Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that since you dont give any history of swelling of any joint is very unlikely to be arthritis . A lot of causes an give rise to such complaints . Metabolic deficiencies remain the primary cause of feelig weakness and pain in legs .

I will advise you to get Calcium , vitamin D levels , Vitamin B 12 levels , CPK , Serum TSH , T3 , T4 levels and Rheumatoid factor as preliminary investigations. It is advisable to get these levels done before any kind of supplements .

In case you have any other symptoms please mention so it will be helpful in identifying the problem.


Take care.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

The complaints that you are telling are non specific so giving you a diagnosis will be difficult at this stage without lab testing . Still I will advise you to take a calcium tablet 500 mg once daily , A vitamin d XXXXXXX like cacirol XXXXXXX 60,000 IU once a week for 12 weeks , a multivitamin tablet specially containing vitamin B 12 once a day.

This will help in solving the problem.
