Yes: B12 is high, not low. Vitamin d3 is very low and may be the connecting link. It needs to be between 60 and 80 and is now thought to be the commonest vitamin deficiency. Since it has its effect in every cell, it can cause many diagnoses. The fibroid is probably only minor.

Question 4

any tips on how to prevent shoulder pain during sleep?

Accepted Answer

Sleep on your back: Avoid sleeping on your shoulders, or sides.  Try to keep arms down to your side.  Don't sleep on your stomach.  To help keep your arms to your sides, and not above your head, wrap your arms with  soft pillows and safety pin them on.  This will weigh your arms down a little, and you will be less likely to sleep with them above your head.

Bursitis: This could be a condition known as shoulder impingement or bursitis. It could also be a mild case of frozen shoulder (mild because your movement restriction sounds minimal)   none of these are "serious" but likely needs an evaluation.
