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.

It's essential to address your multiple symptoms comprehensively, as they may indicate underlying health issues that need attention. Here are some steps you can take to address your concerns: consult with a healthcare professional: schedule an appointment with a healthcare provider, such as a primary care physician or internist, to discuss your symptoms. They can conduct a thorough evaluation, review your medical history, and perform necessary tests to determine the underlying cause of your knee and hip pain, lethargy, constipation, and difficulty gaining weight. Physical examination: your healthcare provider will perform a physical examination to assess your overall health, including your joints, muscles, and gastrointestinal system. They may also check your vital signs and conduct a neurological examination to evaluate any potential issues. Diagnostic tests: based on your symptoms and physical examination findings, your healthcare provider may recommend various diagnostic tests, including blood tests to assess for inflammatory markers, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid function, and other potential underlying conditions. Imaging studies such as x-rays or mri may also be ordered to evaluate your knee and hip joints if necessary. Treatment plan: once a diagnosis is established, your healthcare provider will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This may include medication management for pain relief or underlying conditions, dietary modifications to address constipation and support weight gain, physical therapy to improve joint mobility and strength, and lifestyle changes to improve overall health and well-being. Nutrition and lifestyle: pay attention to your diet and lifestyle habits, as they can significantly impact your symptoms. Focus on consuming a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats to support overall health and provide essential nutrients. Stay hydrated and incorporate regular physical activity into your routine to improve energy levels and promote overall well-being. Manage stress: stress can exacerbate symptoms such as lethargy and constipation. Practice stress-reduction techniques such as mindfulness meditation, deep breathing exercises, yoga, or spending time in nature to help manage stress and improve overall relaxation. Follow-up: be sure to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your progress, adjust your treatment plan as needed, and address any new or worsening symptoms.

Hello- a low testosterone level can affect both your quality of life and your health. It can cause fatigue, erectile dysfunction, depression and other emotional issues, insomnia, poor concentration, decreased bone density, and increase in body fat. With age, usually after the age of 30, the amount of testosterone in the body declines. Other causes of low testosterone levels include an injury or infection, diabetes, chronic liver or kidney disease, chemotherapy or radiation treatments, genetic abnormalities, hemochromatosis (iron overload), pituitary gland dysfunction, inflammatory diseases that impact the pituitary gland, stress, alcoholism and obesity and certain medications. It is also associated with certain nutritional deficiencies. In case the test shows low testosterone level and you experience the signs and symptoms for the same, don't worry. Ayurvedic aphrodisiac herbs and some simple lifestyle and dietary changes can help boost your testosterone level naturally.

Vitamin d deficiency can affect various bodily functions, including hormonal balance. Low levels of vitamin d might indirectly impact cortisol levels, but this relationship isn't straightforward. Insomnia can be a complex condition influenced by various factors, including stress, hormonal imbalances, and lifestyle. Both melatonin and cortisol tests can provide insights into your sleep issues. Homeopathic remedies like coffea cruda or passiflora can be helpful for insomnia, but I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to understand the underlying causes and to get a comprehensive treatment plan.
