A member asked:

Can bone marrow cause pain? my dad was told he has a spot of bone marrow on his back . he is always in a lot of pain.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unclear information: Lesions in the bone marrow can cause pain. However, "a spot of bone marrow on the back" is not medical term in common use. It may be helpful to discuss it with his doctor.
