i was diagnosed with this awful illness when i was 19, which is actually considered old for it's typical onset. i had been experiencing extreme pain in my right knee for about 6 months, accompanied with quite a bit of swelling, when it got to the point that i could no longer bear weight on the leg without crying. when i went to the er they did an x-ray and discovered that a portion of my right tibia was gone. i was then sent to an oncologist in denver, co that specialized in sarcomas and an orthopedic surgeon that specialized in limb preservation.
