I'm wondering if I'm getting enough magnesium and calcium. My right leg has really become weak. Only when walking any distance does it start hurting and feeling like the muscle is just weak as heck above the knee. If I walk to long after it starts hurting the pain goes up my thigh and down into my knee. My calf will hurt a little bit not like the knee and just above it.

I've dropped 17 lbs since my surgery 11 days ago. (235 down to 218)

I've started taking my magnesium again. But takes forever because the pills are large and I have to take 2. And taking my calcium again now. Just started taking these again yesterday.

Gonna try using my exercise bike on low intensity just to try and build that muscle back up.
Anyone had anything like this happen to them the first couple weeks after their surgery?
 
Has your dr said this is a magnesium problem? Your body has been through so much it is going to protest, how far are you walking or trying to walk?
 
Yeah, that just doesn't sound normal. Please have it checked, and let us know if you don't mind. We really do care about you sweetie. ❤❤❤❤
