Do not use D2 which doctors still prescribe.
Low D will impair any bone healing.

Low D promotes osteopenia and osteoporosis.

If you drink alcoholic beverages this also
Affects the feet and nerves. Same with smoking,
As smoking reduces blood flow to the legs and
Feet.
The dose for D3 is 1000IU daily for every 10 points
You need to raise. Use 50 as your goal.
So for example-- a level of 20 needs 3000IU daily.
Also, go to Walmart and get the Morton Epsom lotion
And apply to the top of your foot and ankle about
A quarter sized dollop and rub it in daily. This will help with
Pain and swelling better than epsom salts. $5.95 in the first aid
Section.
