According to research in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, a condition called complex regional pain syndrome, might be avoided by taking vitamin C. The syndrome most often follow an injury to a limb because of the changes in nerve function. If not treated early, it can lead to irreparable muscle damage, causing the fingers or toes to stay in a fixed position.
The study concentrated on 317 people with wrist fractures who were given either 200 mg, 500 mg, or 1500 mg vitamin C per day. 99 subjects were given placebo. Results showed that just 2% of those taking the 500 or 1500 mg dose developed the syndrome as opposed to 10% in the placebo group.
Bonnie - for an injury to the bone or soft tissue that requires assisted healing (surgical procedure or not), Quercetin and Vitamin C are a must. Vitamin C helps to renergize healthy cells and Quercetin reduces inflammation.
