Complains of pain at ankle occasionally
My son is active in sports (about 10 hours per week). Once in a while he complains of pain at ankle. Got vitamin D3 tested, found it to be at 5, got treatment of d-rise 60000 for 4 weeks. Two weeks after stopping the treatment, D3 is at 43. He also had hairline fractures twice - once in the arm and another time in right index finger - both while playing sports. What should we do for his infrequent complaint about ankle pain?

This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.
