Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
as you describe it appears to be the anemia,myalgia,arthritis neuralgia etc.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have M.R.I. for diagnosis.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days,and then periodically,ofloxacin, and mefenamic acid, and paracetamol.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods till the pains are completely controlled.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
