Question: My leg muscles hurt these days quite a bit. Muscles in hips, thighs, calves. My heels hurt. And I do have plantar fasciitis. I was diagnosed with severe D and B12 deficiency. Im a vegetarian. I take morning walks pretty regularly. But for last couple weeks they have become difficult to manage. I do go for massages often but that doesnt seem to be helping anymore.
Brief Answer:
Start with Vitamin D3 and methylcoblamin supplements.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in muscles, calves, hips and legs can be due to severe vitamin D deficiency that you have. This needs proper Vitamin D3 supplements at lest 60,000IU once week long with proper exposure to sunlight. Adding regular calcium supplements like Tab Corcium K2 will also help.
In addition to the supplements you need to have electrolyte rich plenty of fluids orally like fresh fruit juices. Taking methylcobalamin supplements will also help.
Mild pain killers will help in case the pain is severe or persistent. X-ray of the affected joints will help in diagnosing any arthritic changes.
Hope this answers your query. Any further follow up queries are welcome.
