I'm 32 and vitamin d deficient (12.1 ng/ml). doctor prescribed vitamin d3 50,000 iu 2/week. had pain for many years! should i test for something else?

Not right now: Many of my patients with Vitamin D deficiency have had joint and muscle pain for years. In most cases the pain disappears or is significantly better once the vitamin D level is normal again. If not, then your doctor may want to look for other causes.Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
