I'm exactly one week postop. And now I'm having knee pains in both knees.

I've NEVER had knee pains before. What is this??

Has anybody else experienced this? Does it go away, or is it here to stay?

Never heard of it. I lost my hand grip.

I didn't experience any knee pain. But at night I did experience leg cramps. [A muscle cramp is a strong, painful contraction or tightening of a muscle that comes on suddenly and lasts from a few seconds to several minutes. It often occurs in the legs. A muscle cramp is also called a charley horse. Nighttime leg cramps are usually sudden spasms, or tightening, of muscles in the calf.] Several threads report this condition was common after surgery. It can be caused by dehydration and also by a deficiency in vitamins/ minerals (Calcium, potassium).

Hello. Yes I have also experience knee pain and sometimes when I walk to much, it gets worse and can't hardly walk with my leg. I have heard it is cause by dyhydration or lack of calcium. My surgeon said it is important especially for women to take calcium every day for there bones.
