Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Calcitriol sachets needs to be taken as 1 sachet per week for 6 weeks. This would help to replenish Vitamin D in the body. If your elbow pain is causes due to Vitamin D deficiency, then you should start feeling better by 3 weeks.
If the pain is persistent, then it could be due to ligament or muscle sprain. It needs to be evaluated by an Orthopedician and then treated accordingly.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
