I develop a pain in the neck and knees ocassionally. When I got a test done, the Vitamin D has come insufficient (17.89). Please advise.
Welcome to HCM. Start vitamin D3 sachets or d3 60k tab. once weekly. Intra muscular B12 injection will be helpful. Apply local nsaid gel and oral nsaid wth muscle relaxane will give some relief. Recurrent history requires x-ray for further evaluation. Eat good nutritious,high calcium and protein diet.take morning sun bath. Start exercise regularly after getting cure. Consult your orthopedician for better medical management.
