57+ F was under treatment for Osteo Arthritis & early bony Osteoporosis along with vit D3 14 [30-100]. She was on a monthly dosage of'DV 60K' for past 2-years, which improved her vit D3 to 55. But now her vitD3 medicine is stopped & she is advised to continue'Shelcal CT' &'Zedfit powder as before. This has been done couple of months back, but looks like her knee joints are not so flexible as they were during vitD3 medications. Is this normal behavior? Is there any remedy?

Vit D3 doesnt improve flexibility to the joints. It only helps in calcium absorption from the intestines. Vit D has not got any role in osteoarthritis treatment. It can be used in osteoporosis and Vit D deficiency and now that the vit D levels are back to normal there is no need for continuing it.
