I have just had an MRI on an Osteochondroma in my inner thigh, slightly above my knee, and have been reassured that it is 100% benign. From the MRI the doctors can tell that it is 23 mm wide and is pushing on my tendon and that is why it is giving me pain. I want to get it taken out, but I'm not sure what the survey/recovery will be like. How long will the surgery be? How long will I have to be in hospital for afterwards? How long will it take until I can walk properly again? I know my orthopaedic surgeon will be able to answer all of these questions for me but I would much rather know now instead of waiting for my consultation. I am female, and 14 years old, if that makes any difference.
