Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern about the patient. As per the scan report you sent (attachment removed to protect patient identity), though the metastasis is widespread, she has relatively improved as far as bone is considered (sclerotic).

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. From the description, your symptoms are as similar to Osgood-Schlatter disease.

Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.Having blood spots over the skin is a sign of a hematoma (blood collection), which could be the cause of soft tissue injury in that area.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. The image you sent (attachment removed to protect patient identity) shows that there is a bruise over the metacarpophalangeal joint that is at the base of your fingers. You might not be able to move it in all directions because of hematoma in that region or some tendon or ligament injury. Chance of fracture is less, but has to be ruled out with an X-ray. Use ice packs (not hot pack) to reduce pain.
