Understanding Bone Cancer: Ten Key Symptoms

8. Difficulty Sleeping

One of the most unpleasant symptoms caused by bone cancer is difficulty sleeping. This symptom is often the result of bone pain, which makes it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. Moreover, having cancer can often have consequences for mental health, which also contributes to the difficulty in falling asleep. What’s especially painful is the fact that during night time, the cancer mass often presses uncomfortably into joints or other surrounding organs. It may help to take over-the-counter pain medication. Yoga and other mental exercises may also contribute to calm the mind.
