Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

I'm Dr. Sudhir Kumar

After going through your query I think you are having muscle twitches and generalized pain all over the body. In my opinion these pains are likely to be due to vitamins and trace element deficiency specially that of vitamin D.

I will suggest you to got following test to see cause (if these are not done earlier).

1.Serum Vitamin D
2.Serum Vitamin B12
3.T3,T4,TSH(Thyroid profile)
4.Blood sugar fasting and PP
5.Hb

Furthermore Empirically I treat my such patients by:-
1.EVION LC
2.VITAMINE D3(if it is low
3.VITAMIN B COMPLEX AND VITAMIN C
4.CALCIUM
5.Mecobalmine
6.ANALGESICS SUCH AS DICLOFENAC

You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
