Pulled Muscles....help

I was curious if anyone else is having or had this problem. I am 7 weeks post op and have lost 38 lbs. Whoa. A week or so ago I started having pain in my shoulder, elbow and hip. I laid off the workouts for a while and rested and still no change. Since I can't take NSAIDS ie Ibprofen so I went to the Dr. so see first of all what is wrong and secondly, what can be done. The Dr. said that I am loosing weight so fast that my ligaments are not shrinking at the same rate and therefore not supporting my muscles. I am pulling muscles and that is the pain. They say that my ligaments will tighten up eventually and will catch up to the weight loss. Has anyone else had this happen? If so how long were you in pain?

That's interesting. I've noticed that my shoulders and neck have been kind of achy, like tendinitis, etc. I'm three weeks out...

This is more than achy this is shooting stabbing pains everytime I move and dull throbbing when I sit still. Ahhh so done with this pain, I am so restless not being able to workout.
