Suffering From Vitamin D Deficiency. Prescribed Medicines, Advised To Stand In The Sun Early Morning. Any Other Remedy?
Hi Dr Herrick, few months back I found that my Vitamin D level was extremely low ... and now for last few weeks I am feeling pain in my knees whenever I keep my first foot in the morning and when I stand up from the squat position. When I consulted a doctor, he suggested me to face sun early in the morning and gave me Calcirol granules 1 sachet per day which I am taking continually. Please let me know if I need to do something more. Thanks

Hi
Thanks for writing to hcm.
Vit d deficiency has to be treated with vitd and sunlight which you are already doing correctly.
I would advice you to take plenty of milk and calcium containing foods like egg meat etc.
Vit d helps body to absorb and retain calcium in the body which means you have to take calcium rich diet as above.
