Do bones have nerves?

Question:

Do they actually have nerve tissue running through them so it's painful or when you break a bone is it the muscle tissue surrounding the injury that causes the pain??

Answer:
Bones themselves have no nerves in them, but bone is surrounded by a tissue called periosteum which is highly innervated. The damaged periosteum and the accompanying injured muscle tissue causes the pain in a fracture.

Not actually in the bone itself, but there are nerves that run though the bone.

I guess they don't. Thanx for that info, guys. I do know that bones respond to stress that is applied to them. They actually grow and change shape. They are a living tissue!
