Bone cancer ?

Hi I'm 17 and usually well , so I've recently been experiencing pains in my chest that come and go it's like a tight sharp pain that comes every so often and I've recently noticed my left collarbone has become tender whenever I touch it and it has ached a little bit. I don't think there is any lumps on my collarbone nor does it appear swollen ( I don't think ) I am just slightly worried because I haven't been Injured and haven't slept on it funny , I'm just worried about what it could be that has caused this pain , thank you .

  • Hello and thank you for posting. 

    At your age it would be more unusual to have a cancer, and aches and tenderness can be associated with all sorts of things, not necessarily anything serious.

    This said we encourage everyone to get checked out if they have a new symptom or something unusual for them, so do give the GP a call and organise an appointment. 

    It might also be good to chat it through with someone that you trust so you share your concerns and worries.

    Take care, and hopefully you will know more soon.

    Sarah.
