Asked by Female, 30 · 1 day ago

It is common to experience persistent discomfort after Giant Cell Tumor (GCT) surgery due to scar tissue, joint changes, or nerve sensitivity during high-impact activities. For pain relief, generic over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help. Physical therapy is also highly recommended to strengthen the area and support your joints. Because GCT has a risk of local recurrence, it is important to consult your orthopedic specialist. They will likely order routine imaging, such as an X-ray or MRI, to evaluate the site. If the tumor has returned, targeted medical therapies like denosumab or surgical options can be safely discussed.
