Misdiagnosed Knee Pain Reveals Shocking Cancer Diagnosis

A 27-year-old woman from New Zealand, Amy Haigh, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a high-grade bone cancer, after initially assuming her sore knee was due to a horse-riding injury. Despite seeking treatment from physiotherapists, a chiropractor, and an osteopath, her pain persisted. It was only after a personal trainer recommended a scan that the true cause of her pain was uncovered.

Early warning signs include the presence of a growing lump, bone pain and tenderness, joint swelling and stiffness, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue. Diagnosis involves blood tests, imaging techniques, and a biopsy, followed by treatment options such as chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy.
