Question : I am 33 year old, mother of a 1 yr old child. Post delivery I've been having ache in legs. The doctor had prescribed me calcium and vitamins tablets post delivery for the same and conveyed it is normal. Since few weeks the pain has aggravated. To be specific after a long sitting duration when I get up it is difficult for me to walk but after 1 min or so the pain goes off. Kindly help.

Brief Answer: It seems like myopathy Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic. From your description it seems like myopathy. But I need more details about your symptoms like exact location of pain, where does the pain start, how long does it last, does it get better with something, etc. If you have any recent blood tests done, please upload the results. Please let me know these details so that I am better able to help you. Regards Dr Vaishalee
