default
Posted on Mon, 13 Jan 2014
Question: Hello Doctor, My wife recently got her Vitamin D levels checked and they are around 9.53 ng/ml. I understand this is severe deficiency. She also joined a gym sometime in August and post that, she is getting a clicking/squeaking sound in her right knee. Her mother is suffering from arthritis and we were wondering, if the noise in the knee is an onset of some form of arthritis?Any tests you suggest to put our fears to rest?

Yes it can due to start of early arthritis to rule out this you may need to do X-ray knee and MRI knee.
