Neuritis: or nerve pain/compression as well as degenerative disc disease may be the issue. You must be examined, evaluated, tested, diagnosed and treated. If you are not allergic to NSAIDS ( ibuprofen, naproxyn etc.) I suggest taking Aleve, (naproxen) 1 tablet every 8 hrs. as needed until seen.

???: Why do you think that? There are so many other causes of leg pain. See your MD for the proper workup before you blow your money on vitamin D supplementation
