Brief Answer: Check your vit B12 and vit D3 level. Detailed Answer: Hello mam, Thanks for your query. The symptoms that you are having are likely to be related to benign causes like electrolyte imbalance, vitamin B 12 and vit D deficiency, etc. Most of the times these symptoms can be taken care of by taking electrolyte rich fluids and Methylcobalamin and vit D supplements. I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief Strengthening gradual exercises will help in reducing pain. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
