my mom is 47 and has an 80mm colloid nodular goitre should she get surgery for it and are there any risks involved with the procedure

A colloid nodular goiter of 80mm (8 centimeters) in a 47-year-old woman may be a good candidate for surgery, especially if it causes symptoms or grows rapidly. However, the decision to proceed with surgery should be made after a thorough evaluation by a qualified endocrinologist or surgeon, considering the individual's specific situation, medical history, and potential risks

Am a bit worried, I'm an 18-year-old with a vitamin D level of 12 and my doctor says I need to get the arachitol injection. I've heard it's really painful, and I'm honestly scared about getting it. Is there any way to make this less uncomfortable or maybe avoid the shot altogether?

Yes you have to take the injection,if you are really scared and you have no signs and symptoms of vitamin d deficiency you can opt for tablets as well like VIT D 60K weekly once and CALCIUM 500mg once daily
