in Bone Cancers #1
Ok it started with my arm hurting severly only in forearm. Went to the doctor and they gave me a shot of cortizone and ran an x ray where they saw a mass on my ulna. Then had MRI ran and was told radius was swelling and covered in calcium deposits the ulna is hollow and has a mass . Then sent for nuclear bone scone where i was told i lit up like a christmas tree but not the mass. They sent me to a bone specialist who never acknowledged the mass or swelling put me in a wrist splint and wants a nerve induction test done. My pcp said it was cancerous but then no one has mentioned it since I have severe swelling and pain in the arm am losing weight and stay fatigued have night sweats and feel sick at stomach and arm and hand goes numb. Just wondering has anyone dealt with this before and if so any suggestions on what to do to get someone to listen and figure out where to go.

    They gave me a cortizone
    They gave me a cortizone shot too and told me to wait a month. With a round lump near my testicle one on my pelvis and several in my leg. So your not alone.
