Hello,
Your symptoms are not suggestive of cancer, because it does not hurt. The fact that it hurts, is indicative of local inflammation or infection. For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR and an X ray study).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
