First of all, I'm just 15 years old. Female.
I've been experiencing pain and discomfort only in my RIGHT knee and leg for nearly a year now. I can't sleep well recently. The pain is gradual. First it wasn't that bad, but now its really affecting me.
Doctors aren't taking me seriously! I've already seen a couple of doctors and all they do is just pass me around. They can't even name my sickness. And i'm so sick and frustrated about it already!
I hope some of you could help me. Please. I've already tried other forums but no one gives me their attention. I hope your the one who could help me.
Well, the pain/discomfort worsens at night or when my legs are at rest. It also hurts when i just stand for quite some time and when i do physical activities that involves my legs. Also when i just walk. the pain/discomfort just attacks suddenly. I really am confused.
I've tried anti-inflammatory drugs but they do not work.
Could anyone help me? Has anyone experienced the same symptoms?
I did some research and my symptoms keep saying BONE CANCER.
i just wanna be sure. I'm pretty scared. But i don't feel a lump. Does that already cross out bone cancer? or i don't feel the lump because its small or something?
i haven't done any lab tests thanks to the doctors i have seen.
Any tips on how i can get a doctor to actually listen to me?
Thanks so much!
Oh by the way,
