Are High Vitamin Intake And Joints Pain Related?
I have recently been diagnosed with hyperparathyroid, I know I have had it for at least 5 years. Now I have a mass in my neck which is one of my parathyroid a. They did blood work and found my vitamin D is so low they put me on 50,000 units a week for 3 months to bring it up. My calcium is high already. Should I be in more joint and muscle pain now since taking the vitamin? Joints, muscles, so tired....?

Hello,
If your calcium levels are higher than the normal levels they may cause tiredness and muscle pains. It is important to let your doctor know immediately of your symptoms so he can do a thorough examination and possibly tests to verify how high is calcium level and if it is the cause of your symptoms and further guide you in the management of your symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
