as seriously as a broken bone. And faster recovery time is expected. This was not ideal when I was a gymnast 😂 (especially because we had no idea of the genetic connective tissue disorder at the time.)
I've broken a bone before. I have high pain resistance and threshold so it was easy for me to deal with it. I would rather deal with a broken bone since it takes less time to heal.
Most people would rather deal with less pain and have it heal slower though. I can't talk for everyone since some people can't deal with a lot of pain.

@@Warlord_Megatron i injured mine at the gym when i was being careless and pulled my left wrist and it made a pop. its been getting better but not fully recovered
Kept your arm up? What does that mean? Why would it help?
i literally sprained my ankle ligament and I was in so much pain. The doctor was like "it's not that big of a deal and I should probably just go rest at home" but my parents insisted to at least do something. I couldn't walk for a couple of days but then the doctor kept on assuring my parents that I could walk on a boot. It was so painful and weird to walk on a boot at first then I got a bit better. The doctor then told me to remove the boot and walk normally. Everything was fine until I realized that I couldn't turn my ankle right or left. I also couldn't run or jump. We went to a different doctor which told us that I had a serious injury that had been wrongly treated and this made the injury even worse. I was never meant to walk on the boot... To this day it hurts sometimes while playing sports but I'm still under treatment to help my ankle. By the way, this happened back on November 3 and because of the first doctor, I'm still trying to treat my ankle... I could've avoided all this if I didnt go to the first doctor.
Most of athlete that I recognize didn't perform at the same level as before, when they comeback from a ligament tear. Or it at least take years to fully recover. I hope with science today, we and especially can learn how to minimize ligament injuries in certain situation. I wish everyone a speedy recovery from both ligament tear and bone fracture as well as other disease. May peace be upon you 🙏

Can vouch for this. One ligament injury in my knee took almost two years to fully heal back to full flexibility and strength and one in my ankle took nearly a year. Of course, leg injuries can be slow since you can't exactly stay off them for months on end. Meanwhile, I've broken three bones and never had a healing process longer than 6 weeks, and once healed, the limb was as good as new.
Cool
Yep, broke my wrist twice and took 2 months to heal at most and I was completely fine after. Tore my acl and I’m gonna have problems for the rest of my life
Dealing with knee injury since 3 months. Most of the pain has dissipated but trying to exert force either to lift weight or take a long flight of stairs or even kick starting a motorbike aggravates the pain. Though it subsides quickly, i wonder if it can be as good as before.
i’ve sprained my ankle many times and i can say that although the pain stops after 2-4 weeks, my foot usually feels weak or loose for months

A lot of people let their injuries control them rather than controlling their injuries. I had a buddy who sprained his ankle BAD 10 years ago and he said his ankle still feels weaker. He never did anything to properly restrengthen it and give it the load it requires to get back to good health. Of course, after 2-3 months of working on it, he likes to say "I can't even remember which ankle I sprained!" Lol.

It’s ok it’s not that bad at all, just dull aches and glitches here and there however I do wish I never missed my season for sports
I've heard of some doctors using dextrose therapy and injecting this liquid nutrition solution around the sprain area. I didn't get it at first but this video has helped me understand. To all your healing tissues, I say bone Appétit!
completely ruptured my acl at 15.
was told by my gp that it was 'probably a sprain" even though I couldn't walk. ran around for two months until I tore my meniscus as well. ended up getting reconstructive surgery and went through the 1 year recovery and rehab process.
a few months past the 1 year minimum, I start sports again, trip on another player and tear my acl and meniscus AGAIN. had another knee surgery, had to have two surgeons and the surgery still took nearly twice as long due to how screwed up my knee was. i now have 4 decently sized scars scattered around my knee, and another three dots for 'keyholes'. thank goodness for insurance
COMPLETELY BANNED FROM SPORTS AT 17. I mean, I could technically do sports, but now the risk of me tearing something is even higher. and I never want to go through the pain of surgery and not being able to walk for two months again. even worse than the physical pain and mental dullness from painkillers, just having that freedom of walking taken away from you is just a different kind of mental pain, to be honest.
I've never broken any bones myself (yet) but from what I've seen? the damage seems a lot less permanent/expensive to fix :')

IS THAT WHY CARTILAGE PIERCINGS TAKE SO LONG TO HEAL?! I was thinking mine never would. I feel so powerful with this new found knowledge
Yeah. The “bone marrow stimulation” approach to cartilage repair surgery is… literally as crude as drilling a hole on the nearby bone so blood floods it. It can also happen naturally when the cartilage gets thin enough to rub up the bone. Regardless, this quick-fix new fibrocartilage is not as good as the original hydraline one and will break more often :(

I tore my ACL 7 months ago and I can confirm it. I got operated on 3 months ago, but they gave me 11 months to get back to sports. I would've preferred to break several bones rather than the ACL.
Two years ago I had a labral tear and a supraspinatus tear surgically repaired in my right shoulder, and it STILL doesn’t feel/operate the same as it did before. Just last summer I also had to repair my right hip labrum which I am also still recovering from. If for any future injuries I have the choice of a bone fracture or more torn connective tissue I’m picking bone fractures.

