Thanks to the delightful amount of rain in Les Gets in the last few days, I took a tumble down a set of very slippy marble steps last Wednesday landing on my ass with the impact going through my spine. After visiting the local 'medicins de montage' and a ambulance trip to the provinical hospital, I was told that I had a small compression fracture in the seventh vertebrae of the thoracic vertebrae. I have to take three months off the bike and any other sports for it to heal properly.
Can I take any supplements, adjust my diet, or do any stretching or light exercise to promote healing or speed up healing time?
