Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and understand your concern. This pain seems to be related to a reduction in electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and calcium. I suggest you to take

1. Tablet Shelcal (Calcium and Vitamin D3) 500 mg, morning and night for 30 days before food.

2. Tablet Vitamin D 60000 units once daily for ten days and then once a month for 11 months.

Take these tablets only if you are not allergic to them. Drink lots of water and fresh lime juice if possible. I hope this will help you.

Thank you.
