A member asked:
I used to occasionally have pain in my kneecap which would wake me up at night when i was 14-16- no pain currently. likeliness of osteosarcoma?

Probably not: What you were experiencing is likely patellofemoral type pain. If you currently have no symptoms the likelihood of some other pathology is low. However, if you continue to experience pain at rest or pain that wakes you up at night you should be evaluated.
