Question:
Did anyone get muscel spasmas?

I have been getting muscel spasmas in my arms and legs. I am 15 days post op. They don't hurt just feel funny. Not sure what is going on.    — Julie M. (posted on February 16, 2002)

Just to be safe, PLEASE see you doctor as soon as you can. (Does'nt have to be your surgeon). Then have a blood test to check your electrolites... specificaly your POTASSIUM level. "If" it is low potassium it is vital to get your levels up to normal IMMEDIATLY! I can not stress this enough. "IF" it is low potassium, it is VERY DANGEROUS. It may not be that for you. I don't know. But potassium has to do with your muscles (the heart is a big muscle). Please DO NOT DELAY. Read my profile to see the mess low potassium got me into. You CAN have a heart attack with low potassium. Again, I can not say you have that problem... but when I hear about peoples muscles doing this kind of thing, then I worry about them. Good luck, and get going and have that blood test NOW!
