I've been struggling with joint pain for the past 10 days and my doctor mentioned it might be due to a calcium deficiency. He suggested taking calcitas powder twice a day. I've been on this for 5 days now, but I still don't feel any relief. Should I keep taking it, or is there something else I should consider?

My wrist bones are really thin, and it's starting to worry me. Is there any medicine I could take to make them thicker, or any method that could help? Id really appreciate some advice on this.

I've been noticing this issue with my calf muscles for almost a year now. Every night when I lie down to sleep, I feel this persistent pain in my leg, and it's even worse during the winter months. The discomfort just doesn't seem to go away. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or how I can find some relief?
. Calf pain is usually due to venous insufficiency, muscle strain due to abnormal posture or stress, rarely even arterial insufficiency. It will need detailed clinical examination. Also investigations like venous or arterial doppler might be needed is venous or arterial insufficiency is suspected. So kindly consult a general surgeon
