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.

Lower back pain returning after it was previously linked to vitamin deficiency may indicate your vitamin D or B12 levels have dropped again. It is common for deficiencies to recur if not maintained through diet or supplements. A Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 test will help check your levels. Meanwhile, maintain light stretching, proper posture, and regular sunlight exposure. Follow up with your doctor for treatment if deficiency is confirmed.
