ACCEPTED

Dear Kim,
What you are describing is DEFINITELY NOT a normal occurence. It could suggest a displacement of the broken fragments/ a new injury. Only a detailed medical examination can tell the exact cause, but one thing is for sure, this requires a medical evaluation. Please get the same done at the earliest.

Do let me know if you need more information, please remember to 'accept' the reply if you find it useful; a positive rating & a bonus at your discretion would be appreciated,

Regards

Dr. Gupta
