A member asked:
My vitamin d and folic acid level is 7.36 and 2.3 respectively. i am suffering from muscle pain all around. can vitamin d be the reason of the pains.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could : we know that muscles have vitamin D receptors. Usually low vitamin D causes muscle weakness. However there are some patients that have muscle pain and vitamin D helps resolve that. Therefore this is a possibility, but I would see your physician, and possibly see a rheumatologist to make sure there is not another diagnosis. For instance we know people with fibromyalgia that have low vitamin D. . Their pain can be improved with vitamin D supplementation.
