Question

I've been diagnosed with myositis ossificans and really want to avoid surgery what are some effective non-surgical ways to manage the calcification and reduce symptoms? Are there specific exercises, medications, or lifestyle changes that can help slow down or reverse the condition?

Myositis ossificans can be treated conservatively with NSAIDs, physiotherapy, and avoiding repeated trauma. Surgery is avoided unless severely limiting movement.
