Hi
Went through your post and understand your concern as back pain could be crippling sometimes, your orthopedician has done one thing which isn't good and can be dangerously harmful and that is vitamin D injection wkly as much I know each vit D injection contains 600000 units of vit D so you will be receiving a total of 4800000 lakh units daily requirement is 400 it can cause extremely high blood calcium levels and renal failure. I would suggest you don't take any further injections of vit D And you can start sustained release pregablin 75mg once bed time that will help for backache and discuss with your orthopedician regarding vit D so that he doesn't prescribe it to others.
