Could Poking Feeling In Shin After A Fall Be Cracked Bone?

I fell through the springs of my friends trampoline yesterday attempting to do an aerial and it really hurt. A few seconds after i noticed something poking against my skin. I couldnt tell if it was a bruise or part of my bone. Today i can feel what I guess is a crack on my shin, but I cant tell.

Fracture could be of various grades, and you will need an X Ray to get it ascertained that you have sustained an injury to your bone. till then keep your limb elevated on pillow and take analgesics, and apply crepe bandage lightly.
