My son was diagnosed with bone marrow edema after he broke his ankle. What is usually done for that?
Bone marrow edema (BME), which can happen after a trauma, is usually what is called a self-limiting disease. This means that it goes away on its own.

Pain from BME can come on gradually or very suddenly - there is no specific pattern. With rest, medication if needed, and time, the BME should go away on its own.
