Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
After going through your history, You recently got surgery and hope must be recovering well.
You have backache,bone pain and varicose veins. Please consult your physician for detail examination and if required investigations,Like Complete blood counts, Liver function and kidney function,Thyroid functions, a Color doppler study of lower limbs.
During this period of lactation requirement of calories and calcium is increased and proper supplementation must be taken of calcium and vitamin D.
Treatment depends on causative factor to find out Anemia,or calcium deficiency.
In the meantime take well balanced diet and some exercise and vitamin and calcium supplements.Do not stop them by yourself.
Take care.
Good Luck.
Dr.Akhilesh Dubey M.D.
