for example would spraining your ankle hurt worse or less then breaking it?

Years ago I fell down a flight of concrete stairs. No breaks, but the damage to the muscles, tissue and tendons was unbelievably painful.
Six years ago I missed a step and fell two steps on a stair case and snapped my ankle. It did not hurt at all until after the surgery to put it back together.
The Doctor didn't even believe it was broken due to the lack of pain.

I only heard that spraining something is worse than breaking something. It seems that if you break something it usually heals faster. If you sprain it and you use that part of the body, you keep hurting it so it never gets better. Usually when you break something, its in a cast or something so you dont use it and it gets better faster.

I broke my ankle and the pain was 10 times worse than the 2 times that I sprained it. Luckily they gave me vicodin.
