Thigh weakness and knee pain
I had vitamin d level 7 (normal 75-105) in oct when i got my test done after that i was prescribed 60k vitamin d powder weekly and calcimax 500 everyday. Now since last 15-20 days i am still having knee pain in left leg while climbing stairs and squatting and my left leg is unable to bear a sudden load and also have noticed that my thigh of left leg has become thinned than that of right one and muscle also seems weaker and less tightened than right one. I have assuming it to be due to the fact that i am not using my left leg properly due to knee pain and giving 70-75% load on right leg only. Can it be the reason? Can anyone help me regarding this please?
Ps i have attached the photograph of my legs

Any other test besides vitamin d ?
It s clear that cause of your problem was not vitamin d.
From the pic it seems that you have bowing of legs and probably one side of your knee is having more load than other due to some mechanical imbalance. Get one pic while you are standing with both feet facing grant and ankles touching together.
I l get back to u after I see these.
