I have an avulsion fracture that has not healed even after 7 weeks in plaster. I recently did blood tests, which showed low vitamin D levels. I have started taking vitamin D tablets.

Delayed healing of an avulsion fracture after 7 weeks may be linked to low Vitamin D or calcium levels. Continue Vitamin D supplements as advised, and ensure good dietary calcium intake. Healing can be slow, especially in areas with less blood supply or if mobility was restricted. Follow up with an Xray or ortho consult to assess healing progress.

Does taking Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 60,000 IU two weeks before a Vitamin D test affect the test results?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I 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.
