Brief Answer:
You are having cervical spondyitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case. Vitamin D deficiency is not the cause of this pain. You are having cervical spondylitis. I would suggest you following.
1. Avoid keeping neck in same position for long time like working on computer or TV.
2. Avoid travelling or any other jerky activity.
3.Tablet Myospaz Or Myoril.
4.Neck muscle strengthening exercises.
5. Vitamin D deficiency can be treated with calcitriol XXXXXXX , one per week.
I hope these steps will help you. Let me know if you want to ask any further questions.
Thanks

I have heard high levels of vitamin d supplements can cause this.I took a 60 k supplement last week.Would that be the cause?
and the doctor prescribed me myosone,saaz ds and dezert-6 for the pain,what are these tablets for?

Brief Answer:
SAAZ and Dezert-6 should be stopped

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I am not sure if you need SAAZ or Dezert -6.These are given for inflammatory arthritis. If possible please send me scan copy of your prescription.
Taking vitamin D for some weeks can not cause calcification.So do not worry about that.
Thanks.
