"List of other diseases, conditions, or
injuries and their treatment: i am
experiencing a unique problem ,, from
quite a few years .. when i was 12 i had
slight pain in my right knee,, there was a
swollen bulged part in the front part of
my knee,, slowly my knee became weaker
than the other ,, and gradually one half
of my body became smaller (i.e.. there is
a considerable difference in the
size/strength of my right half skeleton
and left half skeleton )now i have become
very lean , m also loosing hair . ,i
consulted many doctors but none were able
to figure out what the problem was.., i
fear that it might be cancer ..........my
biggest concern is that I think it is
spreading ...and the situation can
worsen..."
Cancer can manifest with whole / entire
body weakness but typically does not
appear as a weakening of only half of the
body. If, indeed, you had been diagnosed
with bone cancer and had gone without any
treatment for such a length of time, you
would probably be dead by now. Muscle
weakness sounds like a symptom of a
neurological disorder. Therefore, you can
consult a neurologist about the condition
to follow up. Furthermore, pain and
swelling of the knee is under the medical
jurisdiction of an orthopedist.
