I have been experiencing lots of hip joint pain these past few years. Having no idea what it is from, I asked a fellow swimmer and found out they have the exact same thing.
This person said she had been told by her physician it's due to a lack of vitamin D.
Naturally, I ran to the computer and clicked on to what foods have lots of vitamin D in them. When fish oil came up as the best source I wondered why my one gigantic pill of Omega-3 fish oil wasn't supplying enough vitamin D for me?
Anyone else have this problem? Anyone with any knowledge on this diagnosis? I'm stymied myself.
It makes sense on some level because living in the gray Midwest with little sun, more or less, for 7 months of the year here might cause a lack of vitamin D.
