Vit D3 with or without K2
Ortho prescribed vit d test for knee pain, results showed 19.3 which I understand is insufficient. Another doctor prescribed uprise 60k once a week on seeing the report.
There's been a lot of buzz lately that D3 should be taken with K2 to maximize absorption for bone health. Is that necessary? Should I stick with Uprise or take a D3+K2 supplement?

Your Vitamin D level of 19.3 ng/mL is indeed insufficient — anything below 20 is considered deficient. Uprise D3 60,000 IU once weekly for 6–8 weeks is a standard correction regimen and appropriate.
As for Vitamin K2: while some studies suggest it may support calcium metabolism and bone health, it’s not essential for everyone. If you don’t have conditions like osteoporosis, vascular calcification, or if you’re not on long-term D3 therapy, plain D3 alone is sufficient.
Stick with Uprise D3 as prescribed, unless a specialist later advises adding K2 based on specific needs.
