I experience pain in both legs when standing for a long time, and feel a constant strain while moving. My doctor recommended Calcaria Phos 6X and 4X, 3 tablets each, to be taken for 3 months. After starting the medication, I feel better. How long should I continue taking Calcaria Phos to maintain normal calcium levels? I have not done a blood test yet, can I get my calcium level checked after 1 month? Please advise.

Long standing leg pain may be from low calcium or posture issues. Calcarea Phos is safe for short use, but effectiveness varies. Do a Serum Calcium and Vitamin D test after 1 month to check if supplementation helped.

I have been experiencing muscle pain in my calves for a long time, especially in the morning. My calcium levels were normal when tested, but my doctor suggested that the problem may be due to calcium and vitamin D deficiency and prescribed supplements. After taking the supplements, I feel better. Could this still be due to calcium deficiency even though my test results were normal?
