I am experiencing increasing bone and ligament pain day by day. Are calcium supplements like Cal-G or similar medicines effective for strengthening bones?

Increasing bone and ligament pain can be due to calcium or vitamin D deficiency, overuse, or joint issues. Supplements like Cal-G can help strengthen bones if there is a deficiency, but they work best when combined with vitamin D, a proper diet, and sunlight exposure. However, taking supplements without knowing the cause may not give full relief. It is better to get basic tests (calcium, vitamin D) and consult a doctor to identify the exact reason and choose the right treatment.
I had an accident and underwent surgery for a fractured humerus. Now, I hear sounds (clicking/cracking) from my joints, and they feel weak. What should I do?

After a fracture and surgery of the arm bone, it is common to feel joint weakness and hear clicking sounds during recovery, especially if muscles are still weak or joints are stiff. Gradual physiotherapy and strengthening exercises are very important to regain strength and stability. Ensure proper nutrition with calcium and vitamin D, and avoid overstraining the joints. However, if the sounds are painful, it is best to consult your orthopaedic doctor to rule out any issues with healing or joint alignment.
