10 Ewing's Sarcoma Symptoms
Symptom #5: Bone Pain
As mentioned elsewhere, Ewing’s sarcoma is a cancer of the bones. As such, bone pain is one of the main symptoms of the sarcoma. Usually, the tumor affects the long bones of the legs and the arms, especially the femur which is the longest bone in the leg. The cancer usually affects the middle portion of the bones, which is also called the diaphyseal region.
In general, bone pain worsens during the night or with increased physical activity. Also, the extent of pain depends on the affected area. For example, if the tumor affects an arm, the pain will be different from that due to a tumor in the foot.
