Yet another study shows that Chronic Pain is a Symptom of Vitamin D Deficiency.
This study, this time from the renowned Mayo Clinic, states that people with low Vitamin D levels use almost twice as much pain medicine as those who have normal Vitamin D levels. This is only one of MANY STUDIES that show the relationship between chronic pain and Vitamin D levels.
Many studies have even shown effective TREATMENT OF CHRONIC PAIN conditions by increasing Vitamin D levels to within the normal range.
Many researchers are even implicating Vitamin D deficiency as The Cause of Fibromyalgia and that many with this elusive condition can be effectively treated simply with proper high dose Vitamin D supplementation! Yet, it’s unlikely that this study will change policy in the Conventional Medical Field. There are a few doctors who are now starting to check Vitamin D levels for various reasons, yet most still are clueless about the MANY diseases that Vitamin D deficiency can improve and even cure.
Unfortunately, most of health care is driven by education from Pharmaceutical Companies- and Vitamin D doesn’t have any scantily clad representatives running around to doctors offices giving out samples so that awareness of it’s benefits increases. If you suffer from Chronic Pain, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Low Thyroid, Obesity, Fibromyalgia, Periodontal Disease, High Blood Pressure or any type of cancer- you owe it to yourself to get your Vitamin D Level Tested. I can help you to decide an appropriate dosage of this essential Vitamin- as well as helping you overcome any other chronic medical problems that you are suffering from.

Hi
Over the last year I have had pain in my shoulders,arms, lower back and ankles and feet. I can hardly walk when i get out of bed but it comes good after a few minutes of walking. My arms shoulders and lowe back are constantly in pain.
I would be most grateful for any advise on how to treat this. I have been thinking that I think I may have a vitamin D defficiency.
Kind regards Bron
Hi Bron,
While your pain may be due to many things and you should always have a full medical workup to rule out anything serious. But if you already have been worked up and nothing has been found, then YES, your problems COULD very well be due to Vitamin D Deficiency.
Get your Vitamin D Level Checked ASAP, making sure that you get the 25(OH)D level done.
Then, you need to make sure that you get aggressive enough treatment to get your level up to between 50 to 80 ng/ml. Any less and you could still have mild Vitamin D deficiency that could be contributing to your pain.
Also, you could be deficient in the anti-inflammatory Omega 3 Fatty Acids as well. Getting a good Omega 3 Fatty Acid Supplement could be of benefit as could taking turmeric- both of which are anti-inflammatory.
I also recommend that you check out the website http://www.tendonitisexpert.com It sounds like you may have some degree of plantar fasciitis which one of his videos there may be able to help you with.
Let me know if I can help further.
