Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The leg problems may not be related to the drugs you are using. The cramps may be due to the defeciency of the calcium, or some electrolytes like sodium, or potassium.
The knee pain may be due to the arthritis of the knee or brusitis.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods till you get complete relief.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to have a fast recovery.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
