And also, that's how audiences think broken bones act like as much as writers do. *shrug*. What set this off was actually a fic in which a character sprained his ankle and knew it wasn't broken right afterwards because he put his weight on it. One of these days, I'm writing a fic in which a character does that, and the next day, they realize they were wrong.
I actually have a character in immediate debilitating pain following a break, but it's a bad impact break to the long bones of both legs, and that would act like that.
I was like that too. I used to just refuse to eat, and my parents would try to out stubborn me, and fail, because yes, I really would stare at the table and ignore them for eight hours rather than drink my juice. Strangely, I was also not picky. They never knew which food I was going to decide to do that with.
