Do bones have nerves in them?

Bones contain nerves and blood vessels. The nerves and blood vessels go though channels in the bone, so that bone cells (osteocytes) have nutrition and commands from the nervous system. Broken bones hurt a lot, which is one way you know there are nerves in them!

Bones do not contain nerves. Rather, the tissue around the bone is full of nerves. This explains why injuries involving breaks or fractures hurt so badly.
