If a bone is broken, typically there is pain. A point where a stress fracture occurs often does not hurt before the time the bone breaks, but hurts afterward. Some people have stood and walked when they've had a small stress fracture in the feet.

An area that was broken in the past may ache and hurt for years after the bone has healed.
A broken bone is always painful, however, you will not necessarily realize that the pain is caused by a broken bone.
