Detailed Answer:
Hi,Warm Welcome. I appreciate your trust in HCM
I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. From your description and medicines prescribed I think you should rule out vitamin D deficiency as a commonest cause. You can get vitamin D test and if found low she can take full course of vitamin D3. Doctor has prescribed medicines related to neurologic and degenerative pain and osteoporosis (weak bones). She should also go through blood sugar test to rule out diabetes and thyroid function test to rule out hyperthyroidism. You can discuss with your doctor about it.
Hope your query got answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
