Pain: It's invariable: Invariably in the area of weight bearing, Any weight bearing on the area gives the pain back and it doesn't go completely away in a few days Pressing on the area triggers pain Often bruising. The fracture may or may not be visible on a conventional x-ray BUT either an MRI OR a bone scan will show it reliably.
