Specializes in Sports Medicine

Get it checked: You should see an orthopedic surgeon and get x-rays. He/she will make further recommendations based on findings. Based on your description, you should not delay this or put this off. It may be nothin but may be a bone tumor that requires further evaluation and treatment.
