Unlikely: Of course, i can't give you a definite answer without access to more information, but generally speaking, fractures of the leg (tibia, femur, fibula) are quite painful and produce a significant amount of swelling. Weight-bearing is quite difficult. Thus, based on what you have told me, i think a fracture is unlikely.
