Also get a serum B12 and MMA test with the Vit D.
B12 should be over 400... if the doctor says "normal" do not accept that. US normals are very low. The new cut off is 400, US units.
Same with Vit D... get the numerical result.
Low B12 is very common today. It can result in nerve damage, neurological symptoms and pain.
Low Vit D also increases pain in some people. Low D leads to more frequent infections, and the use of antibiotics, some of which CAUSE nerve damage! Cipro, Levaquin and Avelox, and some others.
If you use statins to lower cholesterol, they may be causing nerve damage and pain, and other symptoms.
We have more information at the PN forum:

The regular forum is for conversation and the Subforum above is
an informational resource. Please visit and read up...some homework
is needed, since some doctors often do not know how do deal with neuropathic pain.
