39 is a good count. You might also get your B 12 levels as the deficiency of the same gives calf cramps.

Get to a nearest Physical Therapist for a proper stretching exercise regime.

You don't have Vitamin D deficiency. 39 is normal. Calf muscle pain could be as a result of tightness in the gastrocnemius/soleus muscle. Ice the calf for 10-12min and repeat it 5-6 times/day. Stretch the gastrocnemius and soleus muscle- hold each stretch for 25sec and repeat it twice. Physiotherapy treatment including passive stretching, soft tissue release and taping will definitely help you. Kind Regards, Dr Kshama Dhawan Shah Polyclinic
