How to tell if a bone is fractured or bruised

I got a boxers fracture and it didn’t hurt that bad. Only way I knew it was broken was because I could feel the bones grinding when I moved it.

[@lilia3944]

Not always. None of my fractures were particularly painful, I've had bone bruises and sprains that felt worse. What tipped me off was feeling shivery and tired (like with a fever) and/or limited range of motion (like 5 degrees one broken elbow, 45 another).

My pain tolarance is quite high so it's hard to tell whenever I break something I need to go on visual symptoms problem is I never get the purple swelling so it's difficult

You really didn't talk about bone bruising. You talked about getting X-rays and scans and so on. I didn't get any of that. I have fallen on my bike a few times. The first time I did go to the hospital because I could not walk. I got back on my bike and road home. I was able to walk upstairs and facetimed with my sister. She told me to go to the hospital. I could not walk when I got downstairs so some people brought over a chair and dragged me to my moms car. At the hospital they found that nothing was broken. However, I still couldn't walk. They gave me a walker. It took 14 days for me to heal. This time when I fell I had put my foot down to stop myself from falling. I was standing still and the bike fell over. I didn't think this was bad. When I got up to walk my bike my left leg was very wobbly. I could not walk on it. I thought this was a bone bruise. I'm going on my second week, this Friday. It is better. It hurts, but not as much as it did. I had iced it when it first happened and a few days after. When the pain was too much I had taken Advil or aspirin. I'm not in that much pain anymore. I think I just bruised it. It would have been nice if you said what a bruise was and what to do for it.

I hit the floor after coming off the bike at 70km. I landed on my front like a plank but smashed my body into the ground perfectly flat on gravel and dried leaf debris and slid like a paper airplane for about 10m. I didn't get knocked out but was dizzy for a bit. It took me an hour to feel strong enough to get on a bike to be taking to my hotel.I couldn't lift my leg while sitting but that was better after 4 days. Now I have a lump on my shin and the bone feels weak each time I walk or move about. It does not hurt as it is numb. Top and bottom as at the top on my thigh I got a stab and scrape to end all scrapes. It needed stitches according to the Cambodian pharmacist but I used some glue and placenta cream. My forearm was stripped but I pushed that back on as I would of lost my tat. I took 5 days of anti bi as pharmacist said it was infected. I was shook to the core. Neck jaw,back, insides feel bruised,hip, both ankles, wrists. I totalled the bike so I can't afford hospital. I've had a feeling of being on a boat in my head. How much longer can I expect this issue, it's been 3 weeks. Sorry to pester but I'm starting to get worried and can't get an answer from anyone but "go to he hospital for x-ray"

[@PatriciaLopez-ck1ig]

Thanks a million for this video, honestly 🙏. I'm 5 weeks in of a fibular avulsion fracture, got a MRI and it doesn't exclude a fracture to the medial malleolus too 😭 it says there's bone bruising likely to be an undisplaced fracture or trabecular injury, but sounds inconclusive to me and your video truly helps.

[@callmetarif]

Hey everyone I have a bone bruised foot from falling hard on it when bouldering. I'm 4 months in. Way longer than it should go. From keepin it still, I got a Morbus Sudeck and a CRPS. Now I gotta make sure to do everything right. I'm a tennis teacher and it's hard to not move a lot. But as the doc said, you should ice it and elevate it. What helps me most right now with the pain is to not walk barefoot on hard surfaces. I can only talk for me but since I bought a good soft shoe it's getting better. And I wear it everywhere. Sending out much love and strength to everyone going through something similar. Stay strong! It will go away, just keep "going" slow! 😂❤

I was at skatecity because im moving and it was a goodbye party, im a pretty confident good skater but I have super bad anxiety, at one time I was alone and my sister or mom was near me I was just around strangers all the sudden I get super anxious and have a anxiety attack while skating, I fell backwards and I went into shock and I go a instant migraine, at first I couldn't get up but then two teenagers past by me and laughed, I got up in pure pain sobbing my eyes out, and I located my mom and I told her what happened all though I couldn't explain it very well because my body was still tense from the anxiety attack and I had a migraine, She held me up as we went towards a seat and my mom kept asking me if we need to go to the hospital or emergency room I kept saying no and here's why, what if its a break I would feel defeated, my dad recently broke his arm and I didn't wanna join it, as well because I was able to walk just with a lot of pain and a slight limp. I had a nap as soon as we got home for 4 hours and when I woke up I was stuck there I could not move because I feel as if it wasn't good for me to be in shock, tense and pain at the same time I still refuse to go to the hospital, because I want only to believe its just a bruise as dumb as it sounds I can't handle that.

