About 9 months ago, I was experiencing almost daily body pain, and tests revealed Vitamin D insufficiency. My doctor prescribed medication at that time, which helped significantly. Now, I am in a different state, and the pain is returning. It usually starts in one leg upon waking up and then spreads up that side of the body. What should I do to manage or diagnose this issue?

Body pain returning after previous Vitamin D insufficiency may indicate levels dropping again. Pain on walking, starting in the leg, can be linked to low Vitamin D or posture related issues. Get a Vitamin D test to recheck your levels. Maintain daily sunlight exposure and gentle stretching in the morning. Follow up with your doctor for supplements if levels are low.

I was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis with liver cirrhosis in 2015. I weigh 65 kg and am taking Omnacortil 10 mg and Azoran 50 mg. I often feel nauseated and full, and I have not been able to gain weight. Recent reports show no signs of cirrhosis, but autoimmune hepatitis persists. Blood tests reveal a vitamin D deficiency. I experience constant muscle weakness and pain in my leg muscles and bones. Is this situation serious? How can I recover from the vitamin D deficiency, and what steps should I take to improve my muscle strength and overall health?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Sir I have given my report and marked the concerned area. Please tell me what to do? My vitamin D level is 8 mg per dl.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My vitamin D level is 15 (low). The doctor advised me to take vitamin D weekly for 8 weeks and then monthly once, but did not mention for how many months I should continue. How long should I take the monthly doses? Also, does vitamin D help with chest or rib pain?
