That does not sound like fun. I hope it heals up fast for you.
Bone fusion is suppressed by smoking and NSAIDs (and steroids).
So take tylenol if you can.
To maximize your absorption of any calcium you consume, make sure you are taking enough Vit D.
From a supplement, absorption is around 20-25% per dose.
25% at the higher end from calcium citrate form. But with Vit D you will absorb much more.
