hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised

As you had a bone fracture which was misdiagnosed with bone cancer and on a medication for long it is not advisable. As medication should be utilized only when the pain is unbearable. also, too much medication will lead to kidney damage and I fear the physician will take a chance.

Physical therapy is a parallel treatment for reducing pain and majority of patients in my clinical practice have been helped. I wish you the same from you.
