symptoms of bone cancer


The experience of one or more of these symptoms does not mean you have bone cancer. However, it is possible that the symptoms of another illness or injury that may require medical attention yet, so you should not ignore.

Here are some potential symptoms of bone cancer:

Bone pain: Pain in the bones is usually seen as the tumor begins to grow. At first, the pain may only occur at certain times of the day. As cancer develops, the pain may become permanent. Other conditions, such as osteoporosis or arthritis, can also cause bone or joint pain.

Swelling: The area where the pain is located can begin to show signs of swelling.

Fractures: Cancer cells can weaken bones. Sometimes this can lead to fractures.

Reduced mobility: in some cases, if the location of the tumor is close to town, you can make a normal movement difficult or painful.

Other signs: unintentional weight loss and fatigue can lead to bone pain. Other symptoms may develop if the cancer has spread to other organs.
