What Could Cause Inflammed Bone Marrow In Tibia With Stress Fracture In Tibia With Significant Fracture?

I have inflamed bone marrow in a large portion of my tibia as shown on MRI. I have a stress fracture in my tibia that won't heal (3 months). The MRI also revealed that I have a significant fracture in my tibia. Why would my bone marrow be inflamed?

My blood work is all within normal range as well as SED rates.

Hi..

Bone marrow inflammed due to constant stress placed on the bone for a long period of time.. this phenomenon is responsible for the fracture of tibia as well..

If you are under my care..then

I want you to completly restrictions bearing weight on affected leg... atlaest for6weeks
Frequent Icing on the affected area..and on calf muscles as frequent as once in every 2 hours for 15 mins..
I will put you on a good glute rehab exercises...like clamshell...bridging..prone leg lifts...
core stability workouts like dead bugs..Hundreds...Superman reach...
stretching of glueus...hamstrings...quads...calf and hip flexors.. frequently...
I would put you on a compression sleeves in the legs
Since your blood work is normal I want you to take diet rich in calcium...
