On A Low Carbohydrate Diet. Severe Pain On The Legs. Due To Vitamin Deficiency?
I am 35 and since February I have lost about 40 pounds and now weigh about 140 and I have been feeling great. I am on a low-carb diet and with 4 children and working full-time I am on my feet most of the day. I now have severe pain in the front of both legs (shins) that hurts just for clothing to touch. Could this be a vitamin deficiency?

hi welcome to hcm.it may be due to exhaustion as u said ur full day working so u plan and take rest in between and also do hot water massage into ur leg.sometime leg pain may be due to less water intake whole day,vitamin sp D deficiency,ca deficiency,may be due to any internal injury.so u concern any orthopedic doc for that.
