Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for your query.

You can take Vit.D and calcium supplements. Routine physical activity is always advised as this will prevent stiffness from aggravating.
I would also like to give some advice to make the life better and to fight with these pains-
Do regular physiotherapy of joints.
Hot fomentation to decrease the joint stiffness
Hot bath of Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate)-Magnesium has both anti-inflammatory and anti- arthritic properties and it can be absorbed through the skin.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
I find this answer helpful
