With Broken Bones The Band Played On
There have been stories on national news about how, with broken bones, the band played on.
In one case, a rock group lead singer danced and pranced on stage for 3 hours with a broken leg.
In another case, a guitar player rocked on his instrument despite a broken finger. Sometimes, a broken bone doesn’t make itself known for a while.
It’s hard to imagine how, with broken bones, the band continued to play as if everything was fine. That’s the beauty and the mystery of the human body.

With broken bones, the band played on, but how did the bones heal? Was there any further damage discovered after the show? Was the break worse because it didn’t get immediate first aid?

If you have any unexplained swelling or bruising, or find yourself avoiding putting pressure on any bones, then you should visit the doctor. Broken bones can come in many shapes and configurations.
A fracture on one side of a bone may be barely noticeable except for the dull ache. Yet it needs to be properly treated in order to insure the fracture doesn’t continue to widen.
