Question
I have been experiencing pain in the front of my calf bone for a long time, especially at night. Is this a possible symptom of osteosarcoma?
Answer
Hello, thank you for your question. First, let me clarify that pain alone is not sufficient to diagnose cancer. Pain can be caused by various factors, including injury, overuse, and inflammation. Regarding your condition, I suggest you first go to the hospital for a leg X-ray. Through this preliminary examination, we can better determine the possibility of a tumor. Please describe the duration of your pain, whether it is continuous or intermittent, and the specific nature of the pain, such as whether it feels like a knife cut, tear, or needle stick.
