snoboy Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 Healing bones in general... Â Calcium. Â But calcium needs other factors to be absorbed, like magnesium. Oxalic acid (present in coffee, chocolate, rhubarb, spinach and other foods) can prevent calcium absorption, and seems to have been a factor in the slow healing of a friend's leg. Â Research it with google, lots of info out there. Quote
catbirdseat Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 Collar bones seldom heal as good as new. There is no practical way to set the bone and I guess it isn't worth it to do surgery. My brother broke his playing soccer long ago. It doesn't bother him today, but you can feel a bump where the break was. Quote
swaterfall Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 broke my right collar bone twice. sux but fairly minor in the grand scheme of possible injuries. 4-6 weeks and if you usually sleep on that side you're really bummed. Quote
kurthicks Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 Not mine but a friend in need. Â mountain biking injury, perhaps? Â I broke/dislocated my collarbone years ago and never went to the doc. there's still a huge bump where it connects to my shoulder, but the pain went away in a couple weeks. good as new now, but it's been about 9 years.
