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 am suffering from vitamin D deficiency, with a level of 8.83 ng/mL. I have been taking D3 Must 60K chewable tablets (1 tablet weekly) from Mankind Pharma and have taken 4 tablets over the past month. Is this safe? If not, what is the alternative and the proper dosage for my level of deficiency? If it is safe, how much longer should I continue this regimen, or should I adjust the frequency (for example, one tablet monthly)? I have attached my report for reference and would like guidance on the correct dosage based on my deficiency.

Is 25(OH) Vitamin D the same as Vitamin D3? My recent report shows 25(OH) Vitamin D is 55.90. Eight months ago, my Vitamin D3 level was 13, and I took Vitamin D3 60,000 IU once a week for 3 months. I started taking it again for the past 1 month. Should I continue taking Vitamin D3 60,000 IU or stop now? Also, my current Vitamin B12 level is 494. Should I continue the B12 tablets or stop them?

For the past two months I have been having an internal pain in both my knees. My blood report is normal and there is no external swelling or redness. However, I feel internally as though my knees are numb and in spite of doing basic exercises I feel a pressure on my knees while walking. This problem persists throughout the day, making it difficult for me to even walk. As of the past two months I have been facing problems in walking and hence I take rest at home. The orthopaedic doctor checked my knees externally and said there is no problem. I request you to suggest the remedy that I should do to cure this problem as I am in deep pain. Thank you.
