Patient's question:
Hello Director Chen! We had an MRI at Shanghai Children's Medical Center on January 30, 2015. We originally went there because the area below both ankles was painful after intense exercise. However, the MRI report later showed a patchy shadow in the medullary cavity of the left femur, possibly a benign bone tumor lesion, non-ossifying fibroma? (The MRI was taken incidentally). Then the doctor recommended surgery, saying it was a lesion and advised surgical removal. I asked the doctor if my son's foot pain after intense exercise was related to this, and she said it wasn't caused by this and that it had nothing to do with it. She said the foot pain was due to calcium deficiency. If it were a calcium deficiency issue, we wouldn't be too worried.Additionally, I would like to ask Director Chen, do you need an appointment for your Monday clinic? We have already bought tickets for Monday and plan to come.
Doctor's answer:
Please take a photo and upload it for examination, and then I will provide a diagnosis. In this case, whether to have surgery or not, it is recommended that you bring the child to see me. Children's physical resistance is relatively weak, so they are prone to pediatric tumors. For parents, do not be impatient and should promptly take the child to a Class III-A hospital for examination and treatment. Also, pay attention to regular check-ups for the child and use medication reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
