Persistent Back and Bone Pain
Back pain is such a common occurrence these days that most people think it is caused by sitting too long or having tight muscles. Because your lifestyle can have an effect on your musculoskeletal health, it is easy to overlook back pain and believe the ache in your bones is just old age.
That said, persistent pain in the back and in the bones could be a sign of cancer in the spine. You will be able to differentiate this pain from usual back ache. Instead of the muscles or tensing, the pain will feel like a deep-rooted discomfort or tenderness.
Some cancers can spread into the bones, including prostate cancer. In fact, for many types of cancer, bone and back pain is the first—and often missed—sign.
