CAchief;
I saw the picture of your x-ray. My son's fracture isn't complete, more of a bend with a crack at the top. He doesn't like tie harness, but feels that he just has to do it. How can an extra pill lead to further complications ?

The doctor my son saw is a Sports Medicine Ortho. What were you suprised at ?

My main concern is that while my son eats pretty good for his age, he consumes almost no dairy. He doesn't really like milk or cheese. I figured that 1 or 2 calcium pills a day would be helpful.
BTW - this is the supplement I am having him take :

I don't know about your son, but I couldn't even think about going into the figure 8 harness, I had to just go w/ the sling, more support.
I asked the doctor about supplements and he advised me that one extra calcium pill could help, do not take more than that as it can lead to further complications. Hope this helps. |
