Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You are likely to be having muscle cramps. You can be benefited by calcium, EVION LC and vitamin D. Analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief can be taken. You can get your vitamin D3 levels to be done and if found low it can be supplemented. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
