Vitamin D level of 7 indicates severe deficiency. Can cause bone pain, backache, fatigue. Take 60,000 IU weekly vitamin D for 6 to 8 weeks (doctor guided). Get sunlight exposure (20 mins daily). Recheck levels after 2 months.

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?
