What Could Be The Reason For Sharp, Stabbing Bone Pain In Appendages With Elevated Vitamin D Levels?

hi, I have currently went to the doctor due to bone pain that I have been having in my appendages for the past two years. The pain is a sharp stabbing pain that occurs randomly but only lasts for 10-60 seconds ranging from a 3-7 on the pain scale. so far I have had every blood test my doctor could think of and they still cannot figure it out. during one of the blood test my vitamin D levels came back extremely elevated. I've been tested three more times since then and my levels have not gone down. I am not taking any vitamins or supplements. Do you have any advice as to what this all might be? my grandmother(moms)-arthritis, diabetes, breast cancer. grandmother(dads)-arthritis, grandfather(mother)-bone pain, grandfather(dads)-lung cancer. dad-thyroid disorder. mother- RA. Thank you for your help

Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of this nerve root there is pain.

I will advise you to do MRI spine
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.


Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
