Hi,
Thanks for choosing healthcaremagic for posting your query

I'm Dr. Sudhir Kumar,

I have gone through your question in detail and understand your concern.
You are likely to be having muscular pain as it is common in your age. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Rest is helpful. Multivitamins helps in its recovery. You can get your vitamin D3 levels and if found low you can take vitamin D3 supplements.

You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.
