I am having severe Deficiency of Vitamin D that is 6.49 ng/ml. Due to that I am having severe back pain also and feels light pain in other body parts and bones. As I studied lil bit regarding vitamin D severe Deficiency causes can be less or negligible exposure to sunlight may be the reason. So my concern is that is this could be the only reason or something else. I am pure vegetarian not talking even Eggs. So apart from sunlight how can we increase vitamin D. Also another question is that due this severe Deficiency of Vitamin D my bones might become brittle so can I do some exercise with physiotherapist to subsidize my back pain or doing exercise in this situation will make my condition worst or it will be helpful.

Please have two slots of 15 minutes exposure to the sun between 11 am and 3 pm in a week. Eat balanced meals. For back pain take help from a good trained physiotherapist or yoga instructor.

Use heat and cold. Studies show that heat and cold are effective ways to get relief from back pain. Ice packs are most beneficial when a person uses them directly after an injury, such as a strain. Applying an ice pack wrapped in a towel directly to the back can reduce inflammation.
