What Causes Pain In Lower Limbs?
Question: i am getting lower limb pain since 2 months, before that i have suffered viral fever
Brief Answer:
Possible post viral fatigue syndrome.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.
I understand your concern.
You seem to post viral fatigue syndrome. This can present with intense leg cramps.
Since when are you taking the supplements? These symptoms should settle down with pregabalin, methylcobalamin and replacement of Vit D as prescribed by your physician.
You need not worry much as of now since the pain will subside in 1-2 weeks from now. No specific therapy is need as of now.
You require added work up only if symptoms does not resolve after 2 weeks.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
No further investigations are needed at this stage.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.
I understand your concern.
In case if symptoms still persist,low Vit D levels have to be attributed.
You seem to have normal Vit B12 levels,hence you can stop taking pregabalin as its continuous use is not advised.Methylcobalamin can be continued.
I advise you to take 600 IU of Tab Calciferol one tab daily for 3 months along with Tab Tayo K one tab once a month.
Also tab conviron forte one tab a day for 3 months should be used at bedtime to improve body iron as well.
Please note these drugs have to be taken under medical prescription.
You do not need any further investigations as of now.
This regimen should improve all your symptoms.
