Musculoskeletal: A late teenager with neck ; upper back pain bilaterally likely has a musculoskeletal problem. Indeed vitamin d deficiency is often concomitant with chronic pain syndromes. My own theory is that the deficiency is possibly caused by household reclusiveness and sun avoidance due to a sedentary lifestyle. See an osteopath to find out what causes the chronic pain. Evaluation by physical therapist.
