Broken Ankle & little toe

[Eppy]

Good afternoon All

just catching up on posts and thought id let you know just to add to my intake of pills now have osteopenia

so decided to fall out the back door and break my ankle & toe lovely just what i needed

Hopefully i dont get the itch bad with the cast on 😳

Have decided to take Calcium citrate instead of the one gp prescribed just wondered if anyone has any thoughts on Calcium?

Hi Eppy, sorry to read about your fall and indeed I do hope the itch does not plague you.The NHS website has quite a good article on various vitamins and minerals, you may want to check it out. I don't know anything about calcium nitrate but I do supplement with a vitamin D plus K spray to support bone health. I have osteopenia diagnosed pre covid.

Wishing you well.

I take 1200 mg of calcium citrate + D3 per day split into 2 doses, morning and nite

At the advice of gynecologist and hepatologist. I take it same time I take urso, in the morning and at night. Hope the ankle and toe heal quickly. All the best

Thank you im taking a slightly lower dose of Calcium citrate but also take K2 as heard it helps with absorption of calcium and vit D

Im now in walking boot so hopefully the healing process has started

Take care 🌻

I recently had a Dexa Scan and also have osteopenia. Hep doc said keep taking calcium (I take calcium citrate), vitamin D and exercise.

thank you im going to gym when ive recovered from my ankle & swimming

Just feeling exhausted

yes, please let your body heal completely before hitting the gym. Swimming though should be okay but the other activities can wait.