Broken bone pain is overrated.
I fractured my left hand once, and sprained my ankle like 4 times (yes, I am clumsy). Between the two, sprains are definitely more painful during the healing process than just having a cast and waiting it to heal to be completely fine later on.

My wrist sprain is resurfacing-
Huh, that's good to know! And I guess makes sense if my own lived experience. I've broken a bone twice in my life-- the same bone, in very nearly the same location, about 15-20y apart. My childhood broken bone was a bit irritating with the cast, and I was calm enough about it that the school nurse didn't believe me at first. For those years, the only difference between arms was a very minor range of motion deficit in the healed broken arm.
The second time, I fell not from standing up but 10ft up a rock climbing wall. The radial head broke off and rotated 90° inside my arm (no skin broken), and probably affected quite a bit of soft tissue in doing that. The surgery required to put it back in place def affected a lot, too. Now, even after physical therapy, that arm is permanently affected-- range of motion and strength, both in major ways. As far as I can tell, the bone itself is back to normal, but those ligaments, or tendons, or... I'm not exactly sure what all was affected-- they're as healed as they're every going to be, as far as I know.
Maybe my ortho was useless with that information, I snapped a 1-2” section out of my collar bone, my pcp ignored me for 2 weeks before getting me to a ortho after my pain pills ran out. He said I should have had pins but too late then to do it..
Anyways it took me over 6 months of healing before I could put regular weight onto it, and over a year before I started lifting weights. Still hurts to directly touch and it’s been 3 years. I’m guessing I tore ligaments or something of the such when it happened.
Everyone said bones were quick, 6 weeks.. not even close. Also like you I didn’t show much pain when went to urgent care so they also ignored me for 2 hours.
Also a tip for anyone that breaks a bone, absolutely do not go to urgent care, go to a hospital only. Should have sued for malpractice in my case was that bad of treatment
Yikes, that's awful, I'm so sorry to hear it.
I'll second emergency room at a hospital for broken bone. My arm was visibly a bit weird maybe, but initial check by ER docs didn't even think it was broken. And I had to fight insurance too, bc my primary care wanted to schedule an appt a month out to approve the emergency surgery necessary that ER wanted done the next day or so...
So yeah, agreed with above, to anyone who reads this: urgent care is not for broken bones or anything that might remotely need surgery. Go to the ER. And get someone to drive you there if you're not currently getting worse/ need EMT support, US Healthcare WILL bill you for an ambulance trip.
Testicular torsion
You have a point.
she torsion on my testicles till i fractured ligaments
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
@@Liam-yf7sl Me when testicular torsion: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Freshman year of high school, I tore one of the ligaments in my right knee resulting in a dislocation. 2 weeks unable to walk, months before being able to walk at a normal speed as well as gaining the strength to go upstairs normally, and over a year before I could run and comfortably jump. I'm doing better now in my junior year, joints give me issues but I'm good as gold.
I was playing football when I heard and felt a pop from my knee with immediate pain, that was the end of the game for me. It's been over a year and I still regular feel major discomfort, and at times pain from the outer-side and base of my knee. I'm blindly hoping it'll eventually go away, but seeing other comments with people feeling the effects of their injuries a decade later on, I'm less so.
acl tear you need surgery then it will be fixed
Just reminded me of the time my brother sacked this guy in football and his knee dislocated
SO TRUE!!!! I had a bad ankle sprain when I tripped running down stairs in College. I told the doctor "at least it isn't broken" and he told me it would have been better if I had broken it as a break would have healed better and faster. Still to this day (40 years after the injury) that ankle is "loose" and it can easily fold over and sprain again.
When my foot shattered in 10 places, I was still able to walk a year later (after 2 surgeries with metal in my foot and an external fixator to help it grow properly). Sprained my rotator cuff over a decade ago, and to this day I still cannot lift that arm above my head.
I've broken many other bones, but none were my spine, thankfully, so I haven't lost my range of motion or range of applicable force from any of those incidents. Bones can, and usually do, repair themselves pretty quickly. The damage to tendons and ligaments, however, is essentially permanent. Even if a snapped or torn tendon were reconnected, unlike bones, they will never be as strong as they once were. Bones, on the other hand, can often become stronger than they were before.
So, yes, I'd rather break a bone over spraining a ligament ANY DAY.
Omg this helped explain why when my cornea got scratched as a kid, i got into a fight and he had long nails, it didn't take long for my eye to heal. I will say this tho, it was still really difficult to open it as any direct light made me scream with pain so i had to wear an eye patch. It only took 3 days tho so it wasn't very long but i missed the xmas party for my school that time because the doctor told me to stay in my house for the 3 days if possible.
I really wish that the next evolutionary step for human kind will be a better blood fllow to ligaments, I hate having to sit for weeks or months every time I hurt my ankle, plus the chronic pain in my knee and the total loss of stability in my shoulder.

