7. Bone Pain

Occasionally, people with esophageal cancer develop pain that seems to ache from deep in the body. Usually, this is a sign that cancer has metastasized in the bones. The disease can also lead to hypercalcemia; this excess of calcium in the blood is drawn from the bones, which weakens them substantially, causing bone pain and other symptoms such as muscle weakness and depression.
