Tendinitis: I think you should step out of the house, you may be using your game console or cell phone a lot, this is a tendinitis from excess texting or gaming.

Not from Vit D defic: Vitamin d deficiency is not usually associated with joint pains. It would be associated with disturbed bone metabolism.
