A member asked:

Please tell me what vitamin defficiency causes leg and foot pain/cramping/soreness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It sounds like: More than a vitamin deficiency is going on. Have you ruled out other causes? Magnesium is usually good for muscle cramps but if your complaining of pain i'd look for all possible causes.
