If you suffer from chronic pain, you may have a Vitamin D deficiency. Simply getting enough Vitamin D through
sunlight exposure, diet or dietary supplements, may relieve your pain a great deal.
None of my doctors ever told me about this... maybe it's because the science is quite recent? Another reason to
see a pain specialist maybe...
Mayo Clinic researchers reported their findings from clinical research linking chronic pain to vitamin D deficiency in March 2009. This Medscape article cites scientific research that concludes that inadequate Vitamin D may even create or sustain pain.
According to the patient brochure from
pain topics.org, patients suffering from
migraines, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, myalgia, diabetic neuropathy, chronic fatigue syndrome, seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can potentially benefit a great deal from Vitamin D treatment. Read more about this here.
