re: How to tell if you've broken a bone in your leg or it's just bruised

Not broken.

I've seen two people in my life who didn't know they had broken bones.

Trust me, you'd know

I broke a bone in my finger during a training exercise. It bruised and became swollen. After a week of no noticeable improvement, I got it x-rayed. Turns out it was fractured. I honestly didn't know it was broken. Then, again with 10 fingers, injuring 1 just wasn't as much as an inconvenience as maybe it would be with more weight bearing appendages like an arm or leg.
