Ping the bone breakers

News from fracture clinic not good.

Top tips for making bones heal please.

 

Electromagnetic cage. Something to do with aligning the magnetic flux
along the axis of bone growth, which helps drive ion flow and encourage
the bone to 'reach' across the gap. Sounds like hippy tripe, no idea
how you set up the magnets (it's got to be done RIGHT or it's no use),
it was mentioned during my degree mumble years ago.

 

Patience, Calcium supplements, exercise. Try to get around as much as
possible on the bad leg. I wore out 3 sets of tips in 8 months on my
crutches. Also helps minimise the muscle wastage,

Oh, and patience, did I mention that

If you get your hopes up (like I did) you just get depressed at yet
more time in plaster.

Heal soon,

Cheers,

Paul.

 

lol. I think I should get one of those for my fuel line ;-)

Sorry to hear that. More surgery required?

Dunno. In recent years (on and off here) I've noted that healing time
and ability seems to vary hugely, with some people having no probs and
others having loads. e.g. I had about <gives up counting> over twenty
bone breaks to heal, and they'd all done so in three months. Champ's
leg needed several attempts, but got there in the end. Frag seemed to
have the worst healing ability of anyone I've met, or a skeleton made
out of cheese. I've not been able to draw any conclusions.

 

It's an age thing. I think if I was younger, i'd have healed faster.

Now i'm over 40, [1] I have no intentions of breaking myself again.

Cheers,

Paul.

[1] Yes, I know that's hard to believe ;-)

go and talk to the Catholics.

 

Orgone Box. You've got to believe in it though or it's no use.

 

If you wanna get into it, you've gotta get out of it.

 

Err, not entirely.

I'm quite a few years older than you are.

To be fair, I'm not 100% recovered[1], and probably never will be, but
the bones themselves knitted very nicely in a very short time.

Hah, like you did before.

Next you'll be saying you'll only own one bike and one car.


[1] I can do anything I could before - it just hurts.

 

no, hth.

 

Never heard any evidence of that. Certainly not accepted medical
wisdom. Maybe some old wives know better.

 

I wouldn't want to drink tea that wasn't cumfree

 

Don't smoke.

Move around rather than sitting in front of the TV.

Eat healthy food.

Take a decent multi-vitamin/mineral supplement (pointless when you're
healthy, but can help when injured).

Quite likely. Sounds vaguely familiar.

Ahh, here we go. Yes, you posted about it. I didn't.

And lookie here - you couldn't find any evidence then either

 

Don't break any!

Oh, there was another earlier discussion

Yeah, and yeah. I'll reply later.

 

No idea but I might speculate that drinking lots of milk or some other
calcium rich supplement might be a start.

 

Good balanced diet, with possibly a litle extra cacium. Also ask your
fracture clinic about TENS or similar electrical stimulation.
