Lower joint weakness/pain since surgery?

[goirish78 100]

So here's an odd one:

I didn't have any issues with my knees or ankles prior to surgery; I could walk, climb stairs, etc. with no problems. I'm 7 weeks out from surgery, and for the last few days or so, I've been having some aches in my knees and ankles and they don't feel very stable when walking long distances, climbing stairs, etc. I'm stumped.

Anyone else experience this? Any ideas?

Mine was my left hip...and it happened about six weeks it got so had I had X-rays and everything! I just knew my hip was falling out of the socket

Nope all looked good.

After doing some research here I noticed it happened to a lot of people in about the same time frame! I read and think its because of the weight we've lost and our body posture is changing so things are shifting and we get sore spots? Well something like that anyway

Mine lasted about a month then just like that it was gone!

As usual, Laura-Ven to the rescue!! Thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy. I seriously felt like my knees were turning to Jello earlier today, and my coworkers were laughing at me because I was stopping every few steps to bend and flex my legs. My knees felt like they were going to pop out of place or something...so odd. At any rate, I guess I'll just keep an eye on it and see how it goes

How funny! I am 2 1/2 months out and I've never had hip pain and both hips have been aching! Especially at night! It wakez me up! I got adjusted on Friday,& my chicro said the same thing as Laura ven!!! I can't wait for the pain to go away!! Thanks for asking & posting ladies!

My chiro said this is normal in weightloss. I recommend going to a chiro to be adjusted, things are shifting in our body. there are all sorts of chiros out there so make sure it's one that isn't just adjust and go, rather someone that listens to you and really evaluates your movements and functions. Good luck

OMG, I thought I was going crazy! I am almost 6 weeks out and for the last week or so my left hip has been hurting when I walk and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why. The idea of my posture changing didn't even occur to me. Thanks Laura-Ven!

Whew - these are all a relief to read...I started the hip pain in both hips a few days ago, making me limpy (and the reason I hopped back on VST for the first time in a while to see if this was normal). I was baffled, as I always thought losing weight would take pressure off my joints, not cause pain! But that makes sense about different postures, walking differently, etc. But ouch! Hoping it goes away soon for everyone!
