--- Begin Message ---If your bones are straight then they probably won't do surgery after 7 wks, but depending you might need more calcium and time it took me from december to august to heal my first break of the tibia/fibia which was broken through both, but the second time I broke them they were only fractured a lil lower (it took from june till september to heal) but they healed inside -out instead of outside- in, believe me at first it didn't seem they were healing at first. Sometimes the growing bone process just takes more time just becareful of how much calcium, because I was getting more calcium deposit in my bladder also get some sun on it the vitamin D from the sun helps too it did me at least. I know everyones different. or take calcium w/ D. But remember it takes us more time to heal than the average person especially bones. So, don't get to discouraged, it will heal just in its own time.

I broke mine about seven weeks ago and there's been no sign of healing. No attempt by orthopedics was made to reduce the fracture and x-rays taken just last week have shown no bone growth and the separation of the bones is still the same. I've been pushing for some sort of surgery, but haven't had much success. What's been your experiences? Richard, C 3/4, 65 post 14 1/2
