What else can I do to help resolve this issue also known as transient osteoporosis? Any insights on time line before return to previous activities (yoga/dance teacher) or cause?
2 months ago through an MRI I was diagnosed with subcortical bone marrow edema in my right femur. Prior to that (May 2008) an MRI found an L4 bulging disc with a small tear. There was no specific injury event. I have been taking anti-inflammatory herbs and foods, keeping weight off my leg when painful, using a cane, crutches, or wheel chair of needing to go very far. I am practicing the Egoscue method hip exercises. I tried acupuncture, chiropractic care, and physical therapy during the first month with little relief so have been resting with the above mentioned self care. I'd like to hear of success with other people who have gone through this and what has helped and what to avoid. Thank you.
