A member asked:
I take 50000 mg of vitamin d for osteopenia a week. does that interfere with anal muscle spasms from fissure. had 2 procedures that did not work.

Vitamin D: There are very few indication for taking vitamin D 50000 mg a week. It is expensive and it is much less expensive to but over the counter vitamin D, either 1000 or 2000 mg a day. The need for measurement of vitamin D is over-stated. Did your doctor describe osteopenia for you? That may not be anything for you to worry about.
