hi,
thanks for the brief history of you.
it seems to appear you have been suffering from osteoporosis.
that's where you have mentioned about the calcium and vitamin D3.

since you already took a dose of vitamin d3 and calcium I will advice you to continue the advice of the physician and also discuss about weight bearing exercises which will add on to your improvements.
also to understand that calcium needs deposition which can happen with the help of weight bearing exercise. kindly try to take regular sun baths which will help you to improve the vitamin D levels in your cells
exercise also will help you boost your metabolism and immune system. it will even improve your muscle strength and reduce any pain and aches you facing.
with the grace of God I wish you a good health and speedy recovery
