My hip joints hurt. I can't figure out how it relates to surgery, but I never had it before!

Maybe vitamin d is low? A friend who had the surgery told me he had joint pains and took vitamin d and it helped. I have had more knee pain recently I increased my vitamin d and it helped. Be careful with d it is an oil soluble vitamin and can build up so don't take megadoses.

I have/had RA since before and after surgery- It was bad after surgery mainly due to the shock of my immune system with anesthesia etc. But since losing weight the joint pain has gotten better. I dont know how long it has been since your surgery but I know they that the position you are in during surgery for 1-2 hours can sometimes cause pain immediately afterwards for a few days but that is purely positional- If it continues I would mention it to your PCP- you may need to see a rheumatologist.

Talk to your surgeon about the pain in your left arm. Is it just in the joint or all over? I don't mean to scare you at all,,but a symptom of a leak can be left shoulder/arm pain. It was one of the first symptoms I had.

No it's pain in my elbow and wrist! It goes away with a heating pad! And it's not consistant! I started powder vitamins in my protein and it is getting a little more tolerable!

Yea I have the same pain in my elbows and wrist. I, too, am wondering what it is and I am also at the end of my third week? Just start about a week ago. It's driving me crazy. Can't sleep too well.
