Difficulty Sleeping
Even though your body and mind are exhausted, bone cancer makes it difficult to fall and stay asleep. The cause is pain. The constant throbbing and burning in your bones will keep you tossing and turning throughout the night. Furthermore, as the tumor grows, laying down could put pressure on the surrounding tissues and organs, adding to the pain and discomfort.
OTC and prescription medications can be used to blunt the pain. Doctors may also recommend therapeutic exercise or other modalities, such as yoga, massage, or acupuncture.
