An Unidentified Mass In Throat, Believed To Be Tumor. Severe Pain In Leg. How To Confirm? Possible Treatment?

I have an unidentified mass in my throat that I believe to be a tumor. How can I ascertain that it is/isn't a tumor, and whether it's benign or malignant? I also have severe pains in my right leg, of which I believe to be bone pain. How can I find the right pain medications, and how can I find the right walking cane? How do I find the right anti-depressants?
