A member asked:

I feel pain in my shoulders,back,legs and feet and often get a muscle pull,i am taking wilgesic tablet and it releives symptoms temporarily......what should be done?would it be helpful to take mineral supplements?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Worth trying: .. especially those supplements with high concentration of electrolytes (potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium), which tend to trigger muscle pulls if their levels are low. If you are active, like an athlete, sweating and the resulting fluid loss is #1 cause of muscle cramps. You need to hydrate!! If recurrent pulls occur in odd places, visit the nearest healthcare professional for attention!