Thank you so much Dr. Paull! You are so easy to follow. I really like watching your videos! I just subscribed to your channel. Can one feel a little soreness in the front part of the leg in the shin area when moving one's leg with a bone bruise? Also is it best to wear a compression stocking, leg boot, or a shin splint for comfort while healing? I noticed wearing something with compression greatly helps me to feel better. I have no pain on the bottom of my feet when walking...just a little soreness on the shin area. Is that normal?

I've tripped twice recently going up concrete block stairs in the garden because my garden boots caught when I didn't quite lift my foot to clear the step. Both times it has caused swelling and bruising. I was able to walk and did not fear fractures either time, but both shins where they hit the sharp edge of the concrete block have developed hard bony bumps once the skin healed and bruising went away. They were both very tender for awhile after the injuries but did not hurt to bear weight. I injured right and then left a week or so later. When I was a teenager, I skinned my shin when I missed a balance beam dismount. It also left a bony prominence. I'm 65, so not young, but what actually happens to cause a bony prominence after a contusion?

Bone if damaged will remodel, and it doesn't always remodel exactly how you would like it to which can create bony prominences

Very helpful! I briefly passed out a month+ ago due to dehydration & abruptly fell onto my damn tile floor & landed on the side of back! :-/ Was just a few seconds but def. was well aware of what happened. Ended up seeing a bunch of bruise marks & verry sore on the left side. Like pulsating soreness & high discomfort & stiff effect but not 'pain'. Kind of borderline. Concern is a month later at x it comes back like it just happened. But like you said if it was 'broken' yes, there would be a brutal difference. I'm normally very active but (hard as it is) now realize if its a bad bruise gotta give it 2+ months. Only been 1. Thinking I have to watch my posture even when I walk or jog.

I'm no doctor but 3 years ago I had a pretty severe fracture on my hip. Now at the age of 18 i can tell you that if you had a nasty fall and you are uncertain if you have any small fracture or something else just give it a bit more time to heal and if the pain doesn't go away you should get that checked out. But in general don't do activities that can cause any further injury on your leg. That's what happened to me as well and I ignored it

Hey i have a specific area near the top of my shin along the larger bone on the top and the inside that is always tender and has been this way for i dont even know how long at least a year. Sometimes the area develops a hard to see very light greenish bruise. The top of the bone itself also feels more bumpy/lumpy when i run a finger over the top of it than that of my other leg. Any idea what this is? Additional info would be a while ago say 4 years i had quite bad pain starting at the bottom of the shins just above my ankle and radiating upwards. Felt like a tone of needles had been pushed in through the front of my shin or pain in random directions like a piece of pottery shattering and the cracks being lines of pain. I also have a bad ankle on the same side as the current issue which is weak due to ligament damage. Finally i always used to walk on foot and still do to a lesser degree with my heal just touching the floor for a split second here and there. I also walk kind of oddly and have a bad habit of tensing my legs up when walking.

I had my bicep reattached three years ago, now at the attachment point it feels broken in pain, for three weeks now, any idea

[@gsusfrk333]

I didn’t kick the bucket, just the wall. I was just trying to go the bathroom at 3:15 in the morning and was facing the wrong side of my bed. 😵

Hi I have punched something and my small finger is now stiff and bruised on the outside and is for some reason bruised on my palm and side of hand and is really hurts when I try and move it and I can’t could you please help me out

[@orthopedics]

Sometimes when someone punches a wall they end up hitting a stud. The damage usually goes to the small finger metacarpal because it's more mobile than the stiffer index and long finger metacarpals. What ends up happening is something called a boxer's fracture of the small finger metacarpal neck. X-rays will tell for sure whether it is broken, and whether or not someone needs a splint or surgery.

Hi Dr. I have broken pinky toe.. although it is not dislocated but it is slightly tilted outside.. what is the reason?

[@JqxyyluvsGod]

I smacked my elbow on a marble tile and it stings and hurts so bad is it fractured?

[@geovanniramirez4991]

Thank you for your advice!

Hi I'm a soccer player and I believe I have a bone bruise on the lower part of my shin. I've been icing it and taking ibuprofen to help heal it. Is there anything else I can do to help the healing process?

[@orthopedics]

Bone bruises can take a long time to go away, there isn't a whole lot you can do to speed it up. Sometimes shin splints can act like that, unfortunately the best way to get rid of shin splints is to rest.

