Can Iron And Vitamin Supplements Cause Mid Back Pain?
Question: My mother is 81 years old. She was recently told by her doctor to take iron and vitamin B because she showed low levels. Yesterday she started experiencing discomfort on the right side of her back.......approx. mid back. Today she had difficulty in her walking. Could this be caused by vitamins? She said she don't think its a strained muscle

Hello
Thanks for the query
Difficulty in walking and a discomfort in the back in unrelated to vitamins and iron capsules.
Discomfort in the mid back is usually due to abnormal posture while sleeping or an uncomfortable chair. I recommend that you put ice packs over the area. If the problem worsens then please seek help from your gneneral physician to rule out spondylosis
