Lots of vitamin D: Rickets is caused by not enough vitamin d. Go see your doctor for testing especially your 25oh vitamin d level. Then get enough vitamin d plus calcium to strengthen your bones. Depending upon severity of your situation, surgery may be necessary. An orthopedic surgeon can help you determine your options.
