Suggest Treatment For Leg Pains
I have been diagnosed with a B12, folic acid and magnesium deficiency and have had 2 B 12 shots and am taking prescription follicle acid and over the counter magnesium. I have a severe ache in both of my legs. I am not able to walk hardly any distance and I really suffer for it. How long will it take for me to get relief with the vitamins I am on? Also is there a over the counter drug I can take until then. I have a job standing on my feet all day and really suffer from it. I am a 63 year old female with no other health problems. Thank you

Drinking plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration
Stretching your leg muscles or riding a stationary cycle.
Taking diet rich in calcium and potassium or oral supplements of the same
