Back Pain

[BertieB_280616]

Hi, I'm looking for some advice, I have Primary Raynauds and I'm taking Naftidrofuryl 100mg, Fultium D3 32,000 units and Co-codamol 30/500mg. I have recently been experiencing some back pain in the middle of my back near my spine. I haven't injured my back at work or anything it has just appeared and stays. Even though I take the Co-codamol for joint pain it doesn't touch the back pain. Its been 2 weeks now. I've tried exercises and keeping active. Is pains other than in the joints near extremities common?

Hi, my personal view is that you should see your Doctor this is because of what happened to my Brother who developed it in the top of his back out of no-where and without warning and was told had he not gone to the Doctors he would not be walking today. Hopefully it is something that be sorted quickly. All the best. xx

Hi BertieB_280616,

Yes I would definitely say go and see your doctor. May I ask when and why you were put on the vitamin D? I only ask as when my antibodies where found they also found insufficient Vit D that sadly had led to mild osteomalacia and I had fractured my spine in two places. I hadn’t particularly injured it but those kind of stress fractures are common. Well done for keeping moving though! As I discovered staying still can be the worse thing for it when your not well in general for the muscles.

I don't know why I'm on vit D, I'm gonna ask the doctor when I see him next. I've been on it for a few weeks now.
