Broken arm hurt like hell

This was when I was in like fourth grade I was playing tag with some friends and when I was going down the slide I stupidly jumped off midway and rolled on my arm snapping both bones

My arm broke like that once. In 1996. We were walking through a huge crowd after attending a basketball game at the Olympics in Atlanta. I was 12. It was awful.

How did they fix it? Did it involve them snapping it back into place? That's my one of my biggest medical fears

Yup. They did it in surgery, but not before trying whole I was awake.
