Hello,

Thanks for writing to Health Care magic, I am Dr , Muhammad Ahmad , I have read your question closely, I understand your concern and will be helping you with your health related problem.

Such complains are usually in patients with low levels of vitamin D i would suggest you to get your vitamin D levels done and it is advised to take med for osteoporosis as this can get worse after menopause and you might end up with broken bones with minor traumas.

There are OTC calcium vitamin D supplements available in market buy a good one and start using it, till you get vitamin D levels done if they are on much lower side then you can start high dose vitamin D supplementation after discussing with your doctor.

I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you.
Regards.

Dr.Muhammad Ahmad
