Vitamin D Deficiency ?
Can a Vitamin D deficiency cause this much pain? Went to the doc for muscle pain & weakness with increasing shooting pains to the point of affecting everyday functioning.
Blood test came back low in Vitamin D. Result was 11, (should be 26 to 55). Other results OK. Cervical Spine & lower back MRI
OK. Treatment is 50,000 units of D per week for 4 weeks and thereafter once a month. Been on it for 4 months. Feel at times like I was in accident.Have researched on the net, and still find it difficult to believe that this can cause this much suffering. Anyone familiar with anything like this?

I am low on vitamin D..i got fatigue,swollen thigh and waist.sore muscles and bones...
Pegs. I just found out I have vitamin d deficiency! My stmptoms were fatigue. And anxiety! Started taking 50000 vitamin d once a week and feel. Better! But my doctor did not say. Why I am vitamin d deficient so I. Will ask! All of your comments. Really helped me! Thanks
I have just been diagnosed Vit D Deficient as well.. but mine is 27. I went in to an Endocrinologist thinking I was having thyroid issues again. (I am slightly hypothyroid). My thyroid panel and ultrasound came out great but he noticed i was Vit D deficient and put me on 50,000IU 1x/week. I took my first 4days ago and already can feel my muscle and joint pain feeling a tiny bit better. I still have some other unrelated symptoms as well. My thought it that "what came first, the chicken or the egg?": meaning, does the Vit D deficiency (although not dangerously low) cause my other symptoms that are unrelated, or is this other "X factor" (that i have not figured out yet) caused the D Deficiency? I am currently waiting on a 24hr urinalysis test result to come back to check my kidney and liver function and hopefully that will help me find answers..
But I do think after that amount of time, you should be feeling better..
Have you looked into/checked for autoimmune issues (Celiac, MS, Chrons, thyroid, etc?)

Hi
What is relationship between vitamin D and low thyroid antibodies?
My TSH has always been normal, but years ago I requested testing for thryoid antibodies as I was so tired. Antibody level high, placed on low dose thyroid medication.
Just found out my vitamin D is low, wondering if there is a connection?
Thanks

You need to be checked for primary Hyperparathyroidism. Could explain the pain/fatigue/psych symptoms/mood/vitD deficiency. Your childhood disorder, Legg perthes dz may cause some pelvic/hip/thigh pain but I suspect that it has nothing to do with your major symptoms. Good Luck.
HI
I was just Diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency, Just to list my other problems 1st,
1) I have Leff Perthes Disease was born with this
2) I have recently been diagnosed with Bipolar 2
3) Recently Diagnosed with Personality Disorder (dependent & avoidance)
Also Just Diagnosed with Vit D.. My number is 19. I have extreme pain in my whole left Leg... ( They claim that's cause of my Legg-Perthes ).
From my Lower back to the bottom of my foot, mostly Stabbing or really sharp pains.... I am really small, I am 4 feet 11 inches, I weigh in at 86 pounds, I am 28yrs old. I have had 4 children at ages 17, 22, 23, and 25. I only had drugs administered through my I.V... I didn't have any upadorales with my 4 children. My Pain is so severe I am currently on more drugs then I can handle..
1) Vit D 50,000 IU 1x week for 8 weeks (Vit D Diefency)
2) Hydrocodine/acetamin 10-325 evry 4 hrs or as needed. (pain)
3) Vit D 2,000 on the days I don't take the 50,000
4) One Source Womens Multi Vit For the days I don't take the 50,000
5) Ibuprofen 200 mg supose to be take with pain pill Hydrocodin
6) Hydroxyz Pam 25mg for the allergic reaction (Itching) from the Hydrocodine....
I see 2 Docs.. 1 is my Primary and the other is my Pain doc, they both work for the same firm just different locations. My Pain doc said at my last appointment the pain I'm going through is impossible, Legg- perthis Doesn't cause that much pain, ( I agree been living with Legg-Perthis all my life)
Then I asked him Whats the problem, He looked right at me and said I don't know you tell ME... I said your the doctor with the Degree I am just a patient with no Patients left, I see you and pay you its your job to find out whats wrong with me, it's not my Job. So he said to Make YOU (me) Feel better He is sending me to have another test done I'm not sure what it is exactly but its called a Nuc med. Some type of test, they make you drink or put something in a IV and put you on a Table where they can see beyond your Bones, like inside of them. I am really confused, I'm unsure if this is cause of the vit D or the legg Perthis..
Ok my symptoms....
Pain on left side of body, Starting from My pelvis in back to my hips down my left side to my Foot. The pain is unable to be described, Sometimes it dull other times is so unbaring I use my wheel chair or my walker. The Pain is like a Constant pain, it's like I have been cut, the burning a sharp pain feeling. Other times I feel like my Hip is on Fire, My calfs lock up sometimes like as if I was prego, other times I feel like im having braxton hicks , some times I feel as If I just curling up in a ball and laying down to cry will stop my body from hurting. I have tried ALL the at home remedys, Massages, actupunture, the rub the foot in the right place, teas, the chinesse ways, the japaness ways, my grandmothers ways, everythig and the only test that has come back is My vit D which came back at 19. I am always tired, People tell me its the kids but I am an at home mom for 6 years now. I used to keep the house clean as possible and now just standing doing dishes hurts, my 6yr old helps with laundry cause doing house work is a chore and it takes me twice as long, it hurts to bend, crouch, walk, stand, I become weak and tingly if I sit to long or lay down to long. My sleeping pattern is way outta whack, I sit up at night I've taken over the counter sleep aids, I've tried Mozart, waterfalls, spiritual music,out side sounds, wind, sea noises, classical, jazz, blues, I have tried everything and I'm still sitting up at 5am trying to get comfortable trying to go to sleep even a short nap. then during the day I am so tired and so irritated in so much pain that it hurts to even think, I can't concentrate, I forget things.. OMG someone please Help me I am to young to Feel this Damn OLD!!! A song sang by garth brooks, its true!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any information on why I feel this way would be so much appreciated.. Email me ***@**** Thanks so Much
