calcium and vitamin d3 tablets - #19535

For the last few months, I've been dealing with constant pain in my knees and lower back. At first, I thought it was just normal tiredness, but it's not going away. It gets worse when I sit for too long or climb stairs. I finally went to the doctor, and they said my bone density is a bit low and prescribed calcium and vitamin d3 tablets. I’ve been taking them for about a month now, but I don't really feel any difference. My joints still feel stiff in the morning, and the pain is still there. I don’t know if these calcium and vitamin d3 tablets are actually doing anything or if my body isn’t absorbing them properly. I also read somewhere that taking these tablets for too long might have side effects, like kidney stones or stomach issues. I don't want to keep taking them forever if there’s another way to fix this problem. I also feel bloated all the time after taking these calcium and vitamin d3 tablets, so I don't know if it's related or just a coincidence. I started wondering if Ayurveda has a better way to strengthen bones naturally instead of relying on these calcium and vitamin d3 tablets. Are there specific foods, herbs, or oils that help with weak bones? Also, is there something wrong with my digestion that’s preventing my body from using these nutrients properly? Maybe there are some Ayurvedic remedies to improve calcium absorption? I’ve heard of things like Muktashukti Bhasma and Ashwagandha, but I don’t know if they would help in my case. What would you suggest to naturally improve bone health without depending on these calcium and vitamin d3 tablets? Are there Ayurvedic treatments or massages that can help with joint pain? I’m open to trying herbal remedies, but I don’t know where to start. Also, should I stop taking these tablets suddenly or reduce them gradually? Looking for some real advice before I keep taking something that might not even be helping.
