What are the symptoms of osteosarcoma? Beware of these four symptoms

The appearance of osteosarcoma will produce varying degrees of pain. As the disease progresses, the pain will become more and more severe, and the patient may have a lump. As the disease continues to worsen, the patient may experience temporary or permanent limping, and may eventually develop some systemic symptoms, the most common of which are weight loss or fever.

Malignant tumors are a terrifying existence. Currently, there is no good way to treat malignant tumors. Most patients will die after enduring a lot of pain. Osteosarcoma is one of the more common types of malignant tumors. Everyone should understand its symptoms in advance. So what are the symptoms of osteosarcoma?
1. Pain: The most common and obvious symptom of osteosarcoma is pain. Patients will experience varying degrees of pain, mainly because the expanding tumor tissue will destroy the bone cortex and constantly stimulate the periosteal nerve endings, so patients will continue to feel pain. Patients may gradually experience pain in the early stages, and as the disease progresses, the pain may continue to occur, and the pain will become more and more intense, and they may even be unable to walk normally.
2. Lump: As osteosarcoma continues to develop and worsen, some patients will experience swelling, and lumps and obvious tenderness will appear in the painful parts of the limbs. As the lump gradually increases, the area of ​​the lump will appear larger, and the temperature of the skin surface will rise, and there will be different degrees of squeezing and tingling sensations.
3. Lameness: As the pain in the limbs continues to increase, in order to prevent the pain from becoming more intense during the action, the patient may limp. In addition, long-term illness will greatly restrict the patient's joints and the muscles may also atrophy to varying degrees, so permanent lameness may occur.
4. General condition: Once a patient has a more serious osteosarcoma, the patient's general condition is relatively poor. Some patients will have fever, some patients will lose weight, some patients may even have anemia, and there may be a bad situation of lung metastasis. Therefore, as soon as the disease is discovered, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment to avoid the condition from getting worse and endangering the patient's life.
