My question is that if she takes that then whether she will be out of pain. Even My vitamin D is only 3. please suggest for myself.

Vitamin is D can give her partial relief. But rotator cuff tear is a painful surgery and her pain will be there for at least 3 to 4 months. I would suggest you to give her pregabalin and methyocobal tablet.
