Vitamin D supplements are recommended if your levels are below 50nmol/L, but always speak to your GP Getty The vitamin D receptor is present in nerve cells called nociceptors which sense pain.

The 1990s were a fertile time in pain research. What we now know is that pain begins when nociceptors -- small, thin fibers located throughout the body in peripheral nerves -- register trauma to ...
