How do you treat bone marrow edema?
Okay, I have NO idea how I did this, but my foot has hurt like crazy for 13 weeks now. Finally, my doctor ordered an MRI, after x-rays showed absolutely nothing. The MRI says that there is severe bone marrow edema in my cuboid bone with bone bruising. The prognosis from the physician is 4 to 12 months to heal. Is there anything I can do besides taking an anti-inflammatory, meloxicam in this case, that will provide pain relief or speed the healing process?
I have been tested for osteoporosis this week and do not have it. I'm just wanting to know if there's anything I can do to help this heal.

Bone marrow edema is just swelling in the bone itself. It is only a recently recognized entity due to the advent of MRI.
There is not a lot that can be done about it and it just needs time to heal.
