The difference between lumbar disc herniation and bone cancer

Bone and joint pain, bone lumps and movement disorders are considered to be the three main symptoms of bone tumors, especially bone cancer. However, many bone cancers do not have typical clinical symptoms in the early stages. The clinical manifestations of bone tumors are not specific in many cases. Lumbar disc herniation can also cause the above symptoms. So what is the difference between lumbar disc herniation and bone cancer? Let's listen to what the experts say:

In recent years, the incidence of cancer has been increasing. Everyone's panic about cancer is getting worse and worse. Today, we will learn about the early symptoms of bone cancer so that we can make early judgments.

What are the early symptoms of bone cancer?

1. Systemic symptoms: In addition to some typical bone manifestations, bone cancer patients may also experience systemic symptoms such as fever, weight loss, and decreased activity.

2. Unexplained fractures: The patient may have unexplained fractures, which may be one or more, which is a typical symptom in the early stage.

3. Bone deformation: This is also a common condition among patients, and symptoms of bone deformation will appear in the early stages.

4. Joint swelling and pain: Pain is an important symptom after bone cancer. It usually manifests as bone and joint pain. This pain may be a continuous dull pain or may occur under pressure. The pain will be more severe at night. After the pain, the patient will experience swelling, local skin temperature rise, congestion, redness and other symptoms.

6. Limb numbness: In the early stages of bone cancer, patients often experience numbness in the distal extremities due to pressure on the body’s nerves and blood vessels. If you often experience numbness in your extremities, you need to be alert to whether it is bone cancer.

7. Bone surface mass: Patients with early bone cancer will have an obvious mass on the bone surface. This mass is more difficult to feel, but it does not necessarily cause pain. Some patients will feel obvious pain, while others will not feel pain.

Through the above introduction to the early symptoms of bone cancer, how much do you know about the early symptoms of bone cancer? I hope that patients can discover the disease as soon as possible, receive treatment as soon as possible, maintain a good attitude, have confidence in themselves, and believe that they can recover.

First of all, the two are completely different in nature. Lumbar disc herniation is a benign disease caused by the normal tissue structure of the human body changing its position due to some reasons, compressing the nerves and causing waist and leg pain. It can be improved and cured through treatment and active exercise, and even if the back pain exists, it will not be life-threatening. Bone marrow cancer is an abnormal proliferation of tissues and a malignant disease. The symptoms caused vary depending on the location of the growth. Once the pain continues to worsen, it is a serious disease that threatens life.

Secondly, the symptoms will also be different. In the early stages of bone cancer, patients have one or more fractures for no apparent reason. After the fracture is treated, a check should be made for osteosarcoma or osteoporosis. Patients with bone cancer who have persistent and unexplained back pain in the early stages may simply be suffering from a back disease or back pain. Lumbar disc herniation is a common multiple disease. The cause of the disease is a series of symptoms such as low back pain, soreness, numbness, etc. caused by lumbar disc strain and degeneration, annular rupture or nucleus pulposus herniation that stimulates and compresses the spinal nerves and spinal cord.

It is easy to distinguish the specific disease by going to the hospital for relevant examinations. But you must see a doctor as soon as possible.
