I've recently moved to the Chicago area from the gorgeous state of Michigan...find myself with a lot of muscle/bone pain (and a high ANA, along with various and sundry OTHER autoimmune diseases).

My doctor has requested that I see a rheumatologist.  My Vit D is low, so now taking that.

Other than general malais and feeling like I hit the wall at 2 p.m. with  no energy, muscle weakness in my legs and bone aches (worse at night) and itching all over...uhm, couldn't this just be Vit D deficiency.  He wants me checked for fibro and lupus. 

Do any of you have bone pain that is worse at night or when you lie down?

If you read the Fibro 101 post, scroll down to #12 for help finding a doc.

I think everyone aches more at night. Just one of Fibro's many ways of laughing at our attempts to get a good night's sleep.

Vit D deficiency can certainly add to pain but I'm fairly sure your doctor would tell you if that was the only thing wrong.

Are you sure it's bone pain? Could it be muscle spasms?

Thank you.

I don't know what it is, but it feels like bone pain. I also have osteopenia and facet's disease, and had a rhizotomy to stop that pain, I thought at first it was JUST that acting up...but it seems not.
