I'm glad your foot is feeling better. The guy your talking about does he maybe not want to do pills because you said he controls his other issue just by diet? I do know on all the docs I have seen only 1 recomended the b complex. All have just focused on there pain meds or meds like neurontin. I think very little docs in general say the supplements. My friend who is a nurse said that the docs know more about the prescription med and also the companies really try to sell to them so they focus on what they know.
