Call your surgeon. You may have a potassium deficiency. Thus could get worse after surgery and you do not want a potassium iv; they hurt a lot. Dwfinitely call your surgeon.

I cramped too for about 2 weeks. Take your pain killers. Remember that you did just have major surgery and your insides have been rerouted. Remember not to lift anything over 10 lbs for the first 6 weeks. Good chance you can pull something apart.

I agree!! I had to get potassium iv in the hospital two days and it was the worst burning pain. And that was on the morphine! Wouldn't wish it on anyone.
