Suggest Treatment For Bone Contusions With Oedema In Navicular Bone
Hello sir..
I have got an extra navicular bone in my right foot. 6 months ago I suffered an injury in which my ankle got twisted.. After that I took a long rest. Still whenever I play, or run, the bone stings a lot. I did MRI also. It says 'Bone contusions with oedema in navicular bone, calcaneum,talus bone,adjoining portion of talocalcaneum joint, cuboid bone and lateral cuniform bone.
What would be the appropriate treatment according to you ??

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Best treatment for bone edema is complete non weight bearing to your right foot for couple of weeks and anti-inflammatory medicines. Extra navicular bone in my opinion is just another term for an accessory ossicle present which is painful and gives you similar symptoms as posterior tibial tendonitis. I would highly recommend wearing a cam boot at least if you can't afford to stay on your right foot, and at least two weeks on NSAIDs or medrol dose pak which your primary doctor can prescribe to reduce bone inflammation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Samuel Parmar
