Can low vitamin D levels cause back pain in someone?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 26-year-old male, and I am married. My height is 5'8 feet, and my weight is around 165 to 176 kg. I have been suffering from heavy back pain for the last three to four years. Last year I took treatment for this and got relief for five to six months, but after this, it started again. As per the consultant, my backbone muscles were weak, and also I have low vitamin D. Kindly suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I would like to have more insight into your problem. Can you kindly upload any investigations taken previously along with the prescription? So that I can have bit more details to guide you better. As per your query, you can have the Vitamin D3 supplement as prescribed to you earlier. I would suggest doing some basic core stabilization. With respect to back issues and mild endurance exercises to improve bone health, kindly let me know things in detail. You can ice up your low back frequently and do core stability exercises. I hope I have cleared your queries.

Thank you.
