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.
