> I don't think anything about coconut oil, fish oil or a multivitamin would cause leg pains. Unless, you are taking an unusually large amount of cononut oil or fish oil, then maybe leg pain could be a result I guess. Are you sure there isn't anything else causing the leg pain? Any recent or long term stress/depression/anxiety? Any recent changes in medication?

Thanks for your response.
I am not taking any medication and it is definitely not related to stress/depression/anxiety. I didn't have this problem before starting the coconut oil and that included days that I was depressed about being unemployed.
Unfortunately, due to not having insurance and being unemployed, getting my D level checked is not an option. But I am going to experiment by slowly increasing the dose and see if that helps. So I appreciate you mentioning that.
I take a basic multivitamin from X-Tend Life. I have been very careful about not taking one that had too much stuff because I found it would cause insomnia.
Regarding diet, I eat very little junk food but it isn't as varied as it could be. So that could be an issue.
I am taking about 2 TBS of coconut oil per day and around 1400mg fish oil.
Thanks, I will check out the mind and muscle site.
