It looks like you have vitamin d deficiency and anaemia. You need to improve the tone of the muscles in a rhythmical manner. If you do that with proper diet restriction nothing will happen to you. Shin pain after walking or running and minor pain in the calf muscles while walking is due to the low iron in the body. You need to take iron tablets or you can consume good diet for you to feel better.

Here are some non-medication treatments commonly recommended for heel pain: rest: avoid activities that aggravate the pain and give your heels time to rest and heal. Ice: apply ice packs to the affected area for about 15-20 minutes several times a day to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Stretching exercises: perform gentle stretching exercises for the calf muscles and plantar fascia to improve flexibility and reduce tension in the heel area. Footwear: wear supportive shoes with good arch support and cushioning to reduce strain on the heels. Avoid flat shoes or high heels that may exacerbate heel pain. Orthotic inserts: consider using orthotic inserts or heel cups to provide additional support and cushioning for your heels. Night splints: use night splints while sleeping to keep the foot in a neutral position and stretch the plantar fascia and achilles tendon. Physical therapy: a physical therapist can provide specialized exercises and treatments to alleviate heel pain and improve foot mechanics. Weight management: maintain a healthy weight to reduce pressure on the heels and minimize strain on the feet. Avoid barefoot walking: avoid walking barefoot, especially on hard surfaces, to prevent further irritation to the heels. If conservative treatments do not provide relief, your healthcare provider may recommend other interventions such as corticosteroid injections, shockwave therapy, or surgery in severe cases.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called plantar fasciitis, which is characterized by stabbing pain near the heel, especially in the morning or after periods of rest. Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain in adults, particularly those who are middle-aged or older. Here are some non-prescription treatment options that may help relieve your heel pain: over-the-counter pain relievers: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids) such as ibuprofen (advil, motrin) or naproxen (aleve) can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. However, it's important to follow the recommended dosage and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking other medications. Footwear: wear supportive shoes with good arch support and cushioning to reduce strain on the heels. Avoid walking barefoot or wearing unsupportive footwear, especially on hard surfaces. Stretching exercises: perform gentle stretching exercises for the calf muscles and plantar fascia to improve flexibility and reduce tension in the heel area. Examples include calf stretches, towel stretches, and plantar fascia stretches. Ice therapy: apply ice packs to the affected heel for about 15-20 minutes several times a day to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Orthotic inserts: consider using orthotic inserts or heel cups to provide additional support and cushioning for your heels. These can help distribute pressure more evenly and reduce strain on the plantar fascia. Night splints: consider using night splints while sleeping to keep the foot in a neutral position and stretch the plantar fascia, which may help alleviate morning heel pain. Physical therapy: a physical therapist can provide specialized exercises and treatments to alleviate heel pain and improve foot mechanics. They may also use techniques such as ultrasound therapy or soft tissue mobilization to reduce inflammation and promote healing.

