Separate issue: Muscle strength is a qualitative description based on exam & as an estimate based on experience. It helps a doc with an overall picture of the interaction of your nervous/muscular systems & compares of side of the body to the other. It does not assess the density or strength of your bones which would require separate testing seldom done unless issues arose.

Agree with Drs. M&F.: You may try taking 2000 units of vitamin D3 daily for 3 months, to see if it helps.
