redness <\/a>are unpleasant things to experience, no matter where they happen to appear on the body. The face, the limbs, the intimate areas, they can all be affected from time to time. Parents often jump to conclusions with redness and rashes on their children, whilst many adults tend to ignore swollen parts of their bodies. Neither of these approaches is a safe bet. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSwelling and redness around the joint on a limb or near to a joint can be an early sign of an osteochondroma developing, especially if nothing else can explain the cause of that particular swelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It could be an insect bite or an allergic reaction, but usually, people are well aware if they have been bitten, stung or have ingested something they shouldn’t have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Swelling and redness together can be cause for alarm, but just as with the discovery of a tumor-like mass, calmness is advised in order to begin to establish the cause of the symptom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n8. \tIncreased pain when lifting (arm) or limping (leg)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n If an osteochondroma is developing on a person\u2019s arm, they may experience awkwardness and increased pain when lifting the affected arm, as the tumor site is aggravated or irritated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the person is developing an osteochondroma on their leg, they may develop an otherwise unexplainable limp. In both examples, osteochondroma might be suspected if there are no other plausible explanations for the worsening pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Muscle pulls, overuse or repetitive strain <\/a>injuries are a few examples of things that might explain the pain, but if these have been ruled out, increased pain when raising an arm, or the development of a limp when walking, could well be early warning signs of the development of an osteochondroma. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIn isolation then, as they are listed above, most of these symptoms would most likely be seen as inconclusive in terms of ascertaining any self-diagnosis of osteochondroma, given the sheer number of other factors that they could be attributed to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
