Does Folic Acid Deficiency Cause Back Pain?
I had slipt and fallen down and hurt my vertebrae about three of them perhaps. There was no fracture but since August this year its paining me. The pain has lessened down but my family doctor recommended various blood tests and they show that Im very deficient in folic acid and sodium too. I have been also put on tablets of Folvit too. Will the pain disappear over a period of time? Please do answer.

Folic did deficiency does not cause pain. But you could also be having Vitamin D deficiency which can cause pain. Get tested and treated accordingly.
