Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I think it is not the swelling of the muscle but it is the problem of your joints.
It can be a Rheumatoid Arthritis or an SLE related arthritis or something of infectious etiology if it is associated with fever and is of short duration..
Osteo-Arthritis is not common cause at your age.
The low vitamin-D seems to be an incidental finding and apparently not a cause to start this problem.
I would like you to get a local physical examination by your physician and get a CBC, CRP, ESR, RA factor and ANA/ANF and Xray of wrist and knee joints to get a better in sight in your health problem.
I hope the advise would be helpful for you.
