A member asked:

Which is the best tablets for reducing subcortical bone marrow edema in heel ?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

I think : Protecting the heel from stress may be more important than taking a tablet. Walking with a came alter boot or even crutches may be a good idea.

Dr Rafat and another doctor agreed
