This particular type of cancer, known as Sarcoma, occurs when harmful cells develop in the bone or soft tissues of the body. According to Dr. Daniel Lerman, an orthopedic surgeon from Colorado, individuals should be aware of symptoms such as a persistent, pulsing pain that is difficult to describe and resembles a toothache.
“Don’t ignore a persistent, intense, pulsating discomfort. It’s important to have it examined.”
CBS Colorado interviewed Dr. Lerman.
It is important to pay attention to your body’s signals, and to stand up for yourself and your loved ones.
