The symptoms you have mentioned can be suggestive of osteomyelitis which is an infection of the bone. I recommend you to see an orthopedist immediately for a proper diagnosis and a therapy plan.

My mother has a small tumor on her elbow is it possible cancer?

Female | 48

There’s an urgent need for an expert like an orthopedic surgeon or an oncologist to inspect the tumor on your mother's arm. Not all tumors develop into cancer, so a thorough investigation is necessary to avoid any malignancy. Once it is confirmed that cancer is present, treatment alternatives can be explored.

I'm having difficulty walking because of an incident from my childhood, when I was 10. I don't remember much but when I was 10, I was climbing on a window while playing. Suddenly, pain shot up my spine. Maybe I was hanging there for 15 minutes, and a nerve got compressed. Something I figured out now after growing up. When I climbed down from the window, I couldn't walk properly; I was limping. We went to a doctor, he took an X-ray but couldn't find the problem. I couldn't get proper treatment. I remember I used to go to school with difficulty until 10th grade. Then, after my board exams, we went to a doctor again because the weakness had increased. Again, the doctor couldn't understand the problem. He referred me to Chandigarh. But before that, he gave me injections every week, I think they were for weak bones and nerves. I remember he said my nerves and bones were very weak. It was a temporary treatment. He said the effect of these injections would last for 7-8 years. After the injections, I could walk again like normal people. I just couldn't jump, but everything else went back to how it was before. But the effect only lasted for 3-4 years. I was 16 when I had the injections, and around 19-20 the problem started again. Actually, my mom got ill, she had surgery, and I used to help her with chores, and it started affecting my back. I remember whenever I used to do any work, my back would hurt so much. And again, slowly, I couldn't walk. Year by year, my body became weaker, and now I am completely bedridden; I can't even stand on my own. Because I'm confined to my room, I became depressed, and I started having anxiety issues. Sometimes I fear I might become paralyzed. So, I think the problem started with nerve compression in my back. I just want to know, will I be fine? What exactly is my problem? What should I do?
