Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
After going through your query I think you are having muscle pains in back of your thigh and femur in night. In my opinion these pains are likely to be due to vitamins and trace element deficiency specially that of vitamin D.I will suggest you to got following test to see cause .1.Serum Vitamin D 2.Serum Vitamin B12 3.Blood sugar fasting and PP. Furthermore I empirically treat my such patients by:-1.EVION LC 2.VITAMINE D3(if it is low) 3.VITAMIN B COMPLEX AND VITAMIN C 4.CALCIUM 5.Mecobalmine 6.ANALGESICS such as ibuprofen to relieve pain.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Wishing you good health. Take care.
