For those of you still suffering - along with the walking and please do walk, I asked for advice at the health food store. I'm so impatient with healing! Anyway, along with the Calcium and Vitamin D, they suggested Magnesium Citrate = to the Calcium for better absorption and also Collagen (ladies, this will help your nails and hair too ). I take a high protein, low carb powder with lowfat milk daily. I am convinced this is helping. I am taking a lot of other vitamins (A, E, C, etc. ) and I know they aren't cheap but neither was the surgery ya know? And I sure don't want to go through it again.

Just some food for thought. It can't hurt afterall and for those with artheritis and degenerative bone disease and women going through the dreadfull change, you need more anyway. Don't expect immediate results, it takes time. My neuro is all for it and agrees it sure can't hurt and is probably helping.

Personally, I want to get back on that golf course as soon as the weather clears!
I had C6/7 ACDF seven weeks ago and as soon as I could swallow well (within a week) I went back to my normal regimen of Vitamin D, Calcium, Magnesium, multi, and Glucosamine. I figure it can't hurt. Everything looked fine at my six-week x-rays (although obviously, nowhere near fused). But I feel REALLY good and my operation was very successful!! I do think the vitamins and minerals help.

I plan to learn how to golf this year, too!
