Patients were divided into three groups: the first group received 1,000 units of vitamin D daily, the second group received 4,000 units of vitamin D per week for the first 4\u20136 weeks and then 2,000 units per month, and the third group received no vitamin D supplementation.

The mean age of the patients was 39.24 \u00b1 7.01 years (25\u201352 years). The mean level of the vitamin D in the control group was 25.40 \u00b1 8.37 ng\/mL, the group receiving 1,000 units\/day was 26.71 \u00b1 8.70 ng\/mL, and the group receiving 50,000 units per week was 26.17 \u00b1 8.63 ng\/mL. The mean values of preoperative pain intensity, symptom severity, and functional status were almost the same in the three groups. These values were reduced after surgery in the two groups receiving the drug compared to the control group.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
