We explored the impact of vitamin D3 levels on bone pain that patients experience after undergoing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). The study involved 240 participants who were divided into three groups based on their vitamin D status—some received treatment before surgery, some after, and others had normal levels to begin with.
By administering vitamin D3 in three doses, we aimed to see if correcting deficiencies could alleviate post-operative bone pain. Throughout the recovery period, we measured pain levels using the visual analog scale at various intervals after the surgery.
Our findings clearly demonstrated that patients who corrected their vitamin D3 deficiency before surgery reported significantly better pain control after the operation compared to those who were treated afterwards or those who started with adequate levels. This highlights the importance of testing and addressing vitamin D status prior to orthopedic procedures, showing that it is a modifiable risk factor affecting recovery.

We explored the impact of calcium treatment on bone pain in patients who developed osteomalacia, a condition linked to intravenous iron infusions. Our focus was on a group of 13 patients diagnosed with this condition, who experienced low phosphate levels due to excess fibroblast growth factor 23 (iFGF23) after receiving ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) infusions.
After halting the FCM infusions, these patients were given supportive treatment, which included phosphate, calcium, and active Vitamin D supplementation. We observed improvements in biochemical markers, including increased phosphate levels and reduced pain scores. However, it’s important to note that while calcium was part of the treatment regimen, we could not isolate its specific effects on bone pain from the other supportive measures used.
Ultimately, our findings highlight the importance of monitoring phosphate levels in patients receiving FCM, and stopping these infusions effectively addresses phosphate wasting. Although supportive treatment showed improvements in pain and bone density, the direct impact of calcium on bone pain remains unclear given the combination of treatments involved.

We conducted an insightful study to analyze how combining calcitriol, a form of vitamin D, with bisphosphonates affects bone pain in postmenopausal women suffering from osteoporosis. This quasi-experimental approach allowed us to compare two groups: one treated with calcitriol alone and the other with the combination treatment.
Our findings highlighted that adding bisphosphonates to calcitriol significantly alleviated bone pain among the participants. We observed improved evaluations of joint pain through the Visual Analogue Scale/Score, indicating that patients felt much better post-treatment. Furthermore, the combination therapy enhanced the patients' overall daily living capabilities and positively influenced bone metabolism and density.
Overall, our results suggest that calcitriol combined with bisphosphonates is effective in not just relieving pain but also supporting the long-term health of bones in postmenopausal women. This approach may pave the way for improved treatment strategies for osteoporosis in this demographic.

Bones don't hurt

I ordered this calcium citrate + Vitamin D³ for my pregnancy. As my body needed more calcium, I often experienced bone pain and numbness in my legs at night. However, I am thoroughly convinced that Solgar works wonders. I take one vitamin after breakfast for optimal absorption. The delivery to Moscow was swift, and the jar was securely packed. I appreciate the protective coating under the lid. All the vitamins were intact, and the expiry date is good. I feel fantastic now, my hair is back to normal, and my bones no longer ache!

We investigated the connection between vitamin D levels and the risk of new vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women who had undergone percutaneous vertebral augmentation. Through a retrospective case-control study involving patients aged 50 and older, we analyzed records to categorize participants into groups based on whether they experienced refractures and how serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) influenced these outcomes.
Our findings revealed that low levels of serum 25(OH)D are linked to an increased risk of new vertebral fractures in these patients. What's noteworthy is that vitamin D plays a crucial role in maintaining bone health, and adequate levels can help reduce the likelihood of subsequent fractures after surgery. This underscores the potential importance of vitamin D supplementation for patients recovering from vertebral augmentation.
In conclusion, ensuring that patients receive appropriate vitamin D intake might be pivotal in preventing further bone pain and fractures following surgery. By addressing vitamin D deficiency, we could significantly improve bone health outcomes and enhance the quality of life for postmenopausal women recovering from vertebral fractures.

Growth hormone aids bone pain improvement
We evaluated the effects of growth hormone therapy on a 12-year-old boy with Hereditary Hypophosphatemic Rickets with Hypercalciuria (HHRH) and found some promising results.
Alongside sodium phosphate and potassium citrate therapy, incorporating recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) and Fluconazole led to improvements in his chronic bone pain and overall growth over six months.
However, it's important to note that while there was progress, the changes in kidney function remained unclear. Our findings suggest that further studies are necessary to confirm the effectiveness of this approach.

At 58, I fell and broke my arm and leg. After plaster removal, I began taking calcium citrate with vitamin D3. After 1.5 months, my bones fused well. I continued until the package was finished. I then ordered more and now take it in courses to prevent osteoporosis. Very happy with this supplement!

I took this complex following an accident where I had fractures. I noticed that my bones healed more rapidly, as evidenced by X-rays. I'm grateful for my surgeon's advice and can attest that the vitamins are effective. I recommend taking them regularly or in courses; calcium and vitamin D certainly help maintain health and alertness.

Improved condition

The product is decent; citrate is absorbed better than carbonate. I bought it for my sister, who has a broken arm. While taking it with collagen and magnesium, she mentioned her condition has improved. However, the large pills are inconvenient. Next time, we'll purchase a more concentrated dosage. I personally prefer calcium hydroxyapatite.

Calcium is an essential mineral that strengthens the body's bones, cartilage, joints, and teeth. It provides a variety of nutrients that restore bone structure and prevent conditions like osteoporosis and osteochondrosis. I bought it for my mum for prevention; she takes two tablets twice daily. A good option for adults.

Perfectly! Calcium is a crucial mineral that fortifies the body's bones, including cartilage, joints, and teeth. It provides various nutrients that enhance bone strength and improve the structure of cartilage and joints. This mineral is widely used in preventing and treating osteoporosis and osteochondrosis. Calcium citrate also benefits the genitourinary system by preventing kidney stones and combating bladder infections. Indication for use: Complex Solgar Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D3: take four tablets a day with meals.

We examined a group of five patients undergoing long-term adefovir dipivoxil treatment for chronic hepatitis B.
All patients displayed low phosphate levels and reported difficulties walking, among other issues. After stopping the treatment, we focused on phosphate replacement and potassium-citrate therapy.
Encouragingly, after six months, participants experienced significant relief from bone pain, and some even regained the ability to walk independently.
