I am going to the VA on 1/12/12 so I was just trying to find a free answer to my hurting forarm, after about three days I felt my arm and found a lump about as big as a marble and soft. It hurts when i push on it. My mother died from bone cancer that started in right arm.
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.
