Infections can reach bones by traveling through the bloodstream or spreading from nearby tissue.
Common symptoms include pain, fever, and chills. Treatment is usually surgery to remove portions of bone that have died. This is followed by strong antibiotics, often by an IV, for at least six weeks.
Treatment will depend on the severity and your specific condition.
