my husband 72 years old, in good health until 4 weeks ago, when his back started to bother him, went to chiopracter and then his arms were going numb, so went to Doctor who took him off his colestral  medicine.  Another week, arms still hurting so go back.  Did blood tests and Dr. gave us a sheet on Polymyalgia Rheumatica.  Started him on predisone and pain pills.  Pain still unbearable, but arms have stop hurting and swelling, but pain is in his right hip and leg like a severe cramp that wont let go.  Went back to Dr. took more blood for Lime disease, whicChatDoctore back negative.  Today he is lots of pain even with the pain pills, called Dr. office, said to go and get some vitamin D and call back in Monday.
Hello, Thanks for writing to us, According to your history it looks like there is spinal disc bulge compressing your spinal nerves. I will advise you to do x-ray spine and MRI spine. You may need muscle relaxant with analgesic, and neurotrophic medicine. Lumbar corset and hot fomentation will give faster relief. Physiotherapy like USG and SWD will give quick relief. Yes it D levels will help in treating cause of pain but its efficiency will lead to diffuse whole body pain. I hope that I have answered your query. Let me know if I can help you further. Take care
