Bone cancer is treated with NSAID's and radiation. I have never heard of a MRI relieving bone cancer.
Morphine and other narcotics are used to treat pain for bone cancer, but Acetaminophen and Ibuprophen have been found to be most effective.

MRI is Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Used for diagnostics and not for treatment. (5 star xrays)
