Hello,

Vitamin D is important for mineralisation of the bones.
Low levels of vitamin D with cause demineralisation of the bone and make it week.
This causes bone pain and muscle weakness which is causing all the pain.
Vitamin D supplement is needed to manage the condition.
Bone scan is needed to study the bone density for any osteoporosis.
