My sister just had an accident and broke her foot/ankle, she is in horrible pain. Wondering if anyone ever broke a bone and was it much longer than usual to heal.
thanks.

Hey~I have RSD, and I have broken numerous bones. When I broke my right radius and my ulna it took much longer than usual for them to heal, even though they were not bad breaks. After a broken bone is put in a cast the pain usually subsides after a few days...and although I was put in a cast up to my elbow the pain never did. I hope your sister feels better soon. Good Luck

I have two bone fractures in my foot due to surgery and they are not healing as they should because of RSD. There is a unit that is rented and attached to the area while a person sleeps that emits an electrical stimulation which causes the bone to heal. I would suggest she ask her dr to prescribe one. I also am taking calcium with boron called (MCHC)which is the best suppliment you can take for bone healing.

Tripod, thanks for the info. Its been 3 months and the bone is not healing still. Dr said she has something now like osteoperosis , bone is now shrinking.
