Had another xray on my leg and progress extremely slow- still in
wheelchair at least 7 more weeks until nextxray...darn Kate

crud!  i'm really sorry that's happening to you.  that can be such a
downer.(((((((((((((((((((((Kate))))))))))))))))))  now, you just ask that
leg to co-operate with your desire. and tell it i insist!  solid bone and
quicker!  how're your vitamin d levels, hon?

i just read something that stated a little, emphasis on little, extra vit.. d
helps boost healing broken bones faster.  natch, that article would catch my
eye, since i still have the fibula non-union from september and am wondering
about whether or not this femur is going to heal. (hmmm . . . i suppose a
femur non-union rerun won't matter for me, since the both titanium rods are
permanent anyway/either way, though.)

questions, Kate :  when exactly did you break your femur?  and are you still
having pain in it?  (i'm wondering cuz today my pt said she thought my leg
pain should be done by now.  it's not, though it's not at the original pain
level by a longshot.  it's been 2 months and a week for me, since june 19th.
but it doesn't take much to get it hurting enough, especially my hip and
knee.)

I'm on 50,000 IU vit D every 3 weeks, 2 citracal per day, boniva, read
an osteopenia/porosis website which recommended strontium (600ish) mg
and boron3mg...quit caffiene and soda tho I still have chocolate now
and then, eat 3 servings dairy minimum...sigh
Answers-I broke mine 6/11 and yes I still have some pain at times-
mild aound the knee area.
speaking of silly things the phone rang early this am and half awake
and half scared I jumped out of bed forgetting I had a broken leg and
tried to walk- as I sank rapidly groundward I remembered and made it
into the chair which is how I got xrayed today. Luckily I didn,t hurt
anything. Does your leg feel strong cuz mine does not Kate
.
