Responses (5) Hi Rutvij, vitamin D deficiency sure can cause pain and havoc with our bodies. I also had the same problem, but my doctor had me take a prescription vitamin D, once a week, at 50,000 IU's. If you take too much it can be toxic and cause problems as well as a deficiency.
The best way to know if you need to take a vitamin D supplement is to get your vitamin D tested, BUT only using the correct test. The test you want is the 25(OH)D test, NOT the 1,25(OH)D test. If your vitamin D levels are OK, then you should NOT take vitamin D supplements.
