When you whack a bone, how long can the pain last?

When I fell before my back surgery in 12/12, I landed first on my shin (on the corner of a concrete slab step) and then fell flat on my back. The rest is a black out.

But immediately after that impact, there's been a sphere of congested rock hard tissue. No one (but my PT) seems to really give it much notice. With so much atrophy in that one chicken leg, that congestion is probably the only thing giving some mass to that lower limb).

I have had (immediately from the impact) bone pain. I can differentiate. Well, I still have it today (along with all the new and distracting neurological sensations). But the actual bone still hurts right where I smacked it.

The only diagnostics done were at the time of the impact, an x-ray to determine nothing was broken.

I know I've complained about this before, (and perhaps I've forgotten some of the replies along the way?) I'm not sure how to proceed, or who to see (what type of practitioner). My EMG pulls up lots of zeros so my peroneal nerve is gonzo still....but as I said, this is bone pain. They've checked the nerves (and they're not doing so hot in the regeneration dept., but I know this takes eons).

So question: Bone pain? How long? What can cause pain for 2 years w/ no relief? What type of doc do I see (I've mentioned it to my neuro, and he.....addresses the EMG). So I think I'm missing something.

Thanks guys....as usual.

Sorry, no idea about the bone pain. That's bizarre, have you had imaging recently?

Not to go o/t here but can you tell me how they found your peroneal nerve damage? I am positive I have nerve damage/compression somewhere but it wasn't found in my lumbar spine MRI.
