Does taking Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 60,000 IU two weeks before a Vitamin D test affect the test results?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Taking 60,000 IU cholecalciferol within 2 weeks can raise serum levels temporarily and affect test accuracy. Its best to wait at least 4 to 6 weeks after stopping supplements before retesting Vitamin D to assess baseline level accurately. You should retest only after the washout period for reliable results.

For the past two months I have been having an internal pain in both my knees. My blood report is normal and there is no external swelling or redness. However, I feel internally as though my knees are numb and in spite of doing basic exercises I feel a pressure on my knees while walking. This problem persists throughout the day, making it difficult for me to even walk. As of the past two months I have been facing problems in walking and hence I take rest at home. The orthopaedic doctor checked my knees externally and said there is no problem. I request you to suggest the remedy that I should do to cure this problem as I am in deep pain. Thank you.
