Question 1

I have done an X ray and the report says lumbar spine straightening due to muscular spasm. I fell from my bicycle when I was 14 years old. Could this be the reason? My report is attached. Please help. My life is in trouble. Sometimes it feels like something is stiff and tight in my back.

Question 2

Hi, I have been living in Chennai for the past 8 months. My skin is of wheatish complexion, but it has become dull and darker, likely due to the weather. My hands, which are already darker than my overall body tone, have also become very dark. Even when I use sunscreen, I have tried Lotus and Rivela, my face still looks instantly darker. I have also tried various home remedies to remove tan, but they have not worked. I am now considering using dermocosmetic products. Are they effective? Can they provide permanent results in removing the darkness from my skin? Kindly suggest.

Question 3

Hello doctor, my mother is 54 years old. She is suffering from severe pain in her whole body. Blood tests show calcium 8 and vitamin D 13. She is now unable to stand or walk. She has been prescribed Shelcal 500 mg once a day and cholecalciferol vitamin D capsule once a week. Her hemoglobin is 8. She is still not getting relief from pain and weakness in the bones. What should I do so that she can stand properly? Please help.

With severe deficiency and sun avoidance, long term maintenance may be needed. After initial course, take 2000 to 4000 IU daily and magnesium (200 to 300 mg) if not contraindicated.
