I’m so sorry for your diagnosis but I’m happy that I’m able to help a bit in raising awareness. I’m hoping you have a good orthopedic oncologist that you follow up with regularly? They are the best type of doctor to manage patients with MHE in my opinion. Best wishes to you!
@@JMGardnerMD Yes, I have a great orthopedic oncologist but haven't seen her in a while due to it being out of state and the hospital stopped taking my insurance... However I do have a doctor in town that I see and if I have any issues I will go back. I'm at the age where my tumors have mostly stopped growing. Now it's mostly trying to manage pain.
@@JMGardnerMD I had surgery 3 years ago on a tumor that regrew after puberty from a regular orthopedic surgeon and they tested it. No cancer. However, that surgeon didn't know much about my condition, but I couldn't afford my orthopedic oncologist due to the insurance issues.
Glad to hear you are getting good care and are doing well. I think general orthopedic surgeons can probably easily manage removing painful osteochondromas. But if you ever have one that becomes suspicious for malignant transformation on imaging or something like that, you would probably want to consult with your ortho oncologist. Also, Your ortho oncologist may be willing to discuss your management with your current general ortho should any questions come up. Best wishes for good health.
Thank you very much Dr. Gardner, this Monday I'm going to have a procedure to remove it from my angle by another great doctor. You have explained so well that even a patient like me understand it. I still have to work on my pronunciation of naming the procedure!!!😁 Have A Blessed Holiday

Greetings Dr. I have one on the distal femur that looks pointed and sharp under x rays. It keeps annoying me when it scratches on fibres. it feels like as if I am going to cut something in my leg when I walk. I want to go for the surgery but I heard that it might grow sharper again. Is it true ? And if it is true what are the chances that it might grow again? And how much time it takes to grow ??
my son has a similar Osteochondroma (hump) like the extra bone growing from the spine neck area, it doesn't make any pain or anything like that but is if very prominent from the back when he looks down. Does it need to remove in the future?
