I Had The Lapband Surgery 8/30/11 Why Does All My Joints Hurt So Bad?

[pdh 2]

Hi, It has been 3 months since my lapband surgery and now I suddenly have pain in my feet ,wrists,hips and shoulders and can not figure out why. I take my Vitamins twice daily and follow everything my doctor tells me ,but I hurt so bad at times. If anyone has any ideas of what I can do to stop this pain or why I am having this kind of pain let me know. Has anyone else experienced anything like this before?I have lost 38 pounds so far and am pleased with my weight loss, but need to find a way to stop these aches and pains.

Just asking,,,, Are you exercising at all ?

If not your muscles can start to Atrophy.

On the other hand if you over do it, you will feel it.

Other than guessing, I would go to my PCP,

and find out.

Good Luck, Shirley.

I'm the same way not so much my feet but my lower back and hip, and knee's. I've been exercising about 30 min a day and half to push that because of the pain.....if u figure or find anything out let me know....I c s visit to a specialist coming up.....lol

I would talk to your dr - this could be unrelated to the Lapband. Try to notice if the pain is in both sides at the same time or only one side - I've had similar issues and knowing that is key to helping figure out the problem. Good luck!

I actually have the same joint pain, I associated to maybe a need to add potassium into my diet. I do exercise 3-4 times a week, but I don't think is related to that. My surgery was 8/19/11 and I'm also down 38lbs.

After my surgery, my knees and back started bothering me. Come to find out, I have arthritis in my knees (confused why it didnt bother me when I was heavier) and I have been going to physical therapy for my back. It has really helped but all they do is core exercises, so maybe you could try that if your back is bothering you!

I found out my nexium slowed my absorption of magnesium and I'd get horrible joint pains until I started taking it daily. But I'd check w Dr, to check levels, as you eat much less, you may not be getting enough.
