Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Periods in women can bring various symptoms like fatigue,irritability,headache,aches and pains in lower back,thighs and legs in them.
Leg pain is very common ailment during premenstrual period,menstruation and post menstrual period.There are various causes for that like
Dehydration
Mineral deficiencies
Vitamin deficiencies
Some times uterus and legs share a nerve pathway,in which case a pain from uterine contraction can trigger pain in legs.
Endometriosis
Dysmenorrhea.
Since you are taking eltroxin and VIT D deficient,it indicates that you are having calcium deficiency also.
Iron deficiency and VIT C deficiency can lead to easy bruising of your legs along with other reasons like bleeding disorders.
Consult your doctor and get tested for all of the above mentioned possibilities
I feel you are deficient in vitamins and mineral deficiencies and a proper intake of these should make you alright.
