I have been having lower back pain. I took MRI, which showed a mild bulge at L2, L3, and L4. My report mentions spondylitis. I already took a one-month course of calcium and vitamin D3 and also underwent acupuncture treatment, but stiffness and pain persist. I have been suffering from this severe problem for the last 4 years?

Chronic spondylitis needs long term care. Pain & stiffness may persist. Continue physiotherapy, posture care, and possibly see a spine specialist.

I have pain in my thighs. Twelve days ago I was hospitalized as COVID positive but after treatment my report turned negative and I was discharged. Now only my thighs are paining while the rest of the body feels fine. I do not have fever. Thank you.

Hello Doctor. Please see my report and advise me on treatment and medicine. My vitamin D level is very low. Can I take cod liver oil tablets and Uprise D3 pack? Please advise me on what to do?
