My Doctor said that I was not healing and I need to bump up my Protein. He said if I dont things could bad. I didnt want to know what that could be. But now I wish I would have asked him. However I will increase my protein. I really was not getting the mininium in.

What did he mean by "not healing?" Did he take an x-ray or a different test? Would like to know if you don't mind.

I know you need Protein for healing. I think if you do not get enough protein, you would be at increased risk of infection.

Keep an eye on it. If it gets ANY redder, give your doc a call. Better safe than sorry!
