I understand how exhausting and concerning these persistent symptoms must be. Your shooting neck and arm pain, along with leg discomfort, suggest a pinched nerve in your spine rather than the abdominal lymph nodes. The dizziness when standing could be a side effect of gabapentin or due to other factors. Since your current medications, including Flexon MR, Neurobion Forte, Shelcal, and gabapentin, aren't providing relief, please consult your doctor or a neurologist. They can review your CT scan, check for nerve compression, and safely adjust your treatment. You are not alone, and finding the right plan will help you get relief.

Why might healing progress seem slow or unnoticeable when taking a calcium supplement like Shelcal 500mg for a shoulder fracture immobilized in a plaster cast?

Healing a shoulder fracture is a quiet, gradual process happening deep inside your bone. In the first few weeks, your body works hard to build a soft bridge of new tissue, which you cannot feel or see, especially under a plaster cast. Taking your calcium supplement, Shelcal 500mg, provides the essential nutrients your body needs to strengthen this new bone. Rest assured, your body is actively working to heal itself every day. Keep resting your shoulder, take your medication as prescribed, and your doctor will track your progress with X-rays.

How much actual calcium is in Methycal, Shelcal CT, and Shelcal XT tablets, and how much daily calcium is recommended for people over 60 years old?

Each of the tablets you mentioned?Shelcal CT, Shelcal XT, and Methycal?typically contains 500 mg of elemental (actual) calcium, paired with vitamin D to aid absorption. For a woman of your age, the recommended daily calcium intake is 1,200 mg. Since your supplements provide 500 mg per tablet, you can easily fulfill the remaining balance through a calcium-rich diet of dairy, leafy greens, or fortified foods. Please discuss this with your doctor to tailor the perfect plan for you.

Should I continue taking Shelcal 500 and D-RISE 60000 IU for my abnormal calcium, vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone levels if I am still experiencing occasional chest discomfort after one month, or should I see my doctor, and how long does it typically take to recover?

While Shelcal 500 (calcium) and D-RISE (vitamin D3) are vital for restoring your calcium and vitamin D balance, you should contact your doctor promptly to evaluate this chest discomfort. Please do not stop or adjust your medication without their guidance. Typically, it takes a few weeks to a few months of consistent treatment and medical monitoring to safely normalize these levels and feel fully recovered. Your doctor will ensure your treatment plan is both safe and effective for you.

Is it safe to take Shelcal tablets if you have gallstones?

Yes, it is generally safe to take Shelcal (calcium and vitamin D3) if you have gallstones. Gallstones are typically made of cholesterol, not calcium, so these supplements do not affect or worsen them. You can safely continue taking your medication as prescribed. However, as a standard precaution, it is always best to let your doctor know about all the supplements you are taking.

What type of doctor should I see to help treat my vitamin D deficiency, since the Shelcal HD prescribed by an orthopedist and the treatment from a neurologist have not made me feel any better?

Since you have already seen an orthopedist?who prescribed Shelcal HD?and a neurologist, I highly recommend consulting an Endocrinologist. Endocrinologists specialize in hormones and mineral metabolism, including how your body absorbs and uses Vitamin D and calcium. Alternatively, a General Physician or Internal Medicine specialist can run comprehensive blood tests to check for other underlying causes of your symptoms, such as thyroid issues or anemia, which often mimic or worsen the effects of vitamin D deficiency. Please hang in there; with the right specialist.
