I recently got a blood test report showing my Vitamin D level as 18.11 ng/mL. I am experiencing fatigue, unusual joint and muscle aches, and back pain. Could these symptoms be due to low Vitamin D? Should I take Vitamin D3 60,000 IU once a week? Please advise what I should do.

Yes, Vitamin D less than 20 is deficient and may cause your symptoms. You can take 60,000 IU once weekly for 6 to 8 weeks after consulting your doctor.

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?

Some of the highlighted abnormalities include: Total Cholesterol Serum at 120 mg/dl, Total Lipid at 305.60 mg/dl, Vitamin D 25 Hydroxy at 7.3 ng/ml, Bilirubin Total at 2.10 mg/dl, Bilirubin Direct at 0.83 mg/dl, Bilirubin Indirect at 1.27 mg/dl, and Urea/Creatinine Ratio at 37.74. I am attaching the screenshots of my blood and liver report for your reference. Please review them and suggest the appropriate medication and dietary changes.
