Cancer in the body, leg prophet? This may make you feel thereDot outside, because we usually associate cancer with the origin of the tumorHair area (e.g., lungs, liver, stomach, etc.).However, sometimes Abnormal changes in the legs are a sign of cancer inside the body.
If you notice any of the following four leg abnormalities, it may mean that your body is "suggesting" you and that there may be an underlying pathology in your body. Be sure to pay attention!
1. There are 4 phenomena on the legs, so be careful
01. Persistent pain in the legs
Leg pain is a physical manifestation that most people have experienced, when it is found that the leg pain cannot be relieved for a long time, whether it is after taking medication or resting sufficiently, and as it becomes longer, the pain will gradually worsen, and the pain will be particularly severe at night in the later stage, it is necessary to be highly vigilant that it is caused by cancer.
02. I felt a lump
Normally, the skin of the legs should be smooth and delicate, but if there is significant swelling and lumps around the joints, it is a cause for concern, as this may be one of the manifestations of osteosarcoma.
This type of mass usually appears as an abnormally high bulge with a hard texture, superficial veins exposed, and varying degrees of tenderness on the surface of the mass and nearby soft tissues. Osteosarcoma is more common in adolescents, and although a lump is not necessarily a tumor, it is best to do further investigation.
03. Abnormal skin on the legs
In most cases, the skin color of the legs is not noticeably abnormal, but if you notice that the color is gradually darkening, you should pay attention.
For example, malignant melanoma can cause abnormal melanin deposits on the patient's skin, and as the disease progresses, the lesion will also enlarge, resulting in bulges, plaques and nodules in the affected area. Squamous cell carcinoma can also cause abnormal skin color.
04. Nerve compression, obstruction of activity
Lower limb movement depends on the control of spinal nerves, and when the tumor compresses the nerves, it affects the normal movement of the lower limbs.
