Infection In My Foot

Ron · #1 01-21-2008, 07:40 AM

Hi Everyone,

As most of you know I broke my Ankle in early Sept. & required surgery which involved placing two plates & screws in my right leg.
The metal on one of the plates has rubbed on the skin which has broke open the skin & it is infected.

I am on antibiotics & am away from work right now & taking Tylenol 3's for pain
(two at a time) and sometimes that doesn't take away the pain.

I have to wait until early May to get the plate & screws out as they won't remove them before the 8 month mark to give the bones time to harden.

Prayers are appreciated.

Thanks.

Ron

Hope you are taking calcium and Vit D supplements.

Absolutely!!

You don't store calcium anymore, so anything you have stored will be used if supplements aren't taken. Calcium aids in the promotion of bone growth and strengthening, and Vit D aids in the absorption of calcium.

Best to take with acidic drinks, like OJ instead of milk. Acid helps it to absorb better and faster.
