Why do I have leg pain when I stop taking vitamin D3 supplements?

Question

Hello doctor,

It all started with leg pain some two years ago. At that time my vitamin D3 level was only 8. Then, I took Uprise-D3 60000 weekly dose for two months. I was cured and fine. But after six months, the problem started again. I did my blood tests again and it was 30. I started taking vitamin D3 again and got about 70 % relief. Three months later, my vitamin D3 level was 66. But when I stopped taking vitamin D3, the symptoms occurred again. Kindly help. My uric acid is 7.6 and calcium level is 10.5.

4. You need to drink eight to ten glasses of water daily. Dehydration can also cause muscle pain and high uric acid levels.

You have to introduce graded exercise in view of your fatigue. Try not go to the gym but just walk 10 minutes at moderate pace daily and increase it by five minutes every week. Try not to exert yourself and try to exercise only if you feel better.
