What causes "bone pain"? If I put pressure on a bone it will have a sharp pain. This morning I accidentally lightly hit my hand on something and it hit right on a bone. It hurt pretty bad.
I wonder if it's like rheumatoid where your bones are being disintegrated.

Bartonellosis is the source of "shin splints."

Some say it's babesia. Could be bart too.

Bartonella quintana was the cause of "trench fever," also known as "bone-break fever." It primarily affects the tibia and fibula in the lower leg.
Babesia can cause bone pain, too.
I think the mechanism is swelling of the periosteum, the membrane that surrounds the bone. It pulls on the bone when it's inflamed.
