bone chips, etc.

Has anyone ever chipped a bone before?

Does it hurt very much? I have this ache in my inside shin, just above my ankle bone, where I clashed legs in a lunchtime soccer comp yesterday. It's supposed to be an easy going comp so I don't wear shinpads.

But it's aching and it doesn't feel quite like a muscle ache or bruise. So I'm just wondering if maybe it's a chipped bone or something...

You've already gotten some answers, but I chipped a kneecap and an elbow in separate instances. The kneecap instance was very painful (I dislocated it, so there was much swelling), the elbow, not so much. I mean, it was bruised and slightly swollen, but I didn't know I'd chipped it until I could feel the chip floating around under the skin after the swelling had gone down.

Bone bruises can be quite unpleasant, as well.
