My mother is 68 years old and she is suffering from osteoarthritis for quite some years now. Her Vitamin D3 when tested showed deficiency and it stood at 9. Can I give my mother the medicine Uprise D3 once a week to provide relief from pain in her knees and decrease the swelling in her swollen foot? Please suggest.
