In bone marrow necrosis, there is poor circulation of oxygen and nutrients to the bone marrow cells , causing the cells to die. Bone marrow is the spongy tissue inside some of your bones, such as your hip and thigh bones. I would suggest getting home oxygen, even if saturation is good, our cells need more, I have it for comfort basis at level 2. Get rid of stress any stress level is detrimental to our health. See if you can find a naturopath. They are amazing

Hope this helps.
