Has anyone ever broken a bone and not had any swelling, bruising or pain at all?

At a protest in Toronto, I had my foot broken by riot police. It takes less than ten pounds of pressure to break the little bones on the top of the foot, and one of the tactics favoured by the police for knocking people over for a beating is to step on their foot and then hit them with their shield. I had forgotten to wear my steeltoes to the protest and I am rather large (6' 5") so the cops did a lot of foot-stomping on me in their combat boots. I was so bruised and battered and sore from the rest of the beating I got from batons and horses and riot shields that I never even noticed that my foot had been broken until weeks later when I noticed the bump.

Years later I suffered a ganglion cyst on the spot where my foot had been broken, which resulted in weeks of agonizing pain, eventually resulting in the nerve dying and losing all sensation to the top of one of my toes.
