Unusual muscle tension

I'm three weeks past surgery, and things have been going pretty well, all things considered.

However, in the last five days or so, I've been experiencing unusual and extreme muscle tension in my legs and back, and I don't know why. It seems to correlate to my return to work, but I can't think of anything I'm doing at work that would contribute to it. My leg muscles are very stiff, making it hard to walk any real distance, and my back muscles are in knots.

What I'm wondering is, could some nutritional deficiency be causing this? It's conceivable I'm just tense from coming back to work, but I can't help but doubt it.

Makes sense, especially since the nutritionist said I wasn't taking enough calcium pills...I thought I was supposed to chew up one a day, but apparently I'm supposed to do three a day.

I had a similar issue in my legs....hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!!!

That's definitely not an issue for me. I'm drinking 3-4 liters a day.
