Chronic knee pain
I am having chronic knee pain from last four - fivryears. Having resistance in knee movement...also occasional intense knee pain in night. My physio asked for vitamin d and calcium test. Vit d was found to be at twenty nu/l where it should be above seventy. My physio advices me to take d three, sixty five thousand capsules weekly. I m taking for last one month but there is no improvement. Please advise.

Dear gentleman,
Greetings, A proper diagnosis is a must before any medication or supplementation. In addition I would suggest you to consult a nutrition expert to get sorted with the deficiency issues. A regular rehabilitation exercises from a therapist if weakness persists is a must. The therapist can suggest you on the basis of diagnosis the best options available. Try to consult and get it diagnosed as soon as possible. Cheers.
