Bone and joint pain
Hey doctor,
I am suffering from bone and joints pain since 2 yrs. I did my vitamin d levels it came 13 ng/ml. My doctor advised me vitamin d capsule once a week but no difference in my health. After that for better absorption I took Vitamin d 6lac IU injections but still my levels are low. What is the problem? Why vitamin d is not absorbing in my body?

Ususally if Vitamin D is so low then you may need more than 1 injection. Also get your Vitamin B 12 checked along with Hemoglobin.
Low levels of Vitamins may be one of the contributing factors for your pain but not the only one.
Next Steps
Better consult with a pain management specialist.
