FinallyDoingThis

Hello everyone, I am new here and made this account just to ask this question. I'm on day 5 of my pre-op liquid diet and yesterday and today have been in *intense* pain. Muscle pain all over my body, but especially in my legs, that is just intense sustained pain. They feel like they're on fire. Pain to the point that at times (for as long as an hour+) I'm writhing in a ball and sobbing and screaming and my husband has no idea what to do. Sustained pain of an intensity that I haven't felt since I broke my upper arm years ago. Did this happen to anyone else? Is there a way to fix it? I'm losing my mind here and can't deal with this kind of ongoing pain! I will definitely call my doctor as soon as they open tomorrow if it hasn't stopped, but it's Sunday and looking for input in the meantime. Thanks so much.

Yes, we thought of Postassium and got some zero calorie sports drink like Gatorade that says it has potassium. I am still taking a multi-vitamin. Maybe it's not enough? Or it's something else, I don't know. Thanks for the ideas though!
