Vitamin D deficiency could mean back pain for some postmenopausal women, according to a study from China.

In a retrospective analysis, postmenopausal women with severe vitamin D deficiency -- serum levels under 10 ng/mL -- had lower average bone mineral density T-scores (-1.92 vs -0.7) and greater lower back pain scores (visual analog scale 4.07 vs 3.03) versus women with normal vitamin D levels, reported Hao-Wei Xu, MD, of the Tongji University School of Medicine in Shanghai, and colleagues.

... good of you to share this Vocal , sharing is caring in this instance 🌸

I , and many others I bet, can empathise.

I have Graves’ disease .

The lower sore back thing goes ...once the Thyroid Hormone in the blood is balanced .

( in my experience ) ... and also with hood supplementation.

Luv mx🌹
