I have had my 4th and 5th vertebras fused. Now the pain has returned as I expected. What should I do now? My Dr. just says see the surgeon and he put me on 2000 mg. of vita D.

@dazlin Checking in with you to hear about your bone density scan results, if you care to share. I hate to be so silly here, but what do you do to make bone broth? Will any type of bone do? I am always interested in more natural styles of remedies, rather than chemicals, when possible!

When I was a kid, I was born in the Middle of the Great Depression ( was born in 1931). My parents di not have any welfare, and my mother had to make due with what she had. She made a soup that might interest you. She sent me to the butcher shop to get a bone (butchers gave them free and they were usually large bones that still had the marrow) and then she would send me to the corner grocery store for 10 cents worth of soup greens). The bone was put in a large pot of hot water to simmer for sometime, the greens were added with a potato, lots of rice (my father worked in a rice mill, when work was available, and was given 1 pound of rice a month). probably a carrot or rutabaker, an onion if we had one, and some organ meat (heart, liver, sweet breads etc.) My dad could get these free from the slaughter house, no one bought these organ meats and all of this was allowed to simmer for quite a while. Time to serve, bone removed. I did not have milk, it was too expensive, and the only time I did have milk was when a child who had paid for milk at school did not come to school. I might be one of the lucky ones who got milk that day. I think you would think I had rickets, but never did. Mom's soup saved the day.
