Several obvious symptoms of bone cancer

Clinically, some symptoms of bone cancer are quite obvious. Through these symptoms, bone cancer can be diagnosed in time, helping bone cancer patients to receive treatment as soon as possible, which is very beneficial for bone cancer patients. So what are the common symptoms of bone cancer ? Let's talk about the common symptoms of bone cancer.

Common symptoms of bone cancer include:

1. Loss of function, pain or swelling affecting the movement of the affected limb, such as a tumor at the upper end of the humerus affecting the movement of the shoulder joint, and a spinal tumor limiting the movement of the spine and causing stiffness or scoliosis. This is a common symptom of bone cancer.

2. Deformity. Due to the growth of the tumor, the bone expands and deforms, and its firmness is destroyed. When the weight continues to be carried, it gradually bends and deforms. For example, hip varus and knee valgus are common symptoms of bone cancer. Severe multiple osteochondromas can make children in the growth and development period short and deformed.

3. Lumps. Early tumors are located in the bones. As the tumor grows, the bone expands and swells more and more obviously, which is also a common symptom of bone cancer. After the tumor breaks through the bone, a soft tissue lump is formed. The lump often appears at the same time as the pain, and sometimes the lump is the first manifestation. The tumor originates from the bone, so it cannot move. Benign bone tumors grow slowly, are not large in size, and the surface and surrounding skin are normal. Malignant bone tumors grow rapidly, the surface skin becomes red and hot, and the subcutaneous veins are filled. Pay attention to the location, size, local temperature, texture, boundaries, tenderness, surface properties, mobility and growth rate of the lump.

4. Pain is also one of the common symptoms of bone cancer, but the degree varies. Some people only have mild soreness or discomfort; some people only recall some mild pain in the past after the tumor is discovered; some people mistake it for rheumatic pain, which has little to do with treatment and hurts even when resting; some people have severe pain. It is a continuous dull pain or stabbing pain, and analgesics are required. Benign tumors have mild pain and develop slowly. Malignant tumors have severe pain and are progressive, affecting diet and sleep. They cannot be relieved after rest. The pain worsens at night due to reduced external stimulation, especially the pain at night in malignant bone tumors. The pain is more obvious when it is still, which is the main difference from the pain caused by trauma and inflammatory diseases.

The above are some of the more obvious symptoms of bone cancer, I hope it will be helpful to everyone. If you have symptoms of bone cancer, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time to control the deterioration of the disease in time and restore your health as soon as possible.
