Brief Answer:
no, unlikely to be cancer

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

The symptoms suggest some problem in the joints (particularly the sensation of microscopic movement or rubbing). There is nothing to suggest cancer as per your description.

Maybe you could consult an orthpedician and get an XRay to arrive at the cause.

Hope this helps. I will be available for follow-up.
