Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. The normal vitaminD level is 30-100 ng/ml and less than 20 ng/ml is deficiency.

2. The vitamin D level is normal for you but the bones need to get mineralized to normal state, then your pain will subside.

3. In some clinical trials, patients require 3 months vitamin D supplementation before they get significant relief. I hope your pain had improved slightly after starting vitamin D supplementation. Please continue taking vitamin D supplementation under recommendation from your doctor.

Hope your query is answered.
Please write back if you have any doubts.
