    Re: Fractured 5th metatarsal recovery time??

    Very good advise, tell me how do you use the Turmeric? I've been reading on other sites to mix it with egg white and put on foot, others say take a quarter teaspoon of it in water and drink it? I do have a foot bath and do believe in Epson Salts for bathing so all very good ideas. Please let me know how you used the Turmeric.

I posted earlier im taking tumeric for inflammation. this has helped me alot but with anything you may want to check with your doctor to make sure you can take this as it may interfere with some medication if your taking. as well It is good to adopt a stretching program for your foor, try circles in each direction. few sets each way, as well you can buy stretching bands place behind toes hold with your hands and bend feet forward
    as well try using epsom salt bath for your feet to open your pores, buy one of those cheap feet baths, i soak it every so often. it helps
    but you know every injury is different. injuries vary from person, age, and other underlying issues play impact on recovery
    make sure to listen to your body.

    Re: Fractured 5th metatarsal recovery time??

    I would advise you to go to health food store buy turmeric in pill form which had high absorbancy rate
    I use one cost me 20 bucks bottle it has helped
    For turmeric to apply it on skin works mostly for open wounds
    I would recommend just taking pill daily to assist with inflammation and pain
