Detailed Answer:
Welcome at HCM
I am Dr Saad Sultan and will be answering your query. I have read and understood your health concerns.
Do you have diabetes or hypertension? Any other systemic illness? Are you using any iron supplement?
As far as your case is concerned it need to be investigated so that exact pathology can be identified. If I am your attending physician I will get your FBC, ESR, liver function tests and kidney function. Thyroid hormone analysis , CPK level should also be done.
As you have mentioned that you have low iron levels , it is one of the cause of your symptoms. You should also be investigated for anemia as well.
Use regular nutritional food and iron supplement.
You can use acetaminophen to relieve pain.
Hope it helps
Regards
Dr Saad Sultan
