A member asked:
I have an ache in my left leg, mainly around my knee/kneecap. is it likely to be anything serious like bone cancer or something more common?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why do you ask?: While these tumors are not commony, this is the right age and a likely location for osteosarcoma. If it's bugged you for more than two weeks, or it actually bothers you much, get seen.
