Hello doctor, my mom is 55 years old. Her hemoglobin level and platelet count are normal, and she is not anemic, but she still has consistent body pains and feels very tired. Can you help me understand the reason for this?

Normal hemoglobin and platelets rule out anemia. Persistent body pain and fatigue may indicate vitamin deficiency. Common causes include low Vitamin D or B12. Thyroid imbalance can also lead to tiredness. Further tests can help pinpoint the cause.

Take a Vitamin B12 Test Test or Take a Vitamin D Test Test

I am pregnant and have a Vitamin D deficiency. My neurologist prescribed Nervon Forte. Is it safe to take this medicine during pregnancy?

I felt pain on the side of my shin above the ankle after running a week, almost 5 to 7 km daily with 2 days rest in between. I have completed a half marathon twice before, but this time I started running after a break of 4 to 5 months. I rested for 2 weeks and then saw a physiotherapist. He did TENS and laser for 11 days, suggested exercises, and advised trying running again after 2 to 3 days. After approximately 5 weeks of complete rest and 2 weeks of physiotherapy with hot and cold packs, I started running again, but pain appeared even after running 300 meters. My vitamin D is 11.75. What should I do? Should I meet an orthopedist or someone else?
