Please treat this as just expressing an opinion, but here's the situation. A very close relative of mine, 60 years old, has had all the following symptoms over the last year or two:
- knee pain in the mornings
- elbow pains
Just about 4-5 months ago, he developed a pain in the hip area, close to the groin and "deep down". This pain resolves with analgesics.
After a lot of cajoling we forced him to go in for an x-ray, a radiologist hasn't seen it yet, but the internist said that it looked like a lytic lesion.
Given his history, and knowing nothing else about the case, should I be worried about a malginancy? Or do RA cases also manifest the same way?
thanks in advance
