Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As Boron use will not cause much side effects until it reach its upper limit level. Mostly the side effects might be weakness, headache, skin inflammation and peeling off, may even cause depression.
I also suggest you to take physiotherapy,acupuncture, hot or cold compression treatment.
Hope I have answered your query.
