5. Injury to the Bone
Any previous injury sustained to the bone can be something that irritates the bone surrounding it and causes calcification of more bone on top of this – and thus, bone growths that aren’t supposed to be there. If you’ve ever broken or fractured any bones in your body and notice that the area where the fracture was has started to feel raised or different in any way, see your doctor – and talk about the possibility that this could be caused by bone growth.
If this is the case, it’s likely that you will experience some pain or discomfort around the area, and you might experience swelling around the area as well. Never ignore any symptoms that make you feel pain or discomfort, especially if you can tie it to growths – it’s true that not all growths are non-cancerous, and the only way to tell whether it is benign and can be removed (or needs to be treated in a different way) is to order tests.
