Question : Hello,
I had a benign bone tumour removed from my left fibula bone in 2002. I am now experiencing bone pain. Always worse at night and on using my leg. Frequent discomfort. Difficulty with movement.

I have had to start using a walking stick.

I find I usually 'run out of power' quickly.

I weigh 64KG.

I am afraid if I ask my doctor for a x-ray request, and nothing shows up, I will feel like an idiot.

I have had arthroscopies and a lateral patellar release in the years since the removal of the benign bone tumour.

You may see for vitamin deficiencies.

Detailed Answer:

Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You may be having vitamin and trace elements deficiencies. You can get vitamin D and vitamin B 12 . If found low you can take vitamin D3 and Mecobalamin. X ray may be useful to see the condition of your leg and to find out any disease. Analgesic such as ibuprofen is of help in pain relief.

You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
