I can usually tell after they show me the x-ray.  You may want to play it safe and get an x-ray if you are worried about it.  A broken bone on a growing child can be a bad thing...

I had a similar experience about 2 years ago.  I fell and I thought I had a really bad sprain.  It was really swollen and I had bruises all the way up to my knee.  I had never broken anything before and I was pretty sure it wasn't broken.  I didn't hear anything snap and it hurt when I fell, but not too bad.  My mom, a nurse, came and looked at it and told me to keep it elevated.\n\nAbout a month later, I had an appointment with a Podiatrist for something totally unrelated.  When he saw how swollen and bruised I was after 4 weeks, he took an x-ray.  I had broken my leg and my ankle was broken in 3 places.  I was shocked - I always thought breaking a bone would be excruchiating pain!  I had to have surgery and they put a plate and some screws in there.  Now I'm back to normal, with a lovely scar to show for it.  No offense to my mom, but I'm thinking it's a good thing she is retired.\n\nIf after 6 weeks you are still swollen, there is definitely something wrong.  They've ruled out broken bones, but you'll have to wait for the MRI to find out what is really wrong.  Sure, you might need surgery, but it could be worse.  For example, did I mention the fact that I have MS, which affects my left leg and my breaks were in my right leg?  What this meant is that, because my left leg is not able to hold me up, crutches did no good.  I was basically living on my couch for 2 months.  \n\nGood luck with everything - I'm sure you'll be fine =)

Not necessarily much, I think.\n\nOn a rainy day when I was ten (1954) I slipped on wet cobblestones (Italy). Landed on my tailbone and broke it.\nStill bent to this day. Thanks be to The Good Lord, there was no spinal injury. Could have been, too.\n\nThere's such a thing as freak accidents, and this was one.

X-Ray I have osteoporosis and have broken countless major bone and often didn't know it until I was X-Rayed days late. Last year I literally shattered my kneecap in Too many fragments to count and I wouldn't have even known if I had not said something to the Dr. for an unrelated visit.

I was walking along the street and I tripped over a broken paving slab...fell flat out into the road just as a long line of schoolchildren came round the corner.  I was so embarrassed that I staggered up and walked away. I didnt realise that I had broken my arm until about 10 minutes later :((

Feel no pain.  I currently have constant pain due to injuries.  Would be nice to know what it's like to be without it again.

I have a better question. HOW IN THE HELL DID YOU BREAK YOUR FEMUR? its like the thickest and most dense bone in the body. must have been a pretty bad accident. i suggest staying off the leg for a while...

Um.. no.\n\nIf you broke your leg every time you jumped off a cliff, how many times would you jump off it?

You probably broke your little toe. At the very least you probably cracked the little bone.  It will get better but takes a month or so.

Right arm in 3 places.\n\nRight ankle.\n\nNose twice.\n\nToe next to the pinkie toe on my left foot, at least 4 times.\n\n4 fingers (minus thumb) on my right hand.\n\nCracked skull.\n\nTailbone.  This one hurt the worst.
