Exactly, as answered by my other colleagues, it's a reversible disease and can be treated easily... Just increase a bit sun exposure (sun burns in summer), increase the dietary intake of diets rich in vit. D and calcium like eggs, pulses and milk, have regular exercise for at least 30 minutes a day and along with that take calcium and vit. D supplements as mentioned by my colleagues in their comments... Also if you are on treatment for some other chronic illness, the medicines needs to be checked as some can causes osteomalacia... If not on other treatments, follow the above advices
