Chronic Osteomyelitis

My age is 31 years and from age of 18 I was experiencing a pain in my left thighbone, pain usually lasts for 2 or 3 days and occur once in three or four months or sometimes pain occur one in 6 months and at that period of time I visited to many orthopedic doctors and they always asks for an x rays and could not made a diagnosis. But at the age of 26 the pain start occuring more frequently like one or twice in 2 months. At the age of 27 I consulted another orthopedic doctor who checked me and prescribed for some tests like blood test Xray and ct scan Imaging. After all the tests the doctor diagnosed chronic osteomyelitis in left femur and told me that this is not a big issue as you were having this from early time and aslo the doctor suggested when ever you are dealing with the take a painkiller or paracetamol and just forget about it. But Now before three months I consulted another orthopedic surgeon who is also a orthopedic professor he also told me for some tests like MRI Xray and blood test and he also diagnosed the same I. E chronic osteomyelitis. And told me the same thing that early doctor told me and when I asked what medicine or treatment should I take he said you did not require any treatment  but you should follow up in five to six months and I am confused  what should I do As most of the brilliant orthopedics did not gave me any treatment but still I feel the pain once or twice a 2 months which last for 3 to4 days. Help me out
