Brief Answer:
need further investigations..

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX, Hello and welcome to HCM,
I've gone through your query and understand your concern..

Well seems like you've tried quite a few supplementation for this persistent pain..

At this point you actually need to get evaluated for Diabetes (if not checked recently), FBS,PPBS(2 Hr post prandial), Urine analysis and HbA1C level to be specific as uncontrolled and undiagnosed Diabetes is prone for causing this type of symptoms..

Also you actually need to get examined for any mineral deficiency before actually taking any supplementations , a Complete Renal function test and Electrolyte assay to name a few..

Please try to recall which factors are aggrevating any which are relieving the pain to some extent..

Is the pain get increased after walking ? Any Swelling/discoloration over the legs ?

Do you have any history of arthritis ?

Any history of trauma/injury ?

Any other medical/surgical problems ?

Please let me know about these so that I can guide you in a better way..

Meanwhile it would be better to get those comprehensive check-ups done ..

Please don't take Ibuprofen for longer duration, try simple analgesic like Tab PARACETAMOL 650 mg Three times a day after food for next 3-4 days..

Take Care
Kind Regards
