Suggest Treatment For Pain In Legs After Child Birth
Question: Having pain in legs while getting up. this is specially after my daughter's birth in April last year 2015.
Doctor suggested me to take Iron and calcium(Shellcal HD, and iron tablets) after the delivery but I was not able to take them on time/regularly.
Does this effect is due to some iron/calcium deficiency? please suggest appropriate supplements if i should start taking them again.

Hi
Thanks for the query
Pain in the legs especially while getting up and sitting position is due to deficiency of calcium. so continue taking tablets with shellcal D and iron tablets but both tablets should be taken in the different timings.( either in the night or morning)
Eat food which is rich in calcium like milk, ragi, sesame powder etc
Change in lifestyle by
Eating healthier.
Managing your weight.
Exercise can reduce the pain to an extent
If it is not reduced with above method , meet local orthopedic surgeon for further evaluation.
thank you
take care

Back and acute stomach pain happens to me during periods(consulted with doctors earlier this is rare but happens for some women's, i take muftal spas for it but if i dont take it proactively doesnt helps). Problem is this situation has'nt improved even after my 1st delivery(april last year).

Treatment of dysmenorrhea is aimed at providing symptomatic relief.
1 Medications used for dysmenorrhea includes pain killers and oral contraceptive pills (hormone therapy.
You can use the pain killers like NSAIDs(.Diclofenac Ibuprofen) as well as oral contraceptives (OCs) or sometimes doctors prescribes combination of this.
3 In addition to pain relief, mainstays of treatment include reassurance and education
for severe pain you can continue meftal spas, which reduces cramping pain
4. the levonorgestrel intrauterine device, and depot medroxyprogesterone acetate are still under trial
Treatment for secondary dysmenorrhea will vary with the underlying cause which includes Diagnostic laparoscopy, other hormonal treatments. So you have to meet gynecologist for further examination and treatment
