I injured my left foot in Sept. Went to ortho Dr. who came in looked at the xrays and said the nurse will come in to put a boot/cast on. 2nd visit two weeks later, the Dr. took another xray this time looked at the foot and sent me for an mri. The mri showed intense bone marrow edema in the foot. She told me to stay off the foot for four more weeks and to sleep with the boot on. The big toe is spread away from the other toes and I wanted to ask what this all means about the bone marrow edema? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
