I found out before Thanksgiving that I have a stress fracture in my foot. I've been in a walking boot for 5 weeks, and it's not healing. Has anyone had issues with bones not healing?

I feel like my immune system is shot. So many things have gone wrong this year on top of flaring.

have you been checked for osteopenia or osteoporosis? how is your circulation? I have not broken anything so I can't totally say but i did chip a bone when i hurt my ankle several (maybe 5) years ago. I still have pain in it though less frequently than early on, but I am sure it did not heal properly because of the issues I still have. Give it time though.
This year was a very rough year to say the least! Lets hope 2017 will have better days!

I would take a calcium supplement that has MCHC in it. It is excellent at helping with osteoporosis and healing broken bones. Some orthopedic surgeons recommend it to heal stubborn fractures.

I had a bone scan earlier this year and no signs of osteopenia or osteoporosis. I think my circulation is OK...I do get cold feet, but don't turn blue. My mom has poor circulation in her feet so mine don't look like that. I do take a vitamin D supplement as I run on the low side for that. I don't usually tolerate calcium, but will try again to see if it helps. Will look for it with MCHC.

I do hope 2017 is much better!
