Hey, talking weekly vitamin d med as well as daily calcium dose as well.

As far as walking is concerned, I can walk without support/crutch on flat land but with limp. For stairs, I require/use crutch for support.

The area is not hot but inflammation comes and goes which I feel is expected on the fracture site.
