Last month i started having joint pain and bone pain pain in every bone of my body had so many tests
Vit d, aso,rfactor,anticcp,ana,hlab27 out of all these my aso was high 450 and my vit d was at 11.6
went to a rheumatologist he ordered xray of pelvis and knee joint both came out to be normal so he said to supplement vitd 1000iu daily and 60kiu weekly
after supplementing it for a month i tested my vit d levels which stood at 51 but the pain is still there it has subsided but by 20-30 percent and my joints of whole body has been cracking a lot since then
my cal,vit d,phosphorus,alkaline phosphate all normal
one of the first doctors i met he said to take penicillin injection for next 5 years but my rheumatologist said that high aso is generally common in india and the pain is due to vit d deficiency

ASO titre is a very non specific test and yes, it is quite common in India to have high ASO titres.
Keep following up with the rheumatologist as this is often encountered in regular practice. The need for penicillin is not always there to treat this pain. The pain may be due to other causes.
Follow up with your Rheumatologist.
