How can you tell that you've broken your leg?

How can you tell that you%26#039;ve broken your leg? Being as clumsy as I am, I was riding my bike while talking on my cell with a close friend of mine. Suddenly;; I lost controll and fell. I had bruised and hurt that leg yesterday from the pool, by playing a game and hurting me and my friends, but I got the worst of it. Now, my leg is brusing, the center of my knee and ankle, and I cant put alot of pressure on it. It hurts. ALOT. And I got a red spot on my neck and a cut; Is my bone broken on my leg?

A broken leg is very difficult to walk on although some people have a high threshold of pain. When I fell i tried to get up and turned over my big toe twice, By the time I got from the backyard to the house, my foot was so swollen I could not even wear shoes. I had to use a cane; and each step was painful.Now I know what it means to put your best foot forward.. The doctor said it was not broken but wanted to put me in Simpson boot to relieve the pressure and swelling. What I realized later was that I had a hairline fracture. The idea of fracture is broken; but some doctors see %26#039;degrees%26#039; of broken.They did not want to give me time off from work.For three months I could not wear shoes. Every time I went back to the doctor they wanted to put me in Simpson boot. Go to the doctor and get an xray so that you will know if it is a sprain or your foot is broken. More than ten years later I have a %26#039;mound%26#039; on the area[instep] and have to wear a size larger on my left foot. Please go for help and at least find the peace of knowing the truth about your injury.

• The only way to tell is with an x ray....look it up...these days if you can walk on an injury then they try not to cast it unless it will go out of alignment. Rest it with ice and give it a couple. Sounds like you have a light sprain and a bruised knee...but go to the doc if you think else
• Is it swelling?
  Can you walk on that leg?
  If both is no then prob not when i had broken arm it felt like i spared it pretty bad so you should know
• you cant move your leg
  it would be swollen
