Is right elbow joint pain a sign of bone cancer?
Disease description:
A few days ago, I accidentally twisted my arm while moving things, and it has been hurting ever since. Could the pain in my right elbow joint be bone cancer?

Possibly. It depends on the patient's specific symptoms. If a lump appears in the elbow joint, it could be the case, and the patient should promptly go to the hospital for examination and receive treatment based on the results. If redness, swelling, and pain are caused by factors such as tears or contusions, the patient needs local symptomatic treatment, such as immobilization or physical therapy. If the condition is due to rheumatic causes, avoiding cold exposure and applying heat packs may help.
