Hello again,

You may be having severe vit D deficiency and you may need to repeat supplement. You may need 2 more doses at interval of 4 weeks.
Effect of this dose of vitamin D will take 2 to 6 week’s time to show results.

Physiotherapy sessions may help to reduce pain, so I advise to take physiotherapy.

You may need to continue iron supplement.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. If you find this answer helpful do not forget to rate this answer at end of discussion.

Take care.
