Question 1

I hear a cracking sound in my joints. I experienced relief after vitamin D3 treatment, but the problem has returned. What should I do?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

Joint cracking sounds (crepitus) are very common and usually nothing to worry about unless they are accompanied by pain or swelling. Since you felt better after taking vitamin D3 earlier, your levels may have dropped again. You should get your vitamin D levels rechecked and consult your doctor to adjust your supplement dose and check for any underlying joint issues. Do not restart the treatment on your own.

Question 2

I have a vitamin D3 deficiency and severe back pain despite taking cholecalciferol granules. Will this affect my daily life?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

Vitamin D3 deficiency may contribute to bone pain and muscle weakness, and if severe, it can affect your mobility and daily life. Since your back pain persists despite taking supplements, it is essential to consult your doctor to determine the exact cause and recommend appropriate treatment.

Question 3

What should I take for low calcium levels in my bones?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

If your bones have low calcium levels, your doctor may recommend calcium and vitamin D supplements to help strengthen them. In some cases, a medicine to reduce bone loss, such as a bisphosphonate, may also be needed. Consult your doctor to determine the correct treatment and dose for you based on the severity of your condition.

Question 4

I often experience aches in summer and feel lethargic, especially in the morning. Should I retest for vitamin D deficiency?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

Aches and morning lethargy during summer can be caused by factors such as dehydration, heat exhaustion, or poor sleep, and not necessarily by a vitamin D deficiency. However, since low vitamin D levels can also cause these symptoms, you should discuss retesting your blood levels with your doctor. If your levels are low, your doctor will recommend the appropriate supplements.

Question 5

My vitamin D3 level is 19.45 ng/ml, and my calcium level is 8.2 mg/dl. What medication and dosage should I take?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

Your vitamin D3 level is low, and your calcium level is slightly below normal. Your doctor may prescribe vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and calcium supplements tailored to your needs. However, it is important to take only the dosage your doctor recommends, as taking high amounts on your own may be harmful and cause side effects.

Question 6

Should I continue taking cholecalciferol as recommended by my physiotherapist for cervical symptoms?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

You may continue taking cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) if your physiotherapist or doctor has advised it, especially if your vitamin D levels are low. It helps your body absorb calcium and maintain bone health, but it does not directly treat cervical symptoms. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms and treatment plan so they can advise whether you should continue the supplement for your overall health.

Question 7

With a vitamin D3 level of 13.33 ng/ml and persistent fatigue and bone pain, what medicine should I take?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

Your vitamin D3 level is very low and is a likely cause of your persistent fatigue and bone pain. You will need a high-dose prescription of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) rather than an over-the-counter supplement to safely and effectively raise your levels. Please consult your doctor promptly so they can prescribe the correct starting dose and treatment plan.
