Hi Doctor, for the past one week, I have been experiencing pain in my lower back, especially in the mornings. The pain tends to improve as the day progresses. I had a similar issue a few years ago, and at that time, my doctor said it was due to a lack of calcium and vitamin D, which was confirmed by my blood test. I want to know if this could be the same problem again, and what should I take to get relief from this morning back pain?

Morning back pain that improves through the day may be linked to low Vitamin D or calcium deficiency. Please repeat Vitamin D and calcium tests to confirm.
Dr. Siri Suggests...
Take a 25-HYDROXY VITAMIN D (D2+D3) Test or Take a PARATHYROID HORMONE (INTACT PTH) Test

View allI got an attack of mouth ulcer 1 month ago with approximately 5 big ulcers. After 3 weeks the ulcers were gone but my stomach pain started and I had harder stool. The doctor gave me medicine but small ulcers happened again and went away. The doctor did a vitamin D test and it was very low at approximately 9.36. He gave me medicine and I am on medicine. I have little weakness and back pain so I thought to do one CBC test. Please check my report and tell me if it is normal or if there is anything to worry about? Please help.

I have been experiencing lower back pain. Last year, I had a similar type of pain, which was found to be due to vitamin deficiency and was successfully treated with medication. Now, the pain has suddenly started again. Please suggest what I should do.

My PTH test report shows 22 pg per ml. Is this normal? I have high blood pressure and take 5 mg Amlokind. I also have spondylosis with C2, C3 bulge and C5, C6 degeneration. Additionally, I have a gallstone of 2.9 cm and antral gastritis for the last six months. I am feeling weak now. Kindly advise if my PTH level is normal?
