Bone Pain, Swelling Fractures, and other possible signs of bone cancer should be checked out by a doctor as soon as possible.
Sign and Symptoms
- Pain – The pain will not be constant at first, and may come and go. It could become worse at night or when the bone is used. For example, pain in your arm after lifting heavy objects or pain in your leg after a long walk may be bone cancer sign.
- Sweelling- Sweelling in the area where pain is felt, especially if the cancer is located in or near a join. A person may also feel a lump or mass, depending on the tumors location.
- Bone Fractures – Although rare, a bone tumor can eat away at the bone until it becomes so weak that it breaks. Such fractures can occur doing something as basic standing up, kneeling down, or rolling over the bed.
Other bone cancer signs and symptoms are common to any form of cancer. These include weight loss, fatigue, fever and anemia (a condition where blood is deficient in oxygen-carrying red blood cells).
If you experience any of these possible bone cancer symptoms, contact your doctor immediately. If it is cancer, the earlier it is caught and treated, the better the outcome.
