lowe1961 45 Posted July 19, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlimShadyinLV 7 Posted July 19, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pretty-pink 43 Posted July 20, 2012 I know you need Protein for healing. I think if you do not get enough protein, you would be at increased risk of infection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pretty-pink 43 Posted July 20, 2012 Keep an eye on it. If it gets ANY redder, give your doc a call. Better safe than sorry! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
