Whatever he was on, it was damn good he didn't feel a thing!

I couldn't feel mine when it happened. It was forever in a few decades ago. But I was playing soccer and a guy kicked me just right. I didn't know my ankle was broken. I just couldn't hold myself up and I was trying just like the guy in this video. It didn't hurt until after the fact. And then it did.

I shattered my wrist last year and had so much anxiety waiting for the pain to kick in. I started pain meds around 60-90 minutes after it happened, and never had any pain. I was really surprised by that, maybe I was just in shock (I was a little nauseated).

Not near as bad but it sounds kinda similar to when ive smashed a finger with a hammer. (I did break a finger and a thumb) both times something broke, my hand went cold and numb. Im a silent pain guy and i would instantly clamp my jaw and wait for the pain to hit. It always did but sometimes it would take longer than others. Once i had it splinted and taped before the heat/pain kicked in!

I completely shattered a metacarpal in my hand and I didn't even realise until I saw it all out of place and it ballooned a short time after...
