Default Newb--excited to be here--nerve pain/Vit. D deficiency

Hi! I'm so excited to be here and learn from you. I also hope to encourage someone else. Here is the short intro and I will follow with a longer one for anyone interested:

I have had severe pain in my feet/ankles/calves for 5 months.
First diagnosed with bilateral Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome in November '09.
Had one Tarsal Tunnel Release surgery.
No improvement. In fact podiatrist is now saying I don't fit into any normal foot pain category--that it has to be something more.
Have since had MRIs of brain, spine and feet.
All is 'well'.
Only abnormalties are my EMG results and PAIN.
All bloodwork has been good so far except for Vitamin D.
It was a 10 last week!!!
That is a pretty severe deficiency--wouldn't you say?!

My question for you veterans is:
What are the chances that my severe pain that no dr. knows what to do with, be completely related to this deficiency? Have you seen people on here with D deficiency have relief for undiagnosed conditions?

LONGer story soon to come.
Must take care of my 18 month old...
