Your leg weakness and nerve pain started after back exercises and are affecting your ability to walk, it is very important to be evaluated by a spine specialist or neurologist as soon as possible. You may need an MRI to check for a pinched nerve in your back. Please stop all exercises for now to prevent further irritation. While you are currently taking gabapentin and supplements like Benfomet Forte and Neuro D3, your treatment plan needs a prompt medical review. Please seek professional medical care right away to help you safely regain your mobility.

It is completely understandable to feel concerned about changes like black stools. Generally, Subneuro B6 (containing vitamin B12 and B6) and MGD3 (magnesium and vitamin D3) do not typically cause black stools. Sometimes, dietary factors, iron supplements, or other medications can cause this color change. However, dark or black stools can occasionally be a sign of bleeding in the digestive tract. Since this is not a common side effect of your prescribed supplements, I gently recommend contacting your doctor for a quick evaluation to rule out any concerns. Please stay reassured, as they will help you find the exact cause safely.

While generic vitamin D3 and calcium themselves rarely cause sores directly, the inactive ingredients?such as binders, preservatives, or chemical coatings used to manufacture these tablets?often trigger sensitive or allergic reactions in the mouth. Additionally, the physical irritation of swallowing large calcium tablets can sometimes contribute. Please discuss with your doctor the possibility of trying alternative forms, such as liquid drops, soft gels, or spacing out your doses, which are often much gentler on your system.

MGD3 is not the same as magnesium citrate; it is a combination supplement that typically contains magnesium and vitamin D3. For your bowel issues, magnesium citrate is specifically chosen because it helps relieve constipation by drawing water into the intestines. Generally, magnesium's main purpose is supporting muscle and nerve function, bone health, and regulating bowel movements. It is safest to stick to the magnesium citrate your doctor prescribed to ensure you get the exact benefits needed for your recovery.

Yes, you can absolutely take your MGD3 tablet (which contains magnesium and vitamin D3) after your afternoon meal. Taking it with food actually helps your body absorb the vitamin D much better. As for sleepiness, magnesium has a natural, gentle relaxing effect on your muscles and nervous system. While it shouldn't make you overly drowsy during the day, some people do feel quite relaxed after taking it. If you find it makes you feel a bit sleepy, you can safely transition to taking it after your evening meal instead.

Switching to MgD3 250 is generally a safe alternative. This supplement combines magnesium with vitamin D3, which can actually be very beneficial for your bone and muscle health. However, different forms of magnesium absorb differently in the body compared to magnesium citrate. I recommend checking the label to see which form of magnesium it contains, and consulting your doctor or pharmacist to ensure the dosage matches your needs.
