Mushy bone marrow is caused by Osteomyelitis, which is an inflammation of the bone marrow and surrounding bone. The bone marrow swells and presses against the bone's blood vessels when a bone gets infected, causing parts of the bone to die and the infection to spread to surrounding muscles and other soft tissues.
