Question 1

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?

Question 2

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.

Question 3

I got my blood report for vitamin D and the value is 6.85. I am a pure vegetarian and want to understand if I need to take any supplements?

Can vitamin D deficiency cause regular headaches, weakness, and a feeling of imbalance in a person?

Yes, low Vitamin D can cause headaches, weakness, and imbalance. It is common in indoor workers and those with low sunlight exposure. Supplementation for 8 to 12 weeks usually helps. Retest levels after treatment.
