Brief Answer:
May be vitamins and trace element deficiency
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I'm Dr. Sudhir Kumar,
After going through your query I concluded that you may be having vitamins and trace element deficiency because you are having these pains specially at night or when non weight bearing and you are not diabetic. You can get your Vitamin D3 and vitamin B12 level checked. You should also see your thyroid status by thyroid function test (T3,T4 and TSH).
Furthermore I empirically treat such persons coming to my clinic by:-
1.EVION LC
2.Mecobalmine
3.VITAMINE D3(if it is low)
4.VITAMIN B COMPLEX AND VITAMIN C
5.CALCIUM
6.ANALGESICS SUCH AS DICLOFENAC to relive pain.
You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.
Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
