Hi. I started with this strong pain on the outside of my right leg, from the knee area down to the ankle. The pain went away, but a burning pain developed right over the fibula and now I have a small soft lump. I am scared to death that it could be a bone cancer. Help me, please. Thank you
Hello, I don't think this is cancer, so please be relaxed. Because cancer cannot be just predicted by all such soft lumps. For now, I will advise you to do icing and simple exercises for the lower limbs to have a balancing strength on both sides. Usually, you get pain and aches if there is any ligament injury like a sprain in the knee and the swelling of the adjacent joints as they take maximum stress for the weight-bearing. Your pain should be fine after icing and simple exercises. In my clinical practice of over 12 years, most cases have a ligament injury in the knee and the symptoms of the tibiofibular joint are examined. With icing and simple exercises for correction of muscle, an imbalance has regained full functions. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
