Vit D deficiency can have symptoms of weak muscles and aching bones.

I am sure others may come along with some suggestions, I just read your post and remembered the other one.
I'm not sure if I replied here on that - on the other forum I mentioned it.

I have vitamin D and calcium deficiency. I had a lot of bone pain - I could tell though that it was my bones and not muscles that hurt. Caltrate is enough for now to deal with this.

My condition was dx'd at age 2 as Rickett's. My dad had it too, my case is genetic. It's not uncommon in Irish people.

The main diff between Rickett's and just being deficient is that with Rickett's the liver can't make vitamin D or store it properly and that causes the bones to lose calcium.
