Bone pain
Maybe this is the biggest sign that something is wrong with your bones. The pain is initially dull and might not concern you, but over time it will become increasingly severe. Usually, this pain is achy and comes from the hips, back, or chest. Also, it can be more severe in the morning, right after you wake up, and will not get better if you rest.
Not all pains mean that you have bone metastasis, but it is advised to inform your cancer care team about any new symptoms you are developing.
Weakness and numbness
If cancer has spread to the spine, it can press on or squeeze the spinal cord. This is called spinal cord compression and is generally a severe condition. The spinal cord has many nerves that help you move and feel your body.
If those nerves are pressed on or squeezed, they will not respond well, and you can feel numbness and weakness in the area of your body that is below the tumor.
Most of the time, this will happen with your lower body, and you can expect to experience difficulty controlling your bowel movements and urinating.
