I was a volunteer EMT and I heard many times that the femur bone is the most painful bone to break, so this girl is straight up tough. I'd be cryin' as a full grown adult.

I assume the gas and air she was on would've helped temporarily. As I've dislocated my hip, they're usually quick to do either gaseous pain relieve or IV which would mean you don't really feel the pain. :)

This brings tears to my eyes. My son attempted a new trick on a trampoline breaking both bones in his underarm, through the skin. He had surgery that day to place a metal rod into each bone, the entire length of each. Just a few days ago, 4 months later, he just had surgery to remove the two metal rods. All this during a global pandemic. He did and is doing great. Me, the mother is still a little worse for wear. Blessings to all the amazing doctors and nurses out there.

I fractured my femur when I was a bit younger than her. It was one of the most painful thing I have ever experienced. I was at gymnastics and fell to the floor but didn’t really cry or scream, just held ,y leg and was grimacing (I went into shock). My coach thought I sprained something or pulled a muscle so she had me get up and walk… I tried to put slight weight on it and screaming pain, crying, falling to the floor. Caused more injury. To be fair, I have a very high pain tolerance and didn’t initially react how someone normally would with a broken femur since I was in shock.
