I think I may have bone cancer in my arm. I have been having a lot of pain when I try to twist it and I can't unbend it all the way. I went to a limb specialist and she told me I may have inflammation in my arm and to take an inflammatory every day for two weeks. I have been, but nothing has changed. I don't know exactly how to tell, however my arm has been this way for a little over 6 months. it has gotten worse over that time. I read that inflammation is one of the bone cancer symptoms, but I wanted to know others. I am 15 by the way.
Yeah, because the internet is a much better doctor than your specialist. stop searching up symptoms up on the internet and over reacting. keep taking the inflammatory and leukemia is very rare.
You are probably pocking and prodding it too much.
Do you relies that if you think you have a problem the brain can do cruel things by imagining there is an ace there which makes you more paranoid. there is a name for it but I can't mind it' they give sufferers placebo drugs to make them think they are getting treated for the condition THEY THINK they have which is not the case!!
Stop worrying ask about the possibility's of cancer. Believe me if you had cancer you would have more symptoms than just inflammation because bones re produce blood cells and the solid structure in which the nervous system run's so you would expect more symtoms.
Bone cancer often causes pain and tenderness in the affected area. In children, this can be mistaken for growing pains, in adults it can be mistaken for arthritis. The pain is often worse at night. as the cancer grows it can also cause swelling in the affected area. If it is near a joint, it may make movement in the joint difficult.
Less common symptoms include:
tiredness
fever or night sweats
weight loss
These symptoms aren't always caused by bone cancer but if you have them, visit your GP.
The symptoms of bone cancer vary from one person to another according to the location and size of the bone cancer. Pain is one of the most common bone cancer symptoms. Generally, there is a gradual increase in the severity of the symptoms with time. at first, the pain may only be felt with activity or at night. according to the growth of the cancerous tumor, people may experience the symptoms for weeks, perhaps even months, sometimes even years until they seek medical help. Sometimes a lump or mass may occur either in the tissues that surround the bone or on the bone itself. this commonly occurs with fibrosarcoma or MFH, but can also occur with other types of bone tumors as well. Some of the less common bone cancer symptoms are weight loss, night sweats, chills, and fever. these symptoms usually occur when the cancerous tumor spreads to the other parts of the body.
Oh and by the way leukemia is not rare ..
