It seems that Stanton offers an online second opinion. I have never heard this before, any idea if its worth doing?

Harry, here is a thread from our vitamin forum all about the new data on Vit D:

Fixing this is a good start.

Hi. I was a pointe ballerina, so I have had many broken toes. Each one felt slightly different and healed differently. Some took longer, some were more painful. But my experience with broken toes is not going to be the same as yours, every body is very different. But I would like to still share some things I learned to see if it doesn't offer you any reassurance.
First, the broken toe will atrophy. Sometimes not all the muscles, but some will. Uneven muscle strength in a body part can result in something very similar to crps until all the muscles are back to their strength.
Again with uneven muscles, the structure of the toe can be compromised. With some muscle that usually hold things in a place being weak, this can result in nerve pain. The tingling, stinging or over stimulated feelings can be incredibly uncomfortable
And thirdly, the whole toe is affected by the break, think of it as a broken toe, not just a broken bone. Doing things on a broken body part will upset it and make it swell and can result in some pretty horrible aches and pains on your down time.
I suggest some ibuprofen and some ice. Not too much of either though. And maybe keeping a journal on your recovery, because like I said, if not all muscles are back to their strength it can result in chronic pain until they are entirely strong.
I hope this was helpful. Feel free to ask me any questions. And be happy.

Based on your advice and my doctors i picked up some vitimin D3, omega3 fish oil and a multivitimin. Thanks again for the advice.

To be honest I had a family member assist with the consult with Dr Stanton-Hicks. However if it was me in your situation I would go ahead with the online second opinion. You have documented your symptoms very well which will give him a pretty accurate picture. He is a very busy man so don't expect an answer right away.

My personal opinion is to try the supplements that have been suggested. They have been presented in a way that makes me want to try adding some more, as long as they do not interact with my current medications.

There are so many studies out that show magnesium is more beneficial than we thought. I currently take it because I used to get horrible migraines. The last really bad one I ended up in the hospital I was given it via IV and it helped so much. Also I have had doctors suggest it to patients for leg cramps and spams

Good luck
