Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you may be having pain due to osteoarthritis in left knee. However it can be confirmed by x ray of both knee AP view in standing. Its treatment is Diacerine and glucosamine. Analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief can be useful. It is unlikely to be due to cancer. However it needs confirmed by bone scan. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
