This is a deficiency. Start supplements (e.g. D3 60,000 IU weekly for 6 to 8 weeks) after consulting a general physician or endocrinologist. Also get sunlight exposure and eat fortified foods.

I have an avulsion fracture that has not healed even after 7 weeks in plaster. I recently did blood tests, which showed low vitamin D levels. I have started taking vitamin D tablets.

Hi, my vitamin D results are showing 8.95. Shall I take vitamin D tablets or shall I focus on having vitamin D foods? Please suggest.

I felt pain on the side of my shin above the ankle after running a week, almost 5 to 7 km daily with 2 days rest in between. I have completed a half marathon twice before, but this time I started running after a break of 4 to 5 months. I rested for 2 weeks and then saw a physiotherapist. He did TENS and laser for 11 days, suggested exercises, and advised trying running again after 2 to 3 days. After approximately 5 weeks of complete rest and 2 weeks of physiotherapy with hot and cold packs, I started running again, but pain appeared even after running 300 meters. My vitamin D is 11.75. What should I do? Should I meet an orthopedist or someone else?
