Lump on shin

I recently went to my doctor about a hard bony lump on my shin, the doctor went through a few things including possible bone cancer! I am waiting to go for an X-ray, 

my lower leg has started to really ache and my foot feels tingly. 
is this normal? I'm trying not to worry but am struggling 

  • Hello Spike1974,

    Symtoms can occur for all sorts of reasons so there's no such thing as "normal". I understand you are worried that you may have cancer, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. The only person that can diagnose you is your doctor, so I hope your X-ray goes well.

    All the best,
