What could cause Bone Pain?!
Question: What could cause Bone Pain.?
This morning when I woke up, I was just chillin in bed for a minute, and my shin bone started to hurt. It hurt for maybe 3 seconds, and it didn't hurt very badly. I din't think much of it, but it has happened about 45 times since I woke up. Why the hell would my BONE hurt.? And why is it coming and going.? I haven't done anything exercise or anything lately. I'm 23 years old and I am afraid of EVERYTHING.
It really doesn't hurt that bad, but I notice it, and it makes me anxious. Like it's bone cancer or something.?Health Question & Answer

Seems like it's been happening most of the day then.? Sometimes it is difficult to tell where the pain is actually coming from, despite the fact it may feel like it's very much from a particular source (eg. like the bone pain you're describing). Apart from bone, this could also possibly be radicular nerve pain - pain caused from compression of a nerve somewhere in its course between your shin & your spinal cord.
Bone pain can be caused by quite a number of things, including trauma (which you haven't had) and infection (known as osteomyelitis). Cancer can certainly cause pain as well, although bone cancer is often accompanied by bone swelling that can be felt. There is also the entity of 'growing pains', although you're too old for that.
If the pain doesn't settle down by tomorrow or so, it may be worth getting a medical check & X-ray for reassurance.Health Question & Answer
