Removal is necessary when the fibroid causes pain or pressure, abnormal bleeding, or interferes with reproduction. The fibroids needed to be removed are typically large in size, or growing at certain locations such as bulging into the endometrial cavity causing significant cavity distortion.
Bone pain affects almost 70% of people with multiple myeloma and is one of the most common symptoms. [2]: 653 [23] Myeloma bone pain usually involves the spine and ribs and worsens with activity. Persistent, localized pain may indicate a pathological bone fracture. Involvement of the vertebrae may lead to spinal cord compression or kyphosis.
Uterine fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyomas, fibromyoma or fibroids, are benign smooth muscle tumors of the uterus, part of the female reproductive system. [1] Most people [note 1] with fibroids have no symptoms while others may have painful or heavy periods. [1] If large enough, they may push on the bladder, causing a frequent need to ...
Diagnosis with transvaginal ultrasonography can potentially be challenging due to the similar appearance of uterine leiomyomas (also known as uterine fibroids). Careful evaluation of the margins of the mass, the vascular flow patterns through the tumor, and the degree to which the tumor distorts the uterus may aid in differentiating these ...
It causes swelling and pain in the legs, especially the calf, and (rarely) in the arms. [19] The superior vena cava (a large vein carrying circulating, de-oxygenated blood into the heart) may be compressed by a tumor, causing superior vena cava syndrome, which can cause chest wall pain among other symptoms.

Many venomous snakes can produce myotoxins in their venom, causing myolysis either locally, at the site of a bite, or systemically throughout the body.

Pain on walking that confines the patient to bed indicates possible cancer adherence to or invasion of the iliacus muscle. Pain in the hypogastrium (between the navel and pubic bone) is often found in cancers of the uterus and bladder, and sometimes in colorectal cancer especially if infiltrating or attached to either uterus or bladder.
