A member asked:
Could vitamin d deficiency cause intermittent pain in an old fracture in the distal fibula? resuming vitamin d therapy seems to help after a week or 2

Probably: Vitamin D deficiency frequently causes chronic back pain and general muscle and joint pains, so it would not be surprising to me if it also caused pain in an old fracture. Taking Vitamin D is well worth trying. Most adults need 5-8000 iu of D3 day to maintain optimal levels of 50-80 and has many other health benefits. See http://bit.ly/1dEGuTy & http://bit.ly/166DLiq
