How can I manage and get rid of returning upper back pain, morning stiffness, and constant tiredness that previously improved with Nucoxia-P and Uprise D3, considering my X-ray and MRI are normal, my vitamin D level is 28.4 ng/ml, and I have a desk job with a long daily car commute?
Your symptoms are likely due to postural strain from your desk job and commute, combined with slightly low vitamin D (28.4 ng/ml). To find lasting relief, try incorporating short stretching breaks every hour and using supportive lumbar cushions while sitting and driving. Discuss with your doctor about continuing vitamin D3 (Uprise D3) to optimize your levels. For pain flare-ups, you can use etoricoxib and paracetamol (Nucoxia-P) short-term as prescribed. Regular, gentle back-strengthening exercises will also greatly help.
