I'm 2 weeks post-op and having muscle cramps in my hands, legs and feet. Is this normal?

A lot of people have them, however they often indicate that a nutrient is missing. You should check with your doctor. I am taking an extra magnesium supplement. I also have to do some stretching exercises for my legs before bed. Your doctor should be able to advise you. Hope you feel better soon.

Excellent advice @@NYCkindofgirl Couldn't have advised better myself......I use a cooling gel sometimes and it helps to stop the heat that comes with these cramps. Or a nice long hot bath!

This is most likely your potassium & magnesium. Are you on full liquids yet? banana smoothie should help.

Muscle cramps are also a symptom of dehydration. Are you able to meet your fluids for the day? Hope you start to feel better soon.

Usually dehydration causes muscle cramps before electrolytes would. Try rehydration until you can get to your doc for blood work.

Good luck!!

Since I've started on soft foods (2 days) I haven't been drinking as much fluids as I was.
