Can Vitamin Supplements Help With Pain, Depression And Cognitive Abilities?
My mother has several issues related to the use of pain med Oxy, Zarelto, and Metformin. She has pain in her extremities and recently blood clots. I think she is malnourished due to gastric bypass and would like her to start taking supplements/vitamins including protein, B12, B1, and CoQ10. Can these be taken with her meds? Will they help her with pain, depression, and cognitive abilities?

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of your mother
As he is suffering from pain, depression, and cognitive dysfunction, the medicine will be work as for the symptomatic relief.
for more understanding of the symptoms we need a thorough pain assessment and a neurological examination to her condition.
Also pain can be reduced by physical therapy and also the cognitive abilities can be improved.
With regular exercises there will be change of the mood and the depression can also be reduced.
In my clinical practice a combination of drug therapy and physical therapy responds well to patients.
