How best to heal your body?
icey: Good lord, that sounds painful. Hopefully you have a rapid recovery.Your doctor is probably the best source of information regarding exercise.As far as your diet is concerned, you should just focus on eating as healthily as you can. Your body is going to heal itself at it's own pace; assuming your normal state is not one of malnourishment, you should be planning for what happens towards the end of your healing process. By that, I mean you're going to be largely immobilized (I assume) from this injury, so the best you can really do for yourself is to try to keep your overall health up in a general sense.I wouldn't focus on calcium rich diets versus a balanced diet - a balanced diet is almost always better, and then you don't end up with follow-on side effects of drastic diet.Beyond that, all I can recommend is you follow the advice of your physical therapist. They make not sound logical, but they're good at what they do.
