When expanding: pain associated with osseous metastasis is common. For the most part the small lytic lesion associated with breast metastasis is aymptomatic until the lesion enlarges and expands rib or vertebral body so there is stretching of the periosteum. Percussion over site can initiate symptoms which respond to chemo and RT-now localized cyberknife treatment.

Persistent, progress: Pain from bone metastases is typically persistent and tends to get worse with time. Other symptoms may be in the form of fatigue and sometimes weight loss due to progressive cancer.
