10 Bone Cancer Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Inflammation
When a cancer develops it causes swelling in nearby tissues. Swelling doesn’t always take place and is most common in areas where there is a high density of nerves and other tissues. This can be quite tender and sore to the touch and can also be visibly red externally.
Swelling can get worse as the cancer develops and can become increasingly painful. Such inflammation is often treated with anti-inflammatory medicines and pain-killers to help make the patient feel more comfortable. Any unexplained swelling could be an indicator that something is not right, and that you should make an appointment to see a doctor.
