I'm a 23-year-old girl and I've been having back pains that get worse when I sit for a long time, like during my tuitions. It usually only gets better if I lie down. I'm thinking about taking Shelcal 500 mg since it has calcium and vitamin D3. Do you think it's okay for me to take one tablet every day to help with the pain? What do you suggest?

I've been dealing with a fracture in my fifth metatarsal since November 18th, and was told not to walk for 4 weeks. Now that I'm getting back on my feet, my leg isn't quite right. It's weaker and I have a medium level of pain around the fracture area. I had a new X-ray today, and while it looks a bit better, the fracture is still pretty noticeable. I can walk, but I'm only at about 60% of my former strength. Should I be concerned about not seeing more improvement at this point? What else could I do to heal better?
