Specializes in Rheumatology

Really doubt it!: Your blood levels are only trivial higher (vit-d-25oh). It cannot be the d, but a coincidence. Vitamin d helps minimize chronic pain, not cause it!

I just had my appointment with a Gynae and I was told that Pre-Natal Vitamins should not be used as they do not make much of a difference. I wanted to get other doctors opinion on this. Should one take the Vitamins in the 9 months or not?

Good evening doctors. Should a 63 year-old male with kidney issues (serum creatinine 1.49 now, 1.33 previously) with low Vitamin D (26 now, 22 previously) take Vitamin D3? One of my doctors told me yes and one told me that there is no reason to do so?
