Are Tests For Vitamin B12 And D3 The Treatment Procedures For Knee Pain?

Posted on Thu, 19 Feb 2015

Question: I am suffering a mild pain in right knee from Last week. So, I went to see the physiotherapist. She instructed me to do two exercises for knee pain for 1 week and told me to visit again after one week. She also told me to get some tests done for Vitamin B12, Vitmamin D3 and one more (that I dont remember).

Please let me know is it the right time to get these tests done or should I wait for some time.

Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query.

I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level right now. Deficiency of these vitamins can present like this. Continue doing knee strengthening exercise under guidance of your physiotherapist.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
