Aches and Pains

[jackersducky 17]

Has anyone else noticed that their level of aches and pains has increased since the surgery? I am about 6 weeks post op RNY and down to 263lbs from 299 surgery weight. I work a mostly sedentary job although I've been making an effort to get out and walk. If i cannot walk outside i walk the stairs for 30 minutes a day. But recently i have noticed my back, hips, shoulders, etc have been so sore. I even have trouble sleeping at night due to all my new aches and pains. I was on 500mg of Naproxen prior to surgery have since stopped and perhaps that is the reason. My question is has anyone else experienced this and if so any suggestions on how to alleviate the pain? I don't want to OD on Tylenol! Thank you in advance for any advice!

There are ligament/ joint adjustments while losing weight, we sit and walk differently, so our carriage is changing. My stomach doesn't lead the way anymore, so other muscles are stretching in a different direction. I seem taller and my knees bang together in my sleep - ouch - less padding, also I have no ass - that chair suddenly got harder lol

Lol yes my favorite chair just turned into a brick at leas I know I’m not alone. Seems like I lost all my weight in my legs first so now my chicken legs are knocking their drumsticks together. Hopefully it gets better [emoji4]
