I think with your inflammation and slow healing you could use

Vit C 500mg a day (to prevent RSD formation)
Antioxidants, like curcumin, or astaxantin, or eat lots of strawberrys, tart cherries, and blueberries.

Essential fats like fish oil... help with healing too. Take a Centrum Senior vitamin (or its generic) for the other minerals like zinc.
(Iron free)

Vit D3, if you haven't been tested up to 2000 IU daily. This will help with calcium absorption for the bone healing. Continue with the B12 as it is useful also for bone mineralization.

Try to stay off the foot when possible, and keep it elevated. If you do not improve with the magnesium lotion and Salonpas original formula, then it is time for a second medical opinion.