I tore a ligament and for 8 weeks I was told it was a sprain so now it constantly hurts as it never got surgery
Hence why vampires heal quickly when they drink blood 😂
While the term sprain is certainly accurate, I feel like it'd be a good idea to incorporate the common misconception that spraining a ligament is just "pulling it," as many people may get confused
Otherwise, incredibly informative video with great illustrations, thank you for making this.
I once had a fall where I broke an elbow and sprained an ankle. I'm sure the sprain took longer to stop hurting than the break.
I thought the thumbnail said "which is worse? Broken bone VS Spain", and that would've been even more fitting
As someone who has done both I'd rather do neither. But also I'm very very glad my ligaments survived when I broke my spine because it stayed in place and I can still walk and feel (yay)

Have u tried breaking ur bone too so that the ligament also gets the blood it floods
😀👍
Is it healed yet?
Wish the Irish dance world understood this. We’re often told to take time to rest and fully heal when we break a bone but to push through the pain and get back up when there’s a sprain without letting it heal properly. I sprained my foot when I was a junior in high school, and I still have a ton of pain and flare ups now as I’m about halfway through college because of that awful mindset. Something about the stigma of it being “just a sprain” makes it seem less serious than a broken bone
Thats what happens when you take advice from boomers!
People should just refuse to strain the leg if the sprain is bad, and I certainly would. When I sprained my ankle for real I'm sure I would rather die than get up and run on my injured leg. But in my case my ankle swelled to double its normal size and I couldn't walk for weeks, and was not back to normal for probably at least half a year, not necessarily every sprain is that bad. I think you know instinctively when an injury is very bad versus just minor.
But that practice needs to change and people there need to be informed it messes up your healing. Some people are easily manipulated, and they need extra protection from things like that. Maybe you could help people there by just informing them how important that healing process is.
Merry Christmas by the way

I have both broken a bone and torn a ligament, and I can wholeheartedly say that damaging a ligament was MUCH worse.
I broke my wrist on a trampoline. I landed on my wrist weirdly, which resulted in me partially crushing my lunate if I remember correctly. Of course, it hurt terribly, but that's what you would expect. I had my cast made water safe, so I could shower and swim perfectly fine. I could live my life almost normally in the 6 weeks I had my cast on.
On the other hand, or foot I might say (hahaha verrry funnnnny) tearing a ligament in my foot (I don't remember which one) was both significantly more painful and has left me with lasting effects over 4 years after that prevent me from exercising like a normal person and I have to do special stretches to help repair it. Hopefully within the next couple years will it mend fully
This video doesn't outright say what is worse, so take it from someone who has experienced both extremes that ligament injuries are MUCH. MUCH. WORSE.
I can say from my experience, a grade 2 sprain (which is not a complete tear) is miles worse than a broken bone. Also there may be factors in the makeup of your body that prevent such an injury from healing. Break a bone.
My ligaments in my ankles are still healing, and it's been 4 weeks. I still have like 3 or 2 to go
This one video made me realize that I've never learned a lot of biology in school, because the learning materials were of a lousy quality. This short video made more sense, and taught me more about the anatomy, than a whole semester of biology in elementary... Awesome job, kudos to the animators!
Can ligaments heal incorrectly? What does physical therapy do for the healing process?
Its to gain strength back and it promotes bloodflow. You rest when it hurts. When it doesn't hurt as much you exercise with methods like a bicycle machine and then isometric and eccentric exercises with high reps. But not to the point of pain.
I had an injury from soccer at my knee, tearing or spraining a few ligaments and destroying part of the cartilage under the kneecap and making my life total hell. I was on crutches for 2 months, physical therapy for another 3 months, and I still could not run until a full 7 months. It's now been 13 months since the initial injury, and I still don't feel at my best. Don't get knee injuries guys.

Wait so, could one theoretically inject nutrients and such right next to the ACL in order to help it help faster/at all??? I imagine even low doses over the course of several weeks could help substantially, but I've never heard about treatment for such a thing :x
There are treatments like PRP but so far their effectiveness hasn't been all that well proven.
Healing doesn't just take added nutrients, it als requires that the waste products flush away. It is more complicated than that, but basically what you need is a flow of some kind of carrier fluid full of nutrients and empty of trash that can drop off nutrients and pick up the trash. The problem with injections is twofold: They damage tissue, causing more trash, and they add the risk of infection.
If I had to come up with a new treatment I would say: Bloodthinners. But those come with massive risks of their own. I'll let actual specialists do the dangerous work of figuring out better treatments.

Yup I too can tell, torn MCL and ACL pain >>>>>>>> broken collarbone pain. Plus, at least the collarbone heals on its own, now I cannot play any sports except maybe golf unless I have surgery and a full year of rehab for my left knee...
Those illustrations are simply amazing! Esp the one at the end with the bone riding a wave of blood while the ligament gasps for air XD
Great job!!
I love this straight to the point answer and explanation!
Hello minute earth
0:01 I would pick neither because i have never broken a bone
the cornea with F.L.U.D.D (i think that’s how it’s spelled) at around 2:33 XD
Both sound very painful I never broken or torn anything but I would not want to go through it
Great video! Really helped me decide if I should break my bone or my ligament. Really useful information, I will pass it on to others and try to encourage them to break their bones too. Thank you!
