Not usual

Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted your concern.
The most common problem with Vitamin D deficiency is muscle pains and aches. Some times muscle weakness also occur. Recently there are plenty of reports associating low Vitamin D with depression, diabetes etc. However, easy bruising is not a feature of Vitamin D deficiency. It is known to occur in a disease called CUSHING's Syndrome.
