vsd long term problems

I was born with a hole in my heart. They let it heal itself with no surgery. I was about a year old before I could sit up on my own. The information I have read, states that it decreases oxygen to the muscles. I am now 38 years old and doing somewhat well. I am having problems which all my doctors keep telling me is muscle and skeletal problems. I have always had problems in the muscles but it seems as I am getting older it is getting worse. I am pretty active but not as much as I should be. I am getting cortisone shots to help but that is a slow process. My question are......Can this be from having this problem at birth and is there something that can be done to help? I am on vitamins that the doctors have recommended. Is there something that my muscles and bones are deficient in and is there tests for this. Any light you can shed would be wonderful. The constant pain is starting to wear on me. Thank You
