Was It Vitamins I Was Lacking?

Good morning!

If you have been reading my blog for the last while you know that I have been suffering for 18 months with a severe pain in my side and have been for every test known to man as well as every specialist my doctor could think to send me to.
Well, they did find a few things that were wrong but nothing that should cause me such severe constant pain.

I eat well and do watch what I eat as I have IBS and something called Acute Epiploic Appendigitis which also comes in attacks and should last no longer than 2 weeks at a time.

After a blood test revealed I was lacking in vitamin B and Iron I decided that I should be taking vitamins and started on One A Day vitamins, B vitamins with Folic acid and COEnzyme-Q10, that was about 3 months ago and I find the pain is not near what it has been (severe enough that if I owned a gun I would have put myself out of my misery).
I am still undergoing testing and am able to deal with the pain with medication and light exercise.

Was I lacking in vitamins?
Well that is questionable as joking around one evening my significant other pulled on my leg as he walked past me and we heard a huge popping noise, followed by my weeping from the pain it caused, I was quite sore the next few days but my pain was not constant anymore it was off and on throughout the day/night.
That has me questioning whether my hip was out of joint or was it the vitamins or both.
What ever it was I am thankful that the pain has been less and I am able to increase my activity levels.

I plan on going for the rest of the testing as the pain is still there but as I said much more tolerable than before, hopefully I whatever this is will be diagnosed soon and will be pain-free!

Have you had a condition that took a long time to diagnose?
How did you deal with the pain?