Ice therapy would definitely help to reduce the inflammation. We also advise you to use knee cap which would help to prevent the knee from damaging further and also to maintain the quadriceps muscle tone. Stiffness might have developed due to weakness of the ligaments &inflammed cartilage. Specific knee exercises will also help ie. Keeping ball underneath the knee and keep pressing it. That's the simple exercise which will help you to strengthen the knee. You need to consume good protein and iron diet in your body which will help you to break the fatigue and general body pain. However non veg foods definitely makes you to get increased with the toxin levels in the body and it makes your knee to have less fluid content in the system. In general we suggest patients who has knee pain to eat more water content vegetables which will definitely help you to feel better. This is a general knee pain and for this you can follow these measures: one keep a pillow right under the knee while sleeping, next is you can keep ice in the painful area for about 5--10 minutes, it looks like you are is important to check that. Anaemia always leads to the symptoms of being tired and also having body pain though there may not be any pathological reasons for knee pain. With knee exercises you will definitely feel better and muscles must be strengthened. •patellar tendinitis: •risk factor •a combination of factors may contribute to the development of patellar tendinitis, including: •physical activity. •running and jumping are most commonly associated with patellar tendinitis. Sudden increases in how hard or how often you engage in the activity also add stress to the tendon, as can changing your running shoes. •tight leg muscles. Tight thigh muscles (quadriceps) and hamstrings, which run up the back of your thighs, can increase strain on your patellar tendon. ••muscular imbalance. •if some muscles in your legs are much stronger than others, the stronger muscles could pull harder on your patellar tendon. This uneven pull could cause tendinitis. •chronic illness. •some illnesses disrupt blood flow to the knee, which weakens the tendon. Examples include kidney failure, autoimmune diseases such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis and metabolic diseases such as diabetes. •complications •if you try to work through your pain, ignoring your body's warning signs, you could cause increasingly larger tears in the patellar tendon. Knee pain and reduced function can persist if you don't tend to the problem, and you may progress to the more serious patellar tendinopathy. •prevention •to reduce your risk of developing patellar tendinitis, take these steps: •don't play through pain. As soon as you notice exercise-related knee pain, ice the area and rest. Until your knee is pain-free, avoid activities that put stress on your patellar tendon. •strengthen your muscles. Strong thigh muscles are better able to handle the stresses that can cause patellar tendinitis. Eccentric exercises, which involve lowering your leg very slowly after extending your knee, are particularly helpful. •improve your technique. To be sure you're using your body correctly, consider taking lessons or getting professional instructions when starting a new sport or using exercise equipment. •therapy •a variety of physical therapy techniques can help reduce the symptoms associated with patellar tendinitis, including: •patellar tendon strap. A strap that applies pressure to your patellar tendon can help to distribute force away from the tendon and direct it through the strap instead. This may help relieve pain. •iontophoresis. This therapy involves spreading a corticosteroid medicine on your skin and then using a device that delivers a low electrical charge to push the medication through your skin. •platelet-rich plasma injection. This type of injection has been tried in some people with chronic patellar tendon problems. Studies are ongoing. It is hoped the injections might promote new tissue formation and help heal tendon damage. •probably your stamina would've gone down due to over use of the joints and the metabolic activity is more due to running. You need to consume good protein diet so that your body will act as a reservoir. It will help you to fight against rather than affecting one particular area of your body for eg. Knee joint. For knee ligament pain or inflammation you need to keep ice which will help you to prevent the inflammation progressing further. •patellofemoral pain syndrome •usually fully relieved with simple measures or physical therapy. It may recur, however, if you do not make adjustments to your training routine or activity level. It is essential to maintain appropriate conditioning of the muscles around the knee, particularly the quadriceps and the hamstrings. •there are additional steps that you can take to prevent recurrence of patellofemoral •they include: •wearing shoes appropriate to your activities •warming up thoroughly before physical activity •incorporating stretching and flexibility exercises for the quadriceps and hamstrings into your warm-up routine, and stretching after physical activity •increasing training gradually •reducing any activity that has hurt your knees in the past •maintaining a healthy body weight to avoid overstressing your knees ••d cartilageacl •joints, ie. In the upper limbs if the pain is present in the fingers/wrist and in the lower limbs it the pain is present in the toes/ ankle, then we shall definitely say it is rheumatic arthritis. •if your proximal joints (ie. Shoulder, hip & knee has pain) then you can pour hot (warm) water in that area to reduce the inflammation. If you have pain in the distal joints ie. Wrist, fingers, ankle, toes then you can wear either elbow brace or wrist brace which will help you to feel warm and very protective. And also immerse the distal joints in the hot water tub which will help you to reduce the pain. ••knee pain during driving or watching movie. •it might due to lack of movements in the knee while the joints are immobilized during driving and while watching movies. It is important that you need to have movements in and around the knee so that the blood flow will not be disturbed. •knee ligament laxity•if you have problem in your legs then it might be due to ligament laxity where your legs would become very weak due to the old ligament injury and that should be treated immediately. •wear knee cap so that you will feel firm while walking or climbing stairs.•this is a general strain and for this you can follow these measures: one keep a pillow right under the knee while sleeping, next is you can keep ice in the painful area for about 5--10 minutes, if pain still persists you can stretch your body by twisting the waist on both sides how we used to do in the school drill similarly you can try! one time you can do hot water fermentation that would help to reduce the muscle strain.•legs becoming numb and also pain is there when the patient walks for 10-15 minutes?•it looks like you are anaemic.

Difficulty sleeping and leg pain, including cramps, can have various causes and may require different approaches for management. Here are some general suggestions that may help improve your sleep and alleviate leg pain: improve sleep hygiene: establish a regular sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Create a relaxing bedtime routine to signal to your body that it's time to wind down, which may include activities like reading, taking a warm bath, or practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or meditation. Create a comfortable sleep environment: make sure your bedroom is conducive to sleep by keeping it dark, quiet, and cool. Invest in a comfortable mattress and pillows that support your body and promote proper alignment. Limit stimulants and electronics: avoid consuming caffeine or nicotine close to bedtime, as they can interfere with sleep. Additionally, limit exposure to electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers before bedtime, as the blue light emitted from these devices can disrupt your sleep-wake cycle. Manage stress: stress and anxiety can contribute to difficulty sleeping and exacerbate leg pain. Practice stress-reduction techniques such as mindfulness meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, or yoga to help calm your mind and relax your body before bedtime. Address leg pain and cramps: if you're experiencing frequent leg pain and cramps, it's essential to identify and address the underlying cause. Common causes of leg pain and cramps include muscle fatigue, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, nerve compression, and certain medical conditions such as restless legs syndrome or peripheral artery disease. Consult with a healthcare professional to determine the cause of your leg pain and cramps and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Stay hydrated: drink an adequate amount of water throughout the day to prevent dehydration, which can contribute to muscle cramps. However, avoid consuming large amounts of fluids close to bedtime to minimize the need to wake up to urinate during the night. Stretch and exercise: gentle stretching exercises and regular physical activity, such as walking or swimming, can help improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and alleviate leg pain. However, avoid vigorous exercise close to bedtime, as it may interfere with your ability to fall asleep.
