What causes muscle pain in left hamstring with ripping feeling?
Patient: I had the bariatric sleeve done n November. I am having success with it as I have lost 120lbs. I had experience for muscle pain n my stomach that felt like my muscles were ripping when I truned a certain way. Those have gone away but now my left hamstring is dong this when I stand or stretch too fast. I am wondering what vitamin or mineral deficiency may cause this. I drink plenty of water each day also. email: YYYY@YYYY Doctor: hello,I think you are having vitamin d 3 and vitamin b 12 deficiency. I would suggest you to get these blood test .If there is any deficiency then you need to take 60000 unit vitamin D per week basis and 1000 microgram b 12 daily. Also take high protein diet to take care of muscle building. I hope these drugs will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.thanks
