Calf muscle pulls regular - #757

At age 52, regular calf muscle cramps, especially in the morning, along with elbow pain, low stamina, and general weakness, may indicate a Vata imbalance and possible deficiencies like Vitamin D, Calcium, or Magnesium. It is important to conduct tests for Vitamin D, Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin B12, and a Complete Blood Count (CBC) to identify any underlying nutritional deficiencies or anemia. Additionally, a Thyroid Function Test can rule out hypothyroidism, which may contribute to fatigue and weakness. For treatment, I recommend Dashmoolarishta to balance Vata and reduce joint and muscle pain, along with Ashwagandha for improving energy and stamina. Shilajit can be taken to boost overall vitality and strength. Regular Abhyanga (oil massage) with warm sesame oil on the calves and joints can help alleviate cramps and stiffness. Incorporate a balanced diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, and ensure proper hydration. Gentle yoga or stretching exercises in the morning can also help improve circulation and reduce cramps.
