Calcium supplements

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Considering your age and gender, I believe the reason for your pains would be defeciency of calcium and/ Vitamin D.

Taking calcium supplements like Tab Shelcal 500mg once daily after breakfast for two months wil surely reduce the pains. Calcium incrases the bone strength and is a essential elememt needed in muscle contraction.

Also, do get youe Vit D levels estimated. If low, you may have to start supplement Vit D after consulting your doctor.

Get your legs massaged regularly to improve the blood circulation and prevent any venous blood stasis.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
