B12 is actively involved in bone formation. So you might try it anyway as a helper to heal the fractures.

If you smoke, try to quit. Smoking inhibits bone fusion and healing too.

Don't use ibuprofen or other NSAIDs all the time for pain, as they also slow bone growth and fusion. A little aspirin here or there may help but just not all the time. Try to use Tylenol if you need pain relief for now.
