Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen are helpful in pain relief. Glucosamine, vitamin B and C is helpful in recovery. Vitamin D3 can be useful if vitamin D deficiency (Low vitamin D levels on test). You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
