My vit D is 15, where it should be a min of 75. My back x-ray reads degenerative changes in Lumbar spine with osteophytes formation and loss of normal lumbar lordosis. Is that a thing to worry too much? What are the treatment available? Have too much pain in back.

?A neurologic evaluation assesses the patient's symptoms including pain, numbness, paresthesias (e.g. Tingling), extremity sensation and motor function, muscle spasm, weakness, and bowel/bladder changes. Particular attention may be given to the extremities. Either a CT Scan or MRI study may be required if there is evidence of neurologic dysfunction. A corset or a brace could be used to provide support; cervical collars may be used to alleviate pain by restricting movement. Hot or cold packs on the affected area, ultrasound and electric stimulation are some of the other treatments which are used.
