Can you please advise medicine for VITAMIN D deficiency, i think its pain in bone rather than tennis elbow as pain is there while stretching the right hand elbow only and bending right hand elbow. Please let me know in case disagree.

Can following medicines help:

1)CIMICISUGA 200
2)CUSTICUM 200

I donot have these medicines but certainly need to know any tonic/medicine that can help deficiency of VITAMIN D & B12 possibly.

Please reply urgently by today.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

There are vitamin D tablet (cholecalciferol) and XXXXXXX are available in the pharmacy counter. I would suggest you to go for your physician opinion regarding the applicability of medicine in your case. and if he prescribes then follow his instruction.

Cimicifuga is given for pain relief if pain is in whole body while Guicum works in pain in upper limb . while Causticum is indicated in case of right sided leg pain.

This is difficult to diagnose the exact cause. There may be many reason for your problem including injury, wrong posture, muscular tear of ligament tear or gout etc.
I would suggest you to start with the medicine and then as per progress we would change the medicine.

Thanks
