Can an osteochondroma (tumor) form on shin bone?

I have an osteochondroma. Should I be worried?
I was diagnosed as having an osteochondroma on my femur near my knee and a small cyst inside my knee after visting an orthopedic surgeon for knee pain. I do have a prior history of injury to that knee. The knee pain I was experiencing did not appear to be due to injury sudden severe pain when I wasn't really moving but would last for a few days and was gone. I haven't had much knee pain just a touch of stiffness since I got custom arch supports for my feet. The osteochondroma was diagnosed when I went for x rays and an MRI of my knee. My doctor does not think that the osteochondroma was the source of my pain i'm not so sure since the spot he pointed to on my leg where the growth is is where my knee pain was . I am a 21 year old female in generally good health. My doctor wants to see me for further x rays in April or May and will x ray both knees in order to do comparisons. I know my one leg is longer than the other.I do not have any cartilage or ligament injuries, so that was not the cause of my knee pain.My knee leg started hurting again tonight after I bent it when I was playing with my dog. It seems to be about where my doctor pointed out where the osteochondroma was. My leg now feels sore and the muscles are really tense right near the bottom of my femur top of my knee on the outside of my right leg which was where the osteochondroma is . This is about the same spot I had the intense pain before. At least this pain isn't as bad. When I initially felt the pain i felt almost like something went snap in the vicinity of my knee joint end of my femur.I'm not supposed to go back to see the surgeon until april or may when I get another set of x rays, but if this happens again I might go back sooner. Or at least go talk to my family doctor about it. It seemed like my knee was fine since november except for one night. I got orthotics in november too and they seemed to help with some of the problems with the area, but now the pain is back.

What are the hospital costs involved in surgical removal of an osteochondroma on the distal end of a femur?
Im a 24 year old male. I have learned that with osteochondromas that you want to wait until you are at an age of skeletal growth completion. I have whats called an osteochondroma on the distal end of my left thigh femur located just above my knee, angled halfway between the anterior and medial inside towards my right leg side of my femur. It is the most common place for osteochondromas to occur. It is close enough to my knee to cause pain upon full flexion. Im serving overseas in afghanistan at the moment and I doubt the army will pay for this type of medical issue so Im curios to see on the civilian side from those who have undergone the procedure what I can expect in medical costs in the surgical removal or the osteochondroma. I understand that cutting through muscle as if it had been located mid way through my femur, would incur higher costs due to longer recovery and physical therapy. Im looking for average cost for the customer who follows the doctors instructions afterwards im a combat medic who understands fully the importance of FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS lol. Thank you for your time

Osteochondroma question?
I'm 15 So I have an osteochondroma in the middle key word middle of my femur Because of the placement my doctor told me that usually people get more of these tumors all over their body. He didn't find any by feeling my arms legs and head after and before the surgery but should i be worried about more tumors forming growing else where on my body? I'd ask my doctor or physical therapist but i got out of physical therapy a while ago and its expensive to schedule an appointment with my CHOP doctor. Also, I know it could be genetic if I have kids are they going to have these this tumor?Yeah so thanks. I know some of you are probably rolling your eyes because i should just be grateful i got out easy but it just stresses me out I was really lucky shouldn'tt have been able to use my leg because of the size and placement of it and i had a great chance that it was cancer and also that after the surgery that a would split my femur in a kajillio pieces.
