My dad's been dealing with this Vitamin D deficiency, and because of it, his knee joints hurt a lot whenever he walks or goes up and down stairs. We tried some treatment before, and it seemed to help, but now the pain is back. Do you know of any effective and safe homeopathic solutions that could help?
