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

Book Vitamin D (1,25 Dihydroxy Cholecalciferol) Test Book RA Factor Test (Rheumatoid Factor) Test

Hello Doctor. I have done a full body checkup including blood test, urine test, LFT, and vitamin D. I found my vitamin D level very low at 4.5 ng/ml. Should I go for further tests, or can you suggest some supplements? I have attached my report. One reason for low vitamin D is lack of sunlight exposure, which I will take care of now. Please suggest.
