Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read your query and saw your reports (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity).

I suggest you follow the instructions mentioned below.

  1. Add foods to your diet that will compensate for your vitamin D deficiency as foods fortified with vitamin D like dairy products, orange juice, soy products (soy milk, tofu), orange juice, cereals, cheese, egg yolk, beef liver, fatty fishes like tuna, salmon, etc.
  2. Along with diet, sunlight is a great source of vitamin D. Exposure to sunlight leads to a reaction in the skin which helps in making vitamin D naturally. Sun rays in the early morning are more beneficial for this. So get up early in the morning and spend at least 20 to 30 minutes in the sunlight.
  3. Take a tablet of Asthiposhak (ayurvedic medicine) two tablets twice daily after food with water for four weeks.
  4. For pain, take Lakshadi oil (ayurvedic medicine) and do gentle massage with it over the legs and feet. You can do it at night or just before bathing.
  5. If you are overweight, then try to reduce your weight because being overweight also leads to vitamin D deficiency.
  6. Sleep adequately at least for eight hours.

Try all these regularly and you will soon feel positive results.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer.

Kindly consult a specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.

Thank you.
