I recently broke my leg doing bicycle stunts in my backyard.
That sounds pretty bad! Bone fractures are often abbreviated to FRX or Fx too.

Signs and symptoms.
Although bone tissue itself contains no nociceptors, bone fracture is painful for several reasons:
- Breaking in the continuity of the periosteum, with or without similar discontinuity in endosteum, as both contain multiple pain receptors.
- Edema and hematoma of nearby soft tissues caused by ruptured bone marrow evokes pressure pain.
- Involuntary muscle spasms trying to hold bone fragments in place.
Damage to adjacent structures such as nerves, muscles or blood vessels, spinal
