Could not find Ferritin or B12, HbA1C and glucouse. Hmmm I guess I'll have to look some more. I don't know what any of this means. I'm lost for sure.Thanks for all the info. Have a great holiday weekend . I also take Veville Dot 0.1mg in a patch form for the menapause. I think it is a hormone, not sure. It helps with the severe hot flashes and night sweats.

A1C and B12 are not on there. Your D is low so 3000IU D3 a day until you retest in 3 mons is a good idea. The amount in your calcium is not sufficient. Forget the RX version if you are taking it.

The glucose is there, and in the normal range.

Fixing the D may help reduce some of the pain. But it will not get rid of all of it. D does hope people with chronic pain, in studies.

If your issues are mostly compressive, then as long as that continues you will have nerve issues. You might try Lidoderm patches on your back, if you haven't already. They work pretty well. You'll need to put them on the lower back on each side for at least 7 days in a row, to see if they start blocking the pain.
Those need an RX from your doctor.

Your other tests seem in the normal range to me. If you don't have any hand/arm issues or generalized skin burning, your nerve issues may be just due to the spinal issues.

Hello mrsD,
I'm not taking the Rx version.otc version. So then I need to take 3 a day every day. My D-400 and my calcium is 600. So I calculate that I should take both of them 3 x a day to get 3000IU. I tryed the Lidoderm patches with and it didn't help. I do however have the skin burning going on in my legs, hips,back and groin. That is why doc G has me on Lyrica. This is helping to some degree, but my legs feel like I ran a 1000 mile marathon everyday. My legs feel like they can't hold me up and my back is the same. I can only hold my head up for 2-4 hrs a day because of the neck surgery. I loose feeling in my feet alot and my hands.I will ask Doc G about the B12 and A1C report. My nerve pain is due to the herniation @ S1-L5. Yikes ! It also effects my feeling in my feet and groin area and going to the bathroom. Gee, I feel old ! lol Thanks again for responding to my post.

It is not recommended to take alot of calcium when you take high dose Vit D. It would be best to get another capsule of plain Vit D without calcium, and use it alone. You can buy 1000IU or 2000IU easily today. Vit D improves calcium absorption, and the max recommended now by some doctors for their patients on Vit D supplements is 600mg a day. When you buy things mixed with other things it is not easy and sometimes not good for everything in the mix when you only need one thing increased.

Failure with Lidoderm patches is often due to putting them in the wrong place. Where did you put them?

I have a thread here on placement:

There is a link on that thread to a place with a 3D nerve diagram which can be very helpful to locate spots to put the patches.
