Symptoms of leg bone cancer may include: Pain in the affected leg that worsens over time, particularly at night, swelling or a noticeable lump on the leg, especially around the bone, weakened bones that break easily, even with minor injuries, difficulty moving the leg or nearby joints, causing stiffness, feeling tired or exhausted without a clear reason, unexplained loss of weight as well as occasional fever without an infection.

It will be very crucial for you to go for a comprehensive medical examination as soon as possible in order to rule out any possible threat of bone cancer.
