Friends: 0 | Re: being stuck in a cast sucks I've read that you can speed up the bone healing process quite a bit (like 3 weeks instead of 6) by taking about 12 grams of arginine a day. Add another gram of citrulline to keep the arginine active a full 24 hours. Maybe start at 4 grams, and work up to the 12 as you confirm that there are no bad effects. Bodybuilders and old folks with arterial calcification use this sort of supplement all the time. It increases nitric oxide, and may increase release of growth hormone. At these quantities, you really want to use bulk powders. The markup on the same stuff in capsules is obscene. |

Friends: 6 | Re: being stuck in a cast sucks Darrel... ouch. That looks scary. Bit of arthritis damage to your big toe by the looks of the xray. Both my tinky toes have that same slant to them from RA... Joint spacing look pretty good though, no? |

Just had my Ulna / Ulnar (depending on which doctor you see) transported from my left elbow to inside my arm. Was in a cast for 10 days and won't let me do any strength training for 4 wks. The pin looks painful. That's what happens when you kick your nail Gun. | |
