Hi everyone

It's been a while since I posted on here.... Health Anxiety had been EXCELLENT...until this week, when I have developed an intermittent burning pain in my left, upper arm... Now worried about Osteosarcoma (bone cancer)....despite less than 600 cases being reported in the UK each year... anyone had anything similar?

I haven't had anything exactly like that, but I have had occasional intermittent aches in one or the other upper arms that are better with stretching. But I take a medication that has muscle aches as a side effect.

Burning pain sounds muscular to me. Have you been doing anything that might have triggered it? I've had soreness or tiredness that worried me, and then later in the day I'd remember I'd done something really obvious recently to cause it, like shoveling snow.
