I have an avulsion fracture that has not healed even after 7 weeks in plaster. I recently did blood tests, which showed low vitamin D levels. I have started taking vitamin D tablets.

Delayed healing of an avulsion fracture after 7 weeks may be linked to low Vitamin D or calcium levels. Continue Vitamin D supplements as advised, and ensure good dietary calcium intake. Healing can be slow, especially in areas with less blood supply or if mobility was restricted. Follow up with an Xray or ortho consult to assess healing progress.

It has been 8 months since COVID recovery. I still feel pain in my knee joint, sometimes in the waist, hip joint, and joint vicinity while walking. I do mild exercise daily in the morning and walk 1 hour after dinner. My weight is 62 kg. I have had chest pain for 2 years and have done all cardiac-related tests. They were normal. Please suggest some solution.
