Vitamin D Deficiency ?

[pains47]

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 coming into this years after the first post. I have vitamin D deficiency as well. I was miserable with aches, weakness, and tiredness. I suspect it is because I am very overweight. Overweight people sometimes are deficient because vitamin D is fat soluble and too much body fat can keep it from being released. I would get on the regimen to get your level up to normal, regardless of the reason you are deficient. It will be easier to research if you feel halfway decent.

Wow, reading these posts was like a slap in tge face to me, I've experienced problems fir the past couple of years now. I'm not one to up and go to the doctors but when things started to affect my life, I decided to go get checked. My symptoms have increasingly gotten worse and worse and I've have had blood work pulled like five times in the past five months or so. Nothing major ever comes up and I've been diagnosed with depression, fibromyalgia and other small stuff that I feel like is only a quick fix solution to a deeper problem tge docs are not willing to look for. New symptoms seem to pop up every couple weeks and I NEVER feel good anymore. Finally this past lab test they found that I have vitamin d3 deficiency.  So hopefully taking the supplements can get me on my way to feeling better but it seems from reading all these posts tgat perhaps I should still keep looking into this to determine what the underlying cause.....

I was just diagnosed with vitamin d defeciancy and since then I have had severe pain and dizziness. I can just be standing and all of a sudden everything goes dark and I feel like I'm going to pass out. Everything I read about this it seems like no one else has these issues. I would like to hear from other ppl that have te same symptoms.Yes my doctor put me on daily vitamin d and didn't run any other tests. Doctors never listen to the patient and believe what they are saying. Which in my opinion is wrong because we are the only ones that know our bodies and when something feels wrong.

Vitamin deficiency of any kind can be a symptom of a malabsorbtion disease like Celiac disease which is an auto immune disease where the body attacks the cilia in the small intestine when you eat gluten causing malabsorbtion.
