I 'd start with taking magnesium every day. If this is the reason for your pain, you'll notice an improvement within a couple of days. I take 1000Mg per day.

I take Magnesium daily. I was on Malate but just started Citrate so I am hoping it might help! Thanks!

I am also very long term. 14 years I think, ha. I am old, be kind. Anyway, yes I have leg pains. The first year I was given 50,000 mg of Vit D. The next year I had scan and found out I have osteoporosis. Ask your Dr to check for that. Good luck

As other mentioned, calcium, magnesium, and vit D3 and K2. If you are losing calcium from your bones, that can cause severe bone pains. If you have not done that - make sure to get DEXA scan. If you are too young and insurance does not want to payp for it, check full body DEXA scan. Places were we can get full body DEXA are all over USA and can cost $80-150 per scan (depends on location).

I have severe leg pains, hip pains when my iron dropped. Low ferritin (iron stores) can cause RLS syndrome.

Info on Iron and RLS:

Read it - print it out and take it to the doc. Most of them don't know low iron can cause RLS syndrome.

A lot of time low iron in a tissues can cause severe RLS symptoms.

I am 5mi this post op and I wake up every night witheg pains. Deep bone leg and knee pain. Only at night though.

My dr says it is because of the shape of my resting body has changed. So now my legs rest at a different angle. Which makes sense for me. I need to start burning fat arou d my hips so there is not such a dip.
