Diagnosis - Bone cancer
If you're experiencing bone pain, your GP will ask about your symptoms and examine the affected area, before deciding whether you need to have any further tests.
They will look for any swelling or lumps, and ask if you have problems moving the affected area.
They may ask about the type of pain you experience – whether it's constant or comes and goes, and whether anything makes it worse.
After being examined, you may be referred for an X-ray of the affected area to look for any problems in the bones.
If the X-ray shows abnormal areas, you'll be referred to an orthopaedic surgeon (a specialist in bone conditions) or bone cancer specialist for a further assessment.
X-rays
An X-ray is a procedure where radiation is used to produce images of the inside of the body.
It's a particularly effective way of looking at bones.
X-rays can often detect damage to the bones caused by cancer, or new bone that's growing because of cancer.
They can also determine whether your symptoms are caused by something else, such as a broken bone (fracture).
