I'm a breastfeeding mom and have been feeling pain in my legs for the past three days. The pain gets worse when I'm running, and I'm wondering if it could be due to a calcium or vitamin deficiency. It seems to be better when I'm resting. Can you help advise on what might be going on?

My friend had a medical abortion at six weeks. Initially, she didnt bleed for more than a day, but when the bleeding started, it was really heavy and lasted about four days before stopping all of a sudden. Is it normal for the bleeding to stop after just a few days like that? Since it stopped, she's been having severe stomach pain along with fever and headache. Could you help us understand why the bleeding might have stopped so quickly and what might be causing her to have these symptoms?

go for ultrasound scan and consult Obestricician
