Fracture or Bone Tumor?

[Laura]

My 15 year old son started volleyball practice in high school two weeks ago, his lower leg began to hurt and after an x-ray he was referred to an Orthopaedic surgeon. That dr. wanted to immediately do a biopsy, he felt that there was a tumor on his tibia, after the MRI. I wanted to get a second opinion then the surgeon decided that it might be a fracture and decided to put the leg in a cast for 6 weeks. Should I continue looking into this or just let it go?

Hi

If you are at all unsure then always seek a second opinion. That's my advice!
