A member asked:
When you break a bone is there anything you can do to make it heal faster before doctors operate?

Yes: While there are no pills you can take to make your bones heal faster, living a healthy lifestyle does help. Smoking is a huge risk factor for poor healing. If you are a diabetic, maintaining good control of your blood sugar levels is also important.

You can optimize : The conditions for healing, and avoid things known to delay healing, but you can't speed up the rate at which bone heals.
