There are several issuess with bone edema, firstly in the beginning pain starts some time (12h-36h) after the exercise so at start it can be misinterpreted regarding connection to exercise, secondly bone edema has less defined feeling of origin of pain, more like general discomfort in that area. General loss of origin of pain sometimes leads to misdiagnosis e.g., pain in tibiae plateau usually is misdiagnosed as meniscus injury and leads to operation which in the end does more damage than good. In later stages, pain grows so high that you may feel short weakness of the limb e.g., leg with knee in certain angle shows muscle weakness and pain but with the change of knee angle, function and strength of muscles is restored.
