Vitamin D deficiency

Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query

This could be due to wide variety of causes. At your age commonly it's arthritis and muscle fatigue with Vitamin D deficiency.

Take a warm water bath. Continue Ibuprofen for 5 days. Take Tablet Vitamin D3 with Calcium supplements for 3 months.

Do daily walking exercise for 45 minutes. Very enough sunlight exposure with the protection of sunscreen.

Get blood tests for Thyroid hormones, blood sugar, Serum Vitamin D3, Serum Uric acid.

Do upload these values for my reference.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu
