Message: [QUOTE="Mr. Mark, post: 572168, member: 17049"] I broke mine last November (high sided). The X-ray showed 4 pieces, big gaps. I panicked and went to two doctors. I figured I'd need surgery. It healed fine on its own. I wore a sling and a back brace but there are all kinds of reports that say the back brace is no better than the sling. I wore both for a month. I tried taking calcium suppliments but they only made me constipated. 2-3 glasses of milk or dairy products is all your body needs. I had full mobility after 8 weeks. It feels completely normal now (4 months). It takes weeks for a fibrous mass to surround the break and begin to stabilize it. Don't worry. Keep it immobile and give it time. Listen to your doctor. Eat right. Magnets? Good luck. Mark [/QUOTE]
