If doctors are telling you that there is vitamin D deficiency i would suggest you to get these investigation
Serum Calcium, Alkaline phosphate and Phosphorus level
Serum D3 level
Serum PTH
after getting result of these test it would be easy to find out the cause of low calcium and you can get treatment according to that.
