What are the early symptoms of osteosarcoma

Although osteosarcoma is a malignant tumor, it is not an incurable disease. As long as patients can achieve early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment, the cure rate is very high. However, some patients do not know much about the early symptoms of osteosarcoma, thus ignoring the early treatment of osteosarcoma and missing the best treatment time. In order to encourage more people to better understand and pay attention to osteosarcoma, today I will introduce to you what are the early symptoms of osteosarcoma?

Osteosarcoma is common in the lower limbs, and it develops very quickly and deteriorates very quickly. Most patients have already developed lung metastasis when the disease is discovered. Therefore, paying more attention to the details of life is the key to discovering the disease:

1. The patient has irregular dull pain in the limbs, which is initially manifested as intermittent pain and soreness around the joints, which is usually effective with the help of painkillers. However, as the condition worsens, the pain becomes more severe and lasts longer, and general drugs are ineffective. In addition, the pain will radiate to other parts of the body.

2. Swelling and lumps gradually appear around the joints, and the whole body is accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as increased skin temperature and venous distension; the lumps will continue to grow, and the patient's symptoms will become more and more obvious.

3. Pain unrelated to exercise will occur, which is most obvious at night and is mostly caused by tumor growth. When the patient is in motion, the degree of joint pain will increase.

4. The condition worsens very quickly, and in severe cases, there are signs of worsening every other day.

5. In addition to bone and joint pain, patients are also prone to systemic symptoms such as fever, anorexia, and weight loss.

After the onset of osteosarcoma, it will first affect the patient's normal walking ability, and then induce many systemic symptoms, which will greatly affect the patient's normal life. Therefore, for osteosarcoma, when you are sick in life, you should respond to treatment as soon as possible to avoid further aggravation of the disease.
