Not enough info: Diagnosis of rheumatologic conditions needs a complete interrogation about symptoms, timing of the symptoms and a great characterization of which population you belong (age, sex, race, ethnic background, etc). You also need to review family history, social history ad a complete physical examination. To know what you have with this little, any guess is as valid as any.

Vitamin D deficiency: Take 4000 units of vitamin D3/day for three months and after that take 2000 units/day. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. If that does not resolve the matter if would be prudent to consult a rheumatologist.
