What are the symptoms of bone cancer

Bone cancer is a bone tumor that mainly occurs in bones or their accessory tissues. It can cause local pain, local swelling or lumps, joint swelling and pain, movement dysfunction, pathological fractures, bone deformities, etc.

1. Local pain: This is one of the common symptoms of bone tumors. It usually manifests as mild dull pain or dull pain, but it will gradually worsen as the disease progresses and become persistent severe pain, especially at night, and the pain may not be relieved by activity.

2. Local swelling or lumps: Some patients will experience local swelling or lumps, which may be accompanied by obvious tenderness. If the tumor is located under the periosteum or superficially, swelling may appear earlier. If the tumor is located deeper, swelling may not be discovered until later.

3. Joint swelling and pain: The joints may also be affected by bone cancer, causing swelling and pain. These symptoms may be similar to those of joint inflammation, but the pain of bone cancer is usually more severe and difficult to relieve.

4. Motor dysfunction: As the disease progresses, bone cancer may cause dysfunction of tissues and organs, such as difficulty walking and muscle atrophy, which is caused by the compression and destruction of the tumor on the surrounding tissues.

5. Pathological fractures: Patients with bone tumors are prone to pathological fractures, which is because the tumor destroys the normal structure and strength of the bones. Fractures may occur under slight external forces or spontaneously.

6. Bone deformity: The growth and destruction of tumors may cause changes in bone structure and bone deformity, which may affect the patient's appearance and function.

Note: The symptoms of bone tumors are not fixed. Their manifestations and severity may vary from person to person. If the above symptoms occur, you should seek medical help in time. You should pay attention to eating a light and nutritious diet and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods. You should also relax your mind and not be anxious or nervous.
