Brief Answer:
Can be due to
osteoporosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The arthritis and tightness in the muscles that you are feeling could be related to
osteoarthritis or a vitamin D3 deficiency. These are commonly encountered problems in women of your age group.
The treatment options include pain killers, hot fomentation, lubricating agents like glucosamine sulfate and some life style modifications and
physiotherapy.
Right now you can start taking Tablet Tylenol (
Acetaminophen) Double Strength after breakfast and after dinner. It is suggested to add
calcium supplements 500mg each twice daily. This will take care of your mild symptoms in 3-5 days.
You can start with walking and aerobic fitness exercises under the guidance of your physiotherapist.
You will also need to get enough calcium and vitamin D, eat a healthy diet, and exercise regularly. A large part of treating or reducing the effects of osteoporosis is getting enough calcium and vitamin D.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
