Hi Chris @artscaping - yes absolutely, thank you. There is another thing I want to mention, as I am not sure if it’s of any significance or not but really helped me. About 5 years ago, my primary ran some bloodwork and found I was significantly deficient in vitamin D3. She put me on a mega dose (50k IU’s) and after just the first dose, I noticed a huge improvement in the constant arm pain I had experienced for 6+ months. I thought the pain was a pinched nerve, perhaps stemming from my shoulder but scans showed no issues with my shoulder/arm. I now believe it to be nerve pain from neuropathy. Vitamin D wasn’t a cure but having healthy vitamin D levels certainly helped my pain and depression. Something for others to look into, although it may be a “standard” thing to look for in patients. Regards, Robyn
