RA neg & Vit D2D3 defeciency
Hi
I have pain in the deltoid and ulnar muscles disturbing my sleep..
4th and 5th finger on the hand has numbness while I wake.
I consulted ortho, he suggested that I take the RA factor and vitamin D test.
RA factor is negative
But vitamin D2, D3 is deficient at 12.9ng/mL
Pls suggest ways to improve my vit level
I have shoulder pain with inflammation and night sleep is disturbed ..
Whether vit d2, d3 is independent of rheumatoid arthritis or vit D deficiency will lead to rheumatoid arthritis
