chelseabell91 19 Posted April 6, 2014 Any advice for muscle aches? I noticed the more activity/ working out I do I feel as if I have growing pains ALL over my body. Today I did my first 5k... Very proud but very achy!! Hurts everywhere. Been getting at least 60 grams Protein. So not sure? Calcium? Taking my Vitamins too. Thanks guys! 1 fleabag1975 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallflower7522 328 Posted April 6, 2014 Could it low potassium maybe? Maybe make sure you're getting enough in what you're eating. I know I've been a lot more sore and tried working out than I was presurgery. I think it's almost inevitable for a while when you're getting so few calories.

Wallflower7522 328 Posted April 8, 2014 My arms are broke out in itchy red bumps. My dr didn't have much to say about it or what might be causing it but she said she'd give me a prescription for steroid cream and then forgot to send it in.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm gonna call my dr and nut tomorrow... I noticed that if I take Zyrtec (dissolvable 24hr) I don't break out. I'm assuming it's new sensitivities and out body adjusting. As far as he muscle cramps I have no idea... They come And go but boy do they hurt! I start back work tomorrow... Ah! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AprilHansen 109 Posted April 9, 2014 It could be the pain meds making you itch, known by drug addicts as the "opiate itches". I've been itchy too. Mostly on my shoulders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
