Hi Dr. DiGioia, 

Last night while getting down from the attic in the garage, I lost grip while hanging and landed on my knees. It was very painful and bruised almost immediately. Today my knees are swollen and feel slightly out of place, but pain is not as severe. Is it possible to have a fracture or dislocation, without severe pain?

Hi Dr DiGioia,

Last night my daughter was seen in the ER for a sprain with weight bearing pain.  The ER dr found a bone cysts on her tibia. It was 6 inches above the growth plate, so involvement isn't there. Is this indicative of bone CA?   She is 13, has a benign heart murmur.  Family hx of ostoearthritus (me) and maternal grandmother. No meds, NKDA

Hi Dr.,

I have been seeing a hemotologist for increased wbc and lower back and abdominal pain. I have had a bmb, which showed no leukemia cells. I had an MRI of my left hip which is showing a bony growth on my left hip and into the labrum.  I have been refered now to an orthopedic oncologist who can further investigate and diagnose. Can you tell me what the possible diagnosis are for these symptoms? Thank you for your advice.
