Osteomyelitis: A bone infection varies by location in its impact. However no matter the bone involved principles of treatment are governed by whether it is a new or acute infection or an older or chronic one, what the infective agent is, general health of the patient, and treatment t date. Other considerations may be surgical treatment which varies by these criteria too. RX is complex and involves many docs

U mean Osteomyelitis: One will have fever, chills maybe, pain in the affected bone, with redness, local warmth, severe tenderness, difficulty to move the adjacent joints. Throbbing pain & overlying skin might breakdown with obvious pus draining. One needs early Diagnosis an immediate treatment with I/V antibiotics, surgery to decompress the affected bone or maybe even removal of some dead bone. See an Orthopod soon.
