Fatigue, Pain In Legs During Period, Blood Work Shows Ferritin 7. On Iron Pills. Suggestions?

Hello,
About a month ago I was struggling with fatigue. I went to the doctor and got bloodwork done. I had a ferritin of 7. I am now taking iron pills and have seen some progress. But I am still having pain in my legs and a little fatigue especially when I am on my period. What could be the problem with my low iron and pain.

Hello, Massage your feet with coconut or almond oil. Another great massage lotion can be prepared from camphor and mustard oil. Messaging your feet with this lotion you will be able to get rid of leg pain. For this lotion you need 200 gm mustard oil and 10 gm of camphor. Mix these two ingredients in a bottle and put the bottle in the sun until the camphor melts completely. Message your feet using this lotion or add it in the water and soak your feet in it.

Methi (fenugreek) is a very efficient herb that can be used successfully in treating leg pain, too. Let the fenugreek leaves to dry in the sun for 5-6 days and then mix them with a glass of water. Take this remedy at the first hours in the morning.

Epsom salt is rich in minerals and especially in magnesium and it has the medicinal capability to alleviate the leg pain. Put some Epsom salt in warm water and soak your leg in it for 15-20 minutes.

Prepare a paste from turmeric, salt and lime and apply it on the painful leg. You will feel relieved in a short time.
With Regards.
