Not healing at all
I hope I can get a answer...or reassurance. I broke my toe severely around the first of July. See pic) It was set by the doctor and buddy taped and I was non weight bearing for 4 weeks, walking "as tolerated" since. Every two weeks I've been xrayed. At 6 weeks it still showed I have had ZERO healing. I'm now very concerned. My MD basically shrugged and said they've done all they can.
I am a type-2 diabetic with neuropathy, but my sugar is well controlled. My A1C is under 6 with my meds and really, it was never over 8 at the very worst. The doctor had prescribed Vicodin, but I seldom took it because the neuropathy meant I felt little pain. I have, however, taken prescription strength ibuprofen every single day for back issues. I've taken it for years. At NO point was I advised it would inhibit bone growth and healing. I learned that from my chiropractor just yesterday! I immediately quit taking it, but, am I screwed? Will it heal after so many weeks have gone by? This is really starting to scare me a bit.
