Shelcal is for those with calcium or Vit d imbalances. At your age this is unlikely.
This may not be the cause of your back or leg pain.
I suspect your pain may be disc related. Visit the nearest ortho surgeon who can examine your back and legs, and guide you on what to take.
Blood tests are necessary to establish deficiency of calcium and vit d before you start taking those medicines

No you should not. It is unlikely that you have deficiency at 24. Please see an orthopaedic surgeon for assessment. Dr M Vashishtha FRCS, www.dr-mv.com
