Bone cancer?

hi

​all i can suggest is to have a CBC done and check for vitamin defficiancy, cross that one of the list of possibles and then get an mri done, the docs would know if you have anything serious wrong so i wouldn't worry, and if you need further help just go to A&E and get them to check you over . take care

Emily, I have an extensive background with studying extremity pain and pain in general. First, do be checked by a doctor, but ask about being checked for low back problems. All of those nerves pass through your spinal cord. If you have a disc pressing on a nerve, it can cause radiating pain(radiculopathy). Each area of the back and neck is associated with nerves in different parts of the body. Simply Google the word "dermatomes". It will show you a map of the body and what nerves are affected when a certain area of the back has a disc pressing on a nerve. Lower back is associated with the lower areas. It makes sense that it is painful in bed, as you are putting stress on your lumbar spine (unless you sleep on your stomach and no pillow). I sleep with a small towel rolled up under my low back when on my back or side. This keeps the needed curve in place. Don't be scared. Have them check your back. Please know, this is NOT alternative medicine. This is absolute orthopedic science. Ask for a lumbar MRI. You will find the areas with issues will directly map on your dermatomes to your pain. That simple.

If you can feel a bump you need to get some type of scan done. Like CT scan or an mri. My leg hurt for four years and a had a lump on the outsid eof my thigh. Well come to find out i had synovial sarcoma cancer. Which is very aggressive. I had to go through chemo and radiation and many surgeries. But i am cancer free now. Yes go get checked out. It could be anything but when it comes to cancer you dont want to wait!

Thankyou all for your replies.. So im guesing this does sound like bone cancer in my leg since i have had it for a year and the pain isnt any better. I also get pains in my hands particularly my left one too but ive put this down to my hashimotos thyroidistis..

I feel like a nusance everytime i go to the doctors because i go quite regularly with different problems but they just dont listen to me. They just send me home or refer to me a therapist for mental health! I used to get an ache in my left arm which was deep but that seems to have gone. Would i still be able to do zumba after a year if i had bone cancer and would it be extremely painful to even walk?

Your lower back?? Oinched nerves in your back can set off so much in your legs.

Its not bone cancer sweetie..  Sound like you have some sort of a cyst.

Your Dr. can drain it...and may be able to tell what it is right away from touching it.  Is it spongy feeling? 

Usually PAIN is the last sign of cancer and you would have had other symptoms if it has been a year.  But, since it has been a year....and its not going away...it really sounds like you have to go to the Dr.

The shooting pains down your leg...are probably because the cyst is pressing on nerves.

It could be a cyst. And that is so not true! Cancer can be very painful. I didnt have any other symptoms except for a large bump on my leg. Im just saying get it checked out to be on the safe side!
