I was dx with an osteoid osteoma last July. I have had the osteoma for at least 4 years. I have read things on the internet that say they usually resolve within 33 months but mine has not. It is painful, mostly at night, and aspirin helps. But, anytime it is touched or bumped it causes severe pain, and I work with kids all day so it gets bumped a lot. It is on the front of my lower leg--I think this bone is called the tibia. My questions are: has anyone had this and did it resolve on its own? How do I deal with the pain--is there some type of protective cover to keep it from being hit? Can and how is it removed surgically? Any other info is appreciated.
