>> Last fall I broke my fibula playing soccer, wore a cast for 6 weeks
>> and it healed just fine. In April, I broke my tibia (again playing
>> soccer) and was non weight bearing for 5 weeks. I've been weight
>> bearing for over 8 weeks now and still have pain with daily
>> activities. My physical therapist and my family doc said that they
>> expected my symptoms to be decreasing faster and we all expected
>> that I would be back to running by now. I am nursing my 15 month-
>> old 8-10 times in a 24 hour period.
>> I had my vitamin D level and calcium level checked when I had this
>> second break. My vit D was 15 and my calcium was within the normal
>> range (I can't remember exactly what it was). I have been taking
>> Vit D (2,000/day) since then.
>> My questions are...Do lactating women heal fractures slower than
>> non-lactating? Am I at a higher risk for a non-union fracture
>> because I am lactating? Does lactation have anything to do with
>> this? Thank you for your thoughts.
