How often should someone like myself, who takes blood pressure medication and is overweight, check cholesterol and vitamin D levels? My cholesterol was 191 with HDL 47 and LDL 124 a year ago. My vitamin D level was 19 but has increased to 40 after taking 1000 IU of D3. Should these levels be checked annually, and if so, how often?

I have a fracture in my right ankle from a fall last Thursday. The pain has been intense, and the swelling significant. The doctor diagnosed cellulitis and started me on antibiotics. I have been on crutches and have not had a pain-free day. The pain has intensified over the last few nights, and I feel a bone shifting when my toes move. What should I do, and will it get better?
