What are the symptoms of osteosarcoma? The most obvious is pain

Osteosarcoma is a very serious tumor. Once it occurs, it will cause inconvenience to daily activities and life. Severe patients may need amputation due to osteosarcoma in order to save their lives and prevent the spread of osteosarcoma. After the patient has symptoms of osteosarcoma, he needs to seek medical treatment in time. Many people may not have known about osteosarcoma, so what are the symptoms of osteosarcoma?

1. Symptoms of osteosarcoma
1. Pain <br/>Patients with early-stage osteosarcoma will feel pain in the affected area, and the swelling will last for several days or weeks. In the late stage, varicose veins will occur. The local skin will become red and the temperature will rise significantly. Joint swelling is a very normal phenomenon, and there will be intermittent pain. The pain will be more obvious after taking the medicine at night.
2. Limping <br/>Many patients find themselves suffering from osteosarcoma because they feel uncomfortable when walking. They will feel soreness in their legs and feet when walking. And their lower limbs will be numb and weak. However, the symptoms will be relieved after squatting, and they can continue to walk. However, such symptoms will recur, which is called typical intermittent claudication in osteosarcoma.

3. Joint movement is blocked <br/>When osteosarcoma occurs, the joint will be blocked in any direction. Especially when stretching outward, there will be obstacles. Long-term stretching blockage will cause adhesion of the joint capsule and soft tissues near the shoulder, and the mobility will be greatly reduced.
2. How to care for patients with osteosarcoma
1. Psychological care <br/>When patients develop osteosarcoma, their lives will be very different from normal lives, and they will feel fear, tension and other emotions. Therefore, it is necessary to provide psychological care for patients, eliminate the psychological anxiety of patients, and enable patients to actively cooperate with treatment and care.

2. Postoperative care <br/>After the osteosarcoma surgery, the patient needs to be cared for. Observe the patient's vital signs and whether the wound is bleeding. Especially for patients who have undergone amputation during the operation, it is necessary to maintain the blood circulation of the limbs. In addition, they need to rest in bed, reduce activities, and keep the blood vessels unobstructed.
3. Diet care <br/>After the patient has been treated, especially after surgery, it is necessary to refrain from eating food or liquid food. During the subsequent recovery period, the patient can eat high-protein food to replenish the body's energy.
