What are blood tests for rickets or not?

2018-05-17 13:17:08
I'm 20 now and i have noticed bow legs from when i was 15 and my doctor also said that that maybe due to my past usage of anti- seizure and thyroid drugs. I'm now getting pain in my knee bones even for a slight walk or squat.I feel my bones are weak so considering to getting blood tests to determine rickets.Can anyone please explain me what all blood tests are needed to determine whether or not rickets in detail? And also should go for surgery further to cure my bow legs at the age of 20 now?