[@asherkwon559]

[@asherkwon559]

@Yuvraj Rajput still hurts but the swelling and pain is better

[@asherkwon559]

@Yuvraj Rajput wdym by that

@Yuvraj Rajput Yes, I can run and sprint but it hurts when I put my weight on my right leg.

If anyone sees what does it mean if I sprained my ankle and my whole ankle bruised and my toes are starting to get bruised

[@NotGord]

Hey I doubt you will respond but today I was playing basketball and tripped along with my friend so I felt his 160 pounds on my knee as it hit the pavement. The pain was excruciating for a minute or two but after that I hardly felt anything at all and the pain almost completely went away after an hour. Because of the terrible pain I felt for a moment I think it might be bruised? Even though I can not feel any pain now. Is the pain a good indicator that nothing terrible has happened to my knee?

[@doha6510]

I've got a bone bruise on the tibia, just at the level of the knee (the MRI shows it). What exercise can I do? What movements should I avoid? And how do I know that I can go back to normal?

[@bigillinois12]

I have this too! It really sucks bc I was super active before (dancing, hiking, biking, rock climbing). I’ve been still lifting weights (upper body) and swimming. It’s not my favorite activities but at least it keeps me somewhat active lol

[@Brooklynlife1000]

I'm having the same problem and I really wasn't in pain since the injury but after I went to the doctor and he says you don't need surgery just take it easy don't walk too much cause I gotta excited and walked about half a mile and now I'm gonna excruciating pain LOLIT feels like a new fracture but I'm sure it's just the bruised bone being in flame I could kick my self with I'm sure that would hurt him more LOL.

[@Im_hungry_lol]

Don’t lie, you’re only watching this cuz ur concerned about one of your bones

[@rb26_10]

I have probably a bruised knuckle bone, it was swollen. I have no problems with moving my finger or lifting weight but Im still concerned will it become a problem in the future I didn't go for a x-ray

[@Shoe-v8q]

I’m getting X-rays I feel a lump on my finger first I injured it by punching the wall playing vr and then injured it playing volleyball when my friend hit it so it’s blue and there’s a lump and hurts really bad👍🥲

[@OvYooo]

My husband came up behind me and pulled me back I feel like my back is hurt bad as well as my neck and he hit he in my side of my face it’s hard for me to eat. I can’t even call the cops because they don’t care about my bruises and they try to put me in the mental hospital.

[@Chuck25o4m]

I just had an incident in a soccer match today where the lateral anterior area of my lower leg about 2 inches above the lateral malleolus was struck hard. The area is tender to the touch but I also have sharp pain now whenever I put weight on the leg and try to dorsiflex or plantar flex. It literally feels like my Achilles will snap in half when I put weight on the foot and try to flex the ankle which is weird because I was struck in the anterior part of my leg, not my Achilles

[@cgilfoy05]

I fell while ice skating and ended up with a pain in my tailbone area but no black and blue marks been over a week when I take meds for it the pain goes away for hours so was wondering if it sounds serious or not

[@brandonwilliams2544]

i tripped going up a hill and my hand like tried to catch myself and i literally felt AND heard the shit snap..my thumb smelled into the ground hard asf

[@jtinrob1]

Hi, I fell down some stairs over a week ago and got an xray which didn't show any fracture but I can't put any pressure on my left leg for a long period of time. Does this sound like a bruise? I work on my feet for hours but had to take off. Just curious!

[@shaunsmith7802]

I’ve taken a knee to knee and it hurts really bad after I sit down and straighten it out. does it should like a bone bruise

[@kennyperez7793]

I got chased by dogs in Guatemala and fell on my collar bone on hard pavement. U think i broke it?

[@lucyhinchcliffe6526]

do you think punching a radiator really hard is enough to fracture a knuckle?

[@orthopedics]

Oddly specific question... But yes, I think it could

I have a bruised knuckle, I had it x rayed and it’s not broken but the knuckle is huge. I can still move it good but hurts to put my hand in a fist.. so is it just gonna take months to heal??

[@alexd.8675]

Hi hoping to get a response here. I was hit by a softball on the palm (pinky side). I reacted by covering where I would have been hit and stopped the ball with my hand (palm). I got an x-ray from a walk in clinic and was told no fractures are present but 2 weeks later I still cannot use the hand and still have a good amount of pain. Would you recommend a second opinion or is it safe to assume its a bone bruise and let it run its course? Thank you for the info it is appreciated.
