A member asked:

50k vit d weekly x 8 weeks for defiency & slow healing stress reaction. i'm prone to bone spurs. is it likely spurs will grow or increase with added d?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Healthy bone requires both new bone growth and constant remodeling. Normalizing your vit d will help with all of these things. Your risk of bone spurs should not be any different.

Dr Ihle and another doctor agreed
