10 Signs Of Bone Cancer

Bone cancer is a malignant form of cancer that begins in the bone and destroys normal bone cells. This unusual kind of cancer affects both adults and children. Most people who have a disease in their bones develop it from the secondary spread of another cancer. This condition is called Metastasis. Some of the common risk factors associated with the development of bone cancer are previous chemotherapy, diseases such as hereditary retinoblastoma, tuberous sclerosis, or prior treatment with radiation therapy. It is important not to avoid these telltale signs of bone cancer. Keep reading to learn more about the symptoms of bone cancer.

1. Bone Pain.
One of the most common complaints of patients of bone cancer is a consistent pain in the affected bone. The pain may not be constant at first; it can come and go, but gradually becomes chronic. Typically, the pain is worse at night. However, it can also ache during the day, such as pain in the legs while walking. As cancer spreads, the pain tends to remain there all the time. With more physical activity, it increases even more.

2. Swelling And Redness.
You will experience swelling and tenderness in the affected area if you develop bone cancer. However, inflammation may not be visible in the early stages of cancer. It usually shows up after a few weeks. You may feel a lump or mass deposition on the site of the tumor. If a bump develops in the bones of the neck, then inflammation can occur in the back of the throat. This condition will lead to problems swallowing.

3. Fractures Due To Bone Weakness.
Abnormal growth of cells weakens the bone as the disease grows. In most cases, the bones do not fracture or break. However, you might complain of sudden severe pain in your limb. This sign is especially notable after it has been tender for a few months. Bone cancer can make the bones so weak that they can break even after a minor fall.

4. Limping.
Limping is a common symptom seen majorly in people who develop bone cancer in the leg. It is a condition where a person is not able to walk correctly. If you contract this symptom, you may favor one leg due to damage of bones. Even in dogs, the first sign of bone cancer is lameness in the style of their walk – limping. The reason being, bone cancer starts in the more massive bone of the leg in dogs. So, if you or your dog has been experiencing limping for unknown reason lately, contact your doctor.

5. Unexplained Weight Loss.
Sudden loss of weight that is not caused by stress, physical workouts or, a changed diet plan can be a sign of bone cancer. Typically, you will experience weight loss along with bone pain. This state requires immediate medical attention. As the body won’t be able to get rid of wastes easily, you will experience constipation. A loss of appetite will follow, leading to unintended weight loss.

6. Fever.
Among the set of different complications associated with bone cancer, contracting a low-grade fever is a telling sign. Though not every time, but in a lot of cases, bone cancer can trigger a fever. Not only will you have a temperature, but other symptoms as well. The temperature is usually low-grade, from mild to moderate. It should be around 99 degrees but can be higher in some cases.
