What are the symptoms of thyroid bone metastasis?
Thyroid bone metastasis refers to the bone metastasis of thyroid cancer. Generally, bone metastasis of thyroid cancer develops into the advanced stage, and its symptoms mainly include pain at the metastatic site, movement disorders, pathological fractures, etc. Here are the details:
1. Pain at the metastatic site: Due to the metastasis of cancer lesions to the bone, there will be obvious pain at the metastatic site. Initially, the pain is mainly intermittent and may be relatively mild. As the disease gradually progresses, persistent severe pain may occur.
2. Movement disorders: After bone metastasis, with the gradual increase of tumor lesions, they may compress joints and nerves, causing movement disorders such as unstable walking, tremors, and even paralysis.
3. Pathological fractures: When cancer cells erode bone tissue, it leads to decreased bone density and bone strength, making it prone to pathological fractures, such as those caused by running or minor collisions. Swelling, sensory disturbances, and other symptoms may also occur.
If you have the above symptoms, it may indicate bone metastasis. You should visit the hospital as soon as possible, cooperate with doctors for detailed examinations and early treatment, in order to control the onset of the disease and extend survival.
