Muscle aches?

Any advice for muscle aches?

I noticed the more activity/ working out I do I feel as if I have growing pains ALL over my body. Today I did my first 5k... Very proud but very achy!! Hurts everywhere. Been getting at least 60 grams Protein. So not sure? Calcium? Taking my

Vitamins too.

Thanks guys!

Could it low potassium maybe? Maybe make sure you're getting enough in what you're eating.

I know I've been a lot more sore and tried working out than I was presurgery. I think it's almost inevitable for a while when you're getting so few calories.

you need magnesium luv

Thanks guys. I'm taking my

Bariatric calcium 4x day and it has all that in it, plus my Flinstones daily vits.

Also, since the surgery EVERYTHING 'make me itch. I even break out in welps and hives... Any idea? It's driving me insane!!!

My arms are broke out in itchy red bumps. My dr didn't have much to say about it or what might be causing it but she said she'd give me a prescription for steroid cream and then forgot to send it in....

I'm gonna call my dr and nut tomorrow... I noticed that if I take Zyrtec (dissolvable 24hr) I don't break out. I'm assuming it's new sensitivities and out body adjusting. As far as he muscle cramps I have no idea... They come

And go but boy do they hurt!

I start back work tomorrow... Ah!

It could be the pain meds making you itch, known by drug addicts as the "opiate itches". I've been itchy too. Mostly on my shoulders.
