What are the more obvious symptoms of osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma mostly occurs in adolescents and children, and children are more susceptible to osteosarcoma. Osteosarcoma is a very dangerous disease, from the initial pain to life-threatening conditions. It seriously affects the growth of adolescents. Once there are symptoms of osteosarcoma, timely treatment should be sought to avoid death. So everyone should understand which symptoms of osteosarcoma are more obvious.

1. Osteosarcoma patients will develop a hard lump on the surface of the bone, which may or may not be painful.

2. Osteosarcoma patients will experience bone and joint pain or swelling, which often intensifies at night and is not necessarily related to activity; the pain may be continuous dull pain or only felt when pressure is applied.

3. Osteosarcoma patients may experience pathological fractures or deformations.

4. Osteosarcoma patients may experience fever, weight loss, fatigue, and decreased mobility. This condition sometimes occurs in advanced osteosarcoma, while benign osteosarcoma usually has no pain symptoms.

5. Osteosarcoma patients have persistent and unexplained back pain. It may just be back disease or back pain.

6. Patients with osteosarcoma have one or more fractures with no apparent cause. After the fracture is treated, the patient should be examined for osteosarcoma or osteoporosis.

7. Osteosarcoma patients will experience numbness in the distal limbs due to compression of nerves and blood vessels.

Pain is an early symptom and may occur before the tumor appears. It is intermittent pain at first, and gradually turns into continuous severe pain, especially at night. Pain of large malignant tumors occurs earlier and is more severe, often with a history of local trauma. The tumor near the bone end near the joint is large, with varying hardness, tenderness, high local temperature, dilated veins, and sometimes pulsation can be felt, and there may be pathological fractures. The overall health gradually declines to failure, and most patients have lung metastasis within a year.

If you have the above symptoms, you must seek timely treatment. Early treatment will make it easier to cure and relieve the pain. Delay will be life-threatening. I hope this helps and I wish you good health.
