I am a 40 yr old woman, mother of 4 children(ages ranging from 19 to 4 yrs), have had 5 miscarriages in between pregnancies and suffering from hypothyroidism. I work flexible hours in a management position requiring low physical movement. I need advice regarding my problem of consistent lower back and knee pain which is not subsiding with rest.

Dear Patient,

Could you plz answers some ques to help me more? Is the pain constant? Is it associated with limited movement or stiffness? Did you experience any trauma or lift weights recently? Have you used any gels/creams or medications?

Please try using moltyfoam back support cushion when you sit. Apply warm towels or hot water bag to the affected region. Apply moov or voltral gel to the affected regions. Take ponstan forte twice a day for a week. If your problem persists you may see a specialist.

Dear Patient,

Hello, with age our body stores of calcium and Vit D get depleted resulting in backaches, knee aches, bodily aches. having said that I won't recommend you to start using calcium and Vit D supplements without getting them checked first. Its better to see a general physician first and get yourself fully examined first.
