Hello, Low vitamin D levels lead to low calcium levels. That could be the reason of the pain. Daily exposure of sunlight early morning for at least 15 mins is important. Include vitamin D fortified cereals and milk in the diet. Supplementation might be important.

Vitamin D is essential for Calcium absorption. In deficiency, dietary calcium is not absorbed, So blood calcium level decreases which may cause tetany. Tetany or tetany seizure is the involuntary contraction of muscles, which may be caused by low calcium that increase the action potential frequency of muscle cells or the nerves that innervate them. Involuntary contraction of muscles causes pain in muscles of leg. Further, in response to low serum calcium, higher amounts of parathyroid hormone is release that moves calcium out of bone with resultant resorption of bone tissue leading to pain in bones of leg. Simplest treatment is Vitamin D-3 sachets marketed as Calcirol, I sachet to be taken once in a month for several years.
