YEs, it is a non-displaced fracture and doesn't go all the way through the bone. The podiatrist will be re-xray-ing in a few weeks to check the healing process and also before allowing any weight bearing he wants to make sure it is healed "enough".


I do need to take some vitamins. I eat yogurt every day, but I know that 's not enough calcium. And I know I need the vit C with the break. But darn it I already take SOOO many pills!!!

You can always get a calcium fortified orange juice to slug your pills down with. :) Also Vitamin D3 (the bioactive form) with K2 comes in a liquid from Thorne and you only need a couple of drops. In addition to helping you utilize calcium, Vit D is important for nerve health and low levels have been correlated with chronic pain. Deficiency is not uncommon. Even living in Texas and getting daily sun, my levels were low. They drop, along with so many other things as we age. :rolleyes:

Feel better soon, :hug:

Check out the Magnesium advocacy group on Facebook. Lots of success stories. They believe that we need magnesium more than D or calcium. One woman with low D, did not fill her doctor's prescription for mega D, instead she followed the mag protocol, which boosted her D levels.

Can't drink oj, I can't tolerate orange. Nice idea though. I know I need vitamins. I know. But seriously I have a LONG LIST of things to deal with (home health crap for hubby, school stuff for kids, social worker now calling about our situation....). And the money for vitamins. blargh.

I gotta start somewhere. Calcium. Vit C. Maybe get yummy chews so I'm motivated?

Gummies are great but not easy on the budget. You'll get a lot more value with tablets. Hang in there, :hug:
