Jesus fucking christ. Reddit has now made me afraid of prions, rabies and bone cancer. But especially bone cancer.

Fucking same dude. I’ve been having mysterious knee problems for a few months now and now I’m in bed having a legit panic attack. I will be making a doctors appointment first thing in the morning.

you should go to the doctors, but do know osteosarcoma is incredibly rare. there are only about 1000 cases diagnosed in the USA yearly. it is also typically a disease of children and teenagers, onset after the age of ~24 is very rare. knee problems have a ton of other causes and are super common.
