In 2014 I had joint pain and doctor after seeing blood report said I have vitamin D problem. Treatment was done for 6 months. Later I was fine. Again now from one week my joints are paining and have swelling in ankle and feet which stays the whole day and increases in evening. Which doctor I need to consult?

Recurrence of joint pain and swelling may point to a vitamin D deficiency or an inflammatory joint issue like arthritis. A rheumatologist or orthopedician would be the right specialist to consult.

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

Take a Vitamin D (1,25 Dihydroxy Cholecalciferol) Test or Take a RA Factor Test (Rheumatoid Factor) Test

Dear sir, my vitamin D level is 12. How can I achieve a normal value? I feel muscle and bone pain. I attached my report here.

My blood report shows a very low total vitamin D level of 6.53. My doctor advised me to take Vitamin D3 Uprise once a week. She said to take it in the morning, but I am not sure if it should be on an empty stomach or after breakfast. Can you guide me?

Two months ago, my blood report showed Vitamin D3 at 17, and I started taking one tablet weekly as prescribed. After two months, my Vitamin D3 level has dropped to 9. Which supplement should I take for faster recovery, considering that relying on sunlight is not an option?
