That sounds similar to a sinus headache, but then again. I'm not the best person to ask that question to.

I HAVE THE SAME THING!!!!
Under my eyes seriously hurts when it's touched, and I have the worst headache and a really fun stuffed up nose and super fun sore throat. At first I thought it was allergies to my friend's cat, but now that it's gone on for a week (and I left her house after a day), I'm really thinking it's not allergies.
I hope you get it figured out!!

hmm. i've been wondering that one for a while... maybe it is the nerves around the bones? but then how come marrow transplants are supposed to be really painful? maybe you can feel inside bone after all?
interesting...
maybe marrow is conscious???
(that was where i was going with that lol)
> sorry you are blocked : ( I just saw that
ah well.. unblocked now :-)

Because the medication/injection that they give to get the marrow to come out causes the pain, not the marrow extraction itself.>

It has to do with the nerve fibers that are surounding the bones and the messages they send to the brain. If a bone is broken the nerves around it tell us to feel pain, but I still don't understand why my bones hurt when I am sick : )

maybe it is to do with inflamation. the nerves get inflamed and so send a pain signal to the brain.
dunno

Bones most certainly do have nerves running through them, and in the marrow. They are particularly sensitive to pressure. The nerves tend to follow the course of blood vessels, so they may arise from a distant connection to the spinal cord, rather than from a local one. That's why bone marrow procedures are so painful. A local anaesthetic will numb the tissue outside the bone, but the nerve in the bone is from somewhere else, and it will not be affected by the anaesthetic. The only practical way to numb the bone, too, would be a general.
Aching bones feelings tend to come from systemic inflammatory processes. There just isn't much room for inflammation in bone, and the nerve gets squeezed when the immune system is activated significantly.
The achy bones in the face thing is due to pressure from inflammation in closed spaces, the sinuses. Sinus infections can be viral, bacterial, or fungal, but only the latter two can really be treated. OTC sinus remedies focus on trying to bring down the inflammation, which relieves the pain.
