Vitamin Deficiency

Asked for Male, 39 years

My body aches when I a wake up every morning. This happens especially in my feet and ankles and sometimes it is even hard to walk and harder to even exercise. I got myself checked and it is found that I have a deficiency of Vitamin D. I used Vitamin D injections last year but they don’t work. Kindly, suggest me another solution for this?

Dear Patient,

I'm unsure as to what you mean by “they don't work'. Usually, after testing, a course of infections(1/wk) is carried out for 4weeks & then the test is repeated. Vitamin D deficiency is the leading def in Pakistan, hence levels fall every few mths. The solution is adequate sun exposure with sunscreen(to make natural Vit D) and to repeat test and course few months as needed. Kindly write back to us with fresh test levels so we can suggest treatment accordingly.
