Well, the interesting thing is that bones *do* have nerve endings and are in fact very pain sensitive. It's a common misbelieve that they don't have nerves. The pain that I still experience is likely due to sensitivity of the local nerves from the original injury. In addition to the bone injury I also had local ligament injury so that is part of my ongoing pain as well. However, it shoudl be noted that it is very unusual to break a bone close to the joint without causing ligament damage at the same time. Most docs focus on the bone healing and don't mention the co-existing soft tissue damage.
