      Hello, My grandfather has severe pain in his joints. We consulted a doctor and he asked us to do some tests. He is vitamin C deficient. How is this possible? Can a vitamin C deficiency cause joint pain? I am 22 years old female and my grandfather is 74 years old.

        @indu Hello, Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that must be consumed regularly to prevent deficiency. Joints contain a lot of collagen-rich connective tissue, they can also be affected by vitamin C deficiency. Joint pain associated with vitamin C deficiency, often severe enough to cause limping or difficulty walking. Bleeding within the joints can also occur in people who are deficient in vitamin C, causing swelling and additional pain. Yet, both of these symptoms can be treated with vitamin C supplements and commonly resolve within one week. Vitamin C deficiency often causes severe joint pain. In severe cases, bleeding can occur within the joints, causing painful swelling.
